    • Provide contextual analysis
    • Facilitate an ‘actor mapping’ exercise
    • Achieve buy-in through agreement of stakeholders on ‘problem identification’
    • Achieve consensus on ‘solution identification’.
    • Focus precious management attention and resources on the highest priority problems first
    • Draw on our own experience to shape the most logical ‘solutions’ in accordance with the principles of conflict sensitive programming and in accordance with your organisational mandate and values.
    • Assist managers to draw up and communicate a logical implementation plan of any agreed measures.

Depending on the availability of your RM4HD consultant, (s)he may be retained for longer periods in order to assist in the implementation of; training, recruitment of the right people, stakeholder management and/or procurement.

Testimonials

Mark from RM4HD was with our team for less than two weeks, but if we had the time I would have kept him there for a month. Save the Children is delivering a $42million, four year project in Uruzgan Province - one of the most troubled in Afghanistan - and we were seeking an experienced Risk Manager to advise our team on Project Risk Management in complex environments like Uruzgan. We were seeking advice on project delivery that did not compromise our values as a humanitarian organisation or undermine our implementation of an Acceptance Model for security management. Through Mark's iterative process of Context, Threat and Vulnerability analysis he facilitated a process which ensured the buy-in of key staff through their active participation in what he calls 'Problem Identification'. From there it was a simple process for him to create the prioritised measures that need to be put in place - 'solution identification'. The best thing about everyone being involved in the process, including the staff of partner organisations is that there is now a common reference point when discussing matters of staff safety or project risk and the budgetary/process/profile implications. Mark's years of experience as a Security Officer with humanitarian and development organisations in complex environments came to the fore in working with our staff.
