Risk Management Lessons from Quick Impact Projects Implementation

Quick impact projects undertaken within the framework of the United Nations Department of Peacekeeping Operations/Department of Field Support (DPKO/DFS) Policy Directive are widely diverse and have often significant budgets, and thus reducing risks associated should be a priority for the projects management team. This book presents an application of risk management lessons from quick impact projects implemented in North Darfur. In this book, risk management has been examined in a case study of the African Union - United Nations Hybrid Operation in Darfur (UNAMID) quick impact projects (QIPs) were chosen. Moreover, based on the particular feature and area of analysis and consists of direct observation of the risk management lessons from 82 quick impact projects implemented during the period between September 2008 and December 2011 across North Darfur, the research presents how risks change during a project life cycle and helps to realize how the quick impact projects implementation work with this concept. All analyses are based on a practitioner background regarding risk management process and project monitoring and evaluation approach in the project management area.
