7. Risks<br />
The major risk attached to this consultancy is the extremely tight timeframe for implementation as a result of<br />
the lengthy negotiations, which have resulted in the proposed period for implementation being reduced from<br />
eight months to six. The specific risks related to this include:<br />
a) delayed feedback from the CSSSC on any component could create a knock-on effect, resulting in delayed<br />
implementation of subsequent activities;<br />
b) communities not available during the proposed week for delivery of the pilot community training<br />
programmes;<br />
c) trainers not available during the proposed week for delivery of the pilot Training of Trainers workshop;<br />
d) potential CANARI involvement in capacity building of and support for civil society organisations attending<br />
the UNFCCC Conference of the Parties in Mexico in November 2010, which may involve one of more of<br />
the Associates;<br />
e) disruption of workshops as a result of storms or hurricanes.<br />
The main way in which CANARI is seeking to mitigate these risks is through the composition of its project<br />
team. While each member has been allocated specific areas of the project to implement, there is considerable<br />
overlap in terms of skills and experience as well as a flexible approach, which means that one member of the<br />
team can step in and assist or take over from another should the need arise.<br />
Nevertheless, CANARI is not in a position to fully mitigate all the risks listed above and we therefore<br />
recommend that <strong>CDEMA</strong> notify the Austrian Development Agency of these risks and negotiate a potential<br />
extension to the project in the event that one or more of these risks becomes a reality.<br />
