The Governance Brief: Risk-Based Governance Assessment: An Approach to Assist in Mainstreaming Governance (Issue 18-2009)
Katon, Brenda M. | June 2009
Abstract
A key requirement of the Asian Development Bank’s (ADB) Second Governance and Anti-corruption Action Plan (GACAP II) is the preparation of governance risk assessments and risk management plans (RA/RMPs) to inform country partnership strategies (CPS), programs, and/or projects in priority sectors. This governance brief provides a concise conceptual introduction to the preparation of these RA/RMPs and presents selected cases that illustrate how RA/RMPs have guided the design of country strategies, sector road maps, and programs and/or projects. The brief concludes with an overview of lessons learned. It is meant primarily for ADB staff and consultants involved in carrying out RA/RMPs.
