About hand in hand eastern africa
Hand in Hand Eastern Africa (HiH EA) is a registered Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) in Kenya and Tanzania and is part of the Hand in Hand global network.
The organization commenced operations in Kenya in October 2010 and is currently operating 25 branches serving 33 counties in Kenya. The organization works with marginalized communities in the areas of economic and social empowerment using a participatory approach aimed at helping people fight poverty and vulnerability.
The Hand in Hand enterprise and job creation approach is based on a philosophy of self-help, providing training, skills and support to enable people living in poverty, particularly women, to build and sustain independent, market-based, economic activities.
Vision - An empowered society with sustainable enterprises and jobs.
Mission - To facilitate communities out of poverty through creation of sustainable enterprises.
Our approach
The HiH EA enterprise development model is premised on the need to create sustainable income generating activities by addressing major challenges facing many small-scale farmers/entrepreneurs. The Hand in Hand approach sees job creation as a highly effective development tool where micro-entrepreneurs are key drivers for economic growth and poverty reduction. The model supports job creation via four interlinked components i.e.
Self Help Group Mobilization
Business training, saving and access to credit
Value addition
Market linkage and availability
Objective of organizational risk assessment
The risk assessment exercise is aimed at improving risk management processes within the organization, its governance processes and internal control system so as to effectively execute its mandate.
Specifically, the main objectives of this exercise are:
Outline the strengths and weaknesses of HiH EA’s organizational, strategic and operational structures and processes.
Evaluate the level of HiH EA’s organizational skills and capacity to support HiH EA’s expansion both in Kenya and across Eastern Africa, and ability to reach set targets.
Assist in the identification and assessment of significant risks, which may affect HiH EA’s organizational performance today and in the future. This will cover the full spectrum of risks such as strategic risks, reputational risk, regulatory compliance risks, financial risks, projects risks, business process risk, technology and systems risk, human resource management risks, and business continuity risks;
Rank or evaluate the risks;
Propose suitable risk mitigation measures;
Document the identified risks in a risk register;
Design and implement practical tools and techniques for risk management (key risk indicators, incident management, risk quantification, compliance, and action point tracking and monitoring and reporting).
Develop and document strategies aimed at reducing risk to acceptable level.
Key deliverables
Successful performance of this assignment will be based on production and timely submission to HiH EA of the following deliverables within 4 weeks:
Inception report, completed within two weeks of commencement of assignment.
Facilitate a one day dissemination and action planning workshop with management based on the risk assessment
