LESSON
Lesson Learned: Improving Maya Women's Access to Justice in Rural Guatemala
Risk assessments can include a do no harm analysis: The implementing agency had a risk assessment which identified potential risks to not achieving project targets. A risk assessment could also be expanded to identify potential risks to participants for their participation in the project. These risks can be identified initially and then continuously monitored throughout project implementation through feedback mechanisms and special studies.
