Principal Risks

Overview

• may affect the achievement of WHO’s objectives (including GPW13 implementation); and

• require alignment and coordination in their response and mitigation across the three levels of the Organization.

The Principal Risks are the result of a “bottom-up” risk identification as captured in WHO’s corporate Risk Management Tool, complemented by a “top-down” review conducted by the Global Risk Management Committee, to ensure relevance of WHO’s risk universe.
