Innovative Edge Session: A New Approach to Risk Sharing and Compliance Management

At the RINGO Learn­ing Fes­ti­val in 2022, RINGO Lab mem­bers Anto­nia Pot­ter Pren­tice and Bert Maerten (the Idea Car­ri­ers) shared key learn­ings from devel­op­ing and test­ing the inno­va­tion: A New Approach to Risk Shar­ing and Com­pli­ance Man­age­ment.

How might we organ­ise risk shar­ing and com­pli­ance man­age­ment dif­fer­ent­ly with­in inter­na­tion­al devel­op­ment and human­i­tar­i­an actions in ways that are more effec­tive, trust-based, empow­er­ing, and equi­table?

This pro­to­typ­ing team is seek­ing to co-con­struct part­ner­ships of gen­uine sol­i­dar­i­ty where risk is shared and con­tin­u­ous­ly nav­i­gat­ed and nego­ti­at­ed by all stake­hold­ers. To do this, they looked at how ‘brave con­ver­sa­tions’ between donors, inter­na­tion­al NGO inter­me­di­aries and local NGOs could lead to a new sys­tem of risk man­age­ment and com­pli­ance that dis­rupts the exist­ing pow­er imbal­ance in the sec­tor by look­ing beyond the needs of the dom­i­nant or more pow­er­ful actors.
