Sheena, a managing director of a non-profit organization, reviews an evaluation proposal submitted by a team of evaluators who plan to look at Sheena’s community outreach program. Sheena reads the last section “Assessments of Feasibility and Risk Factors” carefully, which contains a paragraph of description and a table as shown below.

Question

4.2. Risk Factors

The evaluation team has identified several risk factors as indicated in Table 4. The team may uncover other risk factors while completing the evaluation project. However, without resolving issues associated with the serious risk factors, the team may not be able to continue with the implementation phase of the project; it may be better to delay or forgo it.





She is unsure whether the information in this section is suggesting her to continue with the implementation phase of the project or cancel the project.

What could the team done to help Sheena understand better about the risk factors?

a. Merge the Risk Factors section with the feasibility assessment section.

b. Move the Fisk Factors section to the Organization section.

c. Insert additional risk factors that are unlikely to happen.

d. Describe individual risk factors and methods to manage them.
