The programme are delivered through development pathways (from national, sub-national to community level) and using risk governance building blocks to provide the enabling environment for ensuring that all future development within a pathway is risk informed, inclusive, and gender sensitive. Potential areas entry points include working with 1) community and NGOs, 2) finance and national planning, 3) gender and social inclusion, 4) private sector and 5) other thematic sectors (e.g. agriculture, health, education) where it suits. The programme has been given a subsequent phase to scale up the work that from the initial pilot in 4 countries to the region.
