Assessing risk management in Brazilian social projects
A path towards sustainable development
Bibliographic Data
Social projects are an important mean to reduce social problems and they have an increased relevance in contexts of high social inequalities, as it is the case of Brazil. However, the existence of these projects may not be enough, they need to be properly managed, including projects risks. In this context, this paper aims to evaluate the application of risk management in social projects in Brazil. A survey was performed with social project managers and data was analyzed through TOPSIS (Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution), to rank the items application levels, according to the ISO 31,000’s guidelines. Results provide an overview of Brazilian situation. According to the findings presented, the items related to projects context analysis, and responsibility assignments in the projects were the items better applied, while the items related to the understanding of team members regarding risks in social projects and to the amplitude of risk management in the projects were the items with the worst rank positions. The findings presented here contribute to expand the debates on the subject
