PRAN Risk Management Policy

PRAN Risk Management Policy

1. Introduction & Scope

This policy establishes a framework for identifying and mitigating risks that could hinder PRAN’s mission to advance justice and accountability in India. It applies to all board members, staff, and volunteers involved in our 4As Strategic Approach.

2. Risk Categories & Mitigation Strategies

3. The Risk Management "Loop"

PRAN integrates risk management directly into our 4As model:

1. Appreciate: Identify social and legal barriers to progress.

2. Assist: Ensure direct legal aid does not create professional liability for the foundation.

3. Analyze: Conduct rigorous evidence checks to prevent the dissemination of misinformation.

4. Advocate: Use a "Multi-Stakeholder Engagement" model to ensure balanced and defensible policy recommendations.

4. Roles & Responsibilities

• Executive Director (Amarjeet Singh): Ultimate responsibility for institutional risk and legal compliance.

• Scientific & Research Lead (Dr. Seema): Oversight of research integrity and data-driven risk assessment.

• Advisory Network: Providing periodic "external audits" of PRAN’s strategic risks.
