RISK MANAGEMENT IN VOLUNTEER PROJECTS

Abstract

The question of the organization of charitable activities in Ukraine was considered, the specifics of volunteering in modern conditions were determined. The need for risk management in volunteer projects is emphasized. The purpose of the article is to review the theoretical foundations and develop practical recommendations for risk management of volunteer projects. The methodological basis of the research was logical methods of information processing, methods of analysis for identifying project risks, an abstract-logical method for formulating recommendations and conclusions. Presenting main material. The theoretical and methodological principles of charitable activities in Ukraine are considered. The specifics of implementing volunteer projects were analyzed and their risks were identified. It was determined that they are characterized by external risks associated with legislation, the search for donors, communication links, etc., and internal risks, which can include motivational risks, risks associated with compliance with the requirements of the "project triangle", and the risks of project participants. The risks of volunteer projects have been identified. Project risk management measures are proposed, the implementation of which will make it possible to prevent the occurrence of a risky situation or reduce its negative impact on the achievement of project goals. The originality and practical significance of the research is confirmed by the possibility of using the proposed measures as a practical risk management tool for planning volunteer projects. Conclusions and prospects for further research. The proposed identification of project risks and recommendations for their management can be used to further improve the risk management processes of volunteer projects by creating simulation models for evaluating the quantitative characteristics of adverse events.
