The activities are aimed at ensuring the active participation and involvement of all IITA staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Risk management is a significant and daily concern. In the last four years, IITA has invested in efforts to identify its global risks, proffering actions that address the risks as well as setting up business continuity plans for various units. Since the Risk Management Committee (RMC) was inaugurated by DG\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/iita.org\/fr\/sanginga-nteranya\/\">Nteranya Sanginga<\/a>\u00a0in October 2012, the Committee has been able to set up RMCs in the four regional hubs, and carried out awareness seminars in the hubs and some stations as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The awareness week is one of the many strategies IITA is undertaking to ensure that risk remains no longer an abstract concept but a tool for improved business processes and practices.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On
