| Summary: | Top decision makers and governments
worldwide are witnessing an accelerating number of major
shocks-global financial crises, hyper-volatility in
commodity prices, devastating natural disasters,
intercontinental pandemics as well as the changing nature of
terrorism threats. These shocks, which inflict human
suffering and major social, economic and political
disruption, are fundamentally changing how governments view
the importance of good risk management and the need to
strengthen national resilience. As a consequence, risk
management has evolved from being a technical issue to a
strategic consideration. This report is input for the
government of Morocco's development of an integrated
risk management strategy. Developing and adopting a national
strategy for integrated risk management (IRM) will make
Morocco not only better prepared to avoid future crises, and
more reactive and resilient if and when they occur, but also
helps the government make more informed decisions on
resource allocation and prioritization. |
