OUTSTANDING RISKS AND MITIGATION MEASURES 14

Overall Risks (1) 1- TIMETABLE RISKS � Delay in initiating ICP 2017 survey activities in selected regions � Delay in data submission for interim years 2- QUALITY RISKS � Low number of conducted regional workshops in some regions � Delay in initiating global data validation for interim years 3- FUNDING RISKS � Additional funding to support surveys in Caribbean countries � Global funding gap 15

Overall Risks (2) 4- PARTICIPATION RISKS � Lack of clarity regarding the participation of Pacific islands � Difficulties in securing the participation of some fragile states 5- ADMINISTRATIVE CHALLENGES � More strenuous administrative processes in many agencies related to channeling funding, arranging regional workshops, and attending global meetings 16
