Programme Business Continuity Outline
A short continuity structure for programmes exposed to access, weather and supply disruption.
Identify
- Critical activities that cannot pause without harm.
- Single points of failure: one road, one supplier, one warehouse, one connection.
Prepare
- Alternative routes, suppliers and storage identified in advance.
- Pre-positioned stock for seasonal access loss.
- Communications fallback and contact tree.
Respond
- Trigger points that activate the plan.
- Named decision-maker per trigger.
- Disruption reporting to donors and partners.
Recover
- Resumption sequence and catch-up plan.
- Documented lessons after every activation.
