Project-at-risk definition
Project-at-risk. (PAR) assessments are a means of identifying projects at risk of not meeting their objectives. Projects at risk consist of actual and potential problem projects. An actual problem project is one that does not meet criteria for implementation progress (IP) and/or achievement of development objectives (DO); a potential problem project is one rated satisfactory on implementation progress and achievement of development objectives, but having risk factors historically associated with unsatisfactory outcomes. Potential problem projects are identified using criteria related to implementation experience and past portfolio performance in the country and sector involved.
