The Impact-over-time analysis for CBF-9 underscores the criticality of timely funding, accurate donor management, and effective resource allocation for SHINE’s operational resilience.
Sub-functions such as emergency fund management and financial reporting exhibit immediate, high impacts, underscoring the need for rapid recovery and robust contingency planning.
By understanding how each sub-function’s disruption propagates over time, SHINE can prioritise mitigation strategies, allocate resources efficiently, and ensure continuity of services for children and youth during unforeseen events.
CBF-9 Funding, Resource & Donor Management
The efficient execution of SHINE’s critical business function CBF-9, encompassing Funding, Resource, and Donor Management, relies heavily on technology to streamline processes, ensure data accuracy, and support timely decision-making.
This section outlines the key IT systems, applications, and supporting resources that underpin each sub-critical business function (Sub-CBF) of CBF-9.
Additionally, the Recovery Point Objective (RPO) and System Recovery Time Objective (RTO) are specified to inform business continuity planning, and any specialised equipment or resources required to maintain these systems are identified.
