In an innovative step to expand the conversation on risk culture in the third sector, Mohanna Eljabaly released a unique illustrated story titled “Two Women. One System.” The visual piece follows two fictional characters — Lina and Salma — who work within the same humanitarian system but adopt very different approaches to managing risk. The story captures how risk transfer and risk sharing manifest in practice, shedding light on the subtle decisions that shape accountability, trust, and equity in partnerships.

Available in both English and Arabic, the comic has been described as “simple but sharp,” offering a new kind of tool for humanitarian leaders, facilitators, and policy advocates.

At the same time, Mohanna facilitated a high-turnout Risk Fundamentals session for over 100 national NGO representatives in Yemen, as part of an event organized by the National NGOs Forum. The session — delivered in Arabic — introduced core concepts in risk identification, analysis, and response. It also featured interactive digital tools powered by AI that allowed participants to log actual risks in real time and see them processed into a structured risk register.

“It wasn’t just a training — it was a signal,” Mohanna shared. “The number of engaged participants, and the quality of their questions, reflects how far national NGOs have come in owning and managing their risks.”

Combined with another global risk-sharing webinar earlier in the month, over 130 learners took part in Mohanna.io-led sessions in July alone — highlighting the sector’s growing appetite for practical, field-informed learning.

Looking ahead, Mohanna has finalized the first-ever Risk Maturity Model for NGOs, set to be released in August. The model includes an interactive self-assessment tool that gives organizations a tailored pathway for building stronger, more deliberate risk systems.
