As the country continues to battle many challenges, donor funded programs and projects have evidently become a very important aspect of the health delivery system in Zimbabwe. These programs have grown tremendously and as highlighted earlier, enormous investments have been made (MOFED, 2016: 11). As both programs and investments grow, complexity creeps in. This calls for a greater awareness and understanding of risks. This research seeks to contribute to better understanding of risk in donor funded projects in the Zimbabwean health sector. Such a contribution helps improve the impact and success of projects and programs. It is this research’s submission that, the quest for improved program/project performance is not complete without efforts to better understand program risk.
