The Government of an Unnamed Country Has Assigned a Project

The government of an unnamed country has assigned a project team to initiate and run a program to create jobs. The program will include job training, career counseling, unemployment payments, and hiring incentives for employers. During the team's risk brainstorming session, members identified several things that could go wrong during project delivery. A major concern that came to the surface was that program funding could be cut before their efforts had the opportunity to bear significant results. They viewed this possible risk as having a monumental potential impact on the project i.e., program cancellation and a major setback in job creation) . However, they viewed the risk as having a relatively low likelihood of occurrence. If the team were to position this risk on a traditional risk matrix during a risk mapping exercise, where would it be most appropriately placed?
