Abstract: 
Risk management of international engineering project contracting with third world countries in Africa is a critical aspect that requires thorough investigation due to the unique challenges and complexities involved. The study delves into the various risk factors prevalent in international engineering projects with third world countries in Africa; different risk management strategy options and how they can be tailored to suit the specific context of international engineering projects with third world countries in Africa to enhance project success rates. The research will also investigate the application of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method in prioritizing and selecting risk management strategies based on their importance and effectiveness in complex engineering projects.
