Overview
INFORM’s Global Risk Index is used by donors, multilateral organizations and others to support decision-making and resource allocation. INFORM’s Subnational Risk models are used at a regional and national level to support humanitarian and development planning and preparedness. INFORM is developing a new model of crisis severity to support decisions on the response. INFORM’s shared, open products provide a common analysis for all partners to work from, increasing the effectiveness and coordination of our joint work to prevent, prepare for and respond to crises.
Process
The INFORM Global Risk Index is essentially a risk profile for every country, which can help you compare risks between countries and understand the most important drivers of risks in each country. This is updated twice a year by the global INFORM initiative.
An INFORM Subnational risk model is a detailed picture of risk covering a single country or region and allows you to compare risks across that country or region. It can be used to support humanitarian and development planning processes. An INFORM Subnational model is a locally owned process (OCHA, RC Office, other agency or network), which is supported by the global INFORM initiative.
