INDEX FOR RISK MANAGEMENT
RESULTS 2016
-
Welcome to the INFORM (Index for Risk Management) 2016 global results report. INFORM is a way to understand and measure the risk of humanitarian crises and disasters, and how the conditions that lead to them affect sustainable development.
This is the second annual report of INFORM. Since last year, we have made some changes to the INFORM methodology. We have improved the way that conflict risk is measured and the model now includes new probabilistic assessments of most natural hazards.
We have also changed the way countries are categorised. Previous versions of INFORM simply placed an equal number of countries into four risk categories (very high, high, medium and low). Now, we use a technique called cluster analysis to place countries into categories based on their mutual similarities and we have added a fifth risk category (very low). These changes also apply at the dimension and category level and will help us track risk better from year to year.
Any changes in the INFORM methodology are always applied to at least five previous years of data, so trend analysis is still valid. In this way we can continue to improve the model, while maintaining continuity. You can find more details about these changes in the User Guide and Methodology documents, which are available on the INFORM website.
During 2015, we made significant progress in applying the INFORM methodology at subnational scale. This has involved working with partners to develop INFORM models tailored to specific regions and countries. From 2016, we will be supporting local lead organisations and their partners to develop INFORM Subnational models and validate them to global standards. Some examples of the models are shown in this report and you can find new guidance about the process on the INFORM website.

INFORM is the rst global, objective and transparent tool for understanding the risk of humanitarian crises and disasters. It can help identify where and why a crisis might occur, which means we can reduce the risk, build peoples resilience and prepare better for when crises do happen.
Available for 191 countries
Free and open to all
Based on the best methods and regularly updated
You can use INFORM to.Prioritise countries by risk, or any of its components
Decide how best to reduce risk
Monitor risk trends
...for your organisation or region and the same methodology can be used for national and regional risk assessment.
INFORM simplies a lot of information about risk. It uses 50 different indicators to measure hazards and peoples exposure to them, vulnerability, and the resources available to help people cope.
INFORM creates a risk prole for every country. Each has a rating between 0 and 10 for risk and all of its components, so its easy to compare.

RISK OF HUMANITARIAN CRISES AND DISASTERSINFORM 2016 RISK INDEX
The overall INFORM risk index identifies countries at risk from humanitarian crises and disasters that could overwhelm national response capacity. It is made up of three dimensions hazards and exposure, vulnerability and lack of coping capacity. This map shows details for the 12 countries with the highest overall risk.

PRIORITISING USING RISK LEVEL AND TRENDS
INFORM can be used to group countries based on their current level of risk and the trend over previous years. For example, large increases in countries already with high levels of risk could be used to prioritise them for increased crisis and disaster prevention, preparedness and response.
The risk trend categories shown are determined by the risk level (very high, high, medium, low, very low) and the three year trend in INFORM (2014-2016).
Risk is considered to be increasing if the 2016 value is 0.3 or more higher than the 2014 value.
Risk is considered to be decreasing if it is 0.3 or more lower.

Note: INFORM trends are not proportional to the level of risk in a country. Therefore, the increases and decreases are more likely to occur in high-risk countries. We hope to introduce proportional trends in coming years. INFORM trends may not reflect the most recent (

One of the purposes of INFORM is to improve the evidence for making decisions about allocating resources for crisis and disaster prevention and preparedness, as well as investments in sustainable development.
Understanding how resource allocation aligns with risk is complex, given the lack of useful data and difficulty in making meaningful comparisons. This chart shows how allocations of international humanitarian and development finance compare to risk levels, according to INFORM. While
humanitarian financing is quite well aligned with risk by this measure, development finance is less so. Some countries with high levels of risk are not among the highest recipients of either humanitarian or development assistance.
We hope to be able to improve the sophistication of this type of analysis in future years using a longer time series of INFORM data. This will help us understand the accuracy of INFORM better, as well as the relation of financing and risk.

Greater Horn of Africa regionThe INFORM Greater Horn of Africa model is part of an initiative of Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) and OCHA to improve IGADs ability to analyse, visualise and disseminate information to support the prevention, preparedness and response to humanitarian crises in the region. The model will be updated regularly to support regional coordination and prioritise humanitarian, development, risk management and resilience investments.
INFORM SUBNATIONAL
During 2015, the INFORM methodology and process was used to develop individual risk models for Colombia, Lebanon, the Sahel and the Greater Horn of Africa. These have the same features and benefits as the global model, but are subnational in scale and are tailored to each country or region. Examples of this work are shown below.
From 2016, INFORM will support the implementation of more Subnational models in other countries or regions. Developing an INFORM Subnational model is a locally owned and managed, cost-effective process that is supported by the global INFORM initiative. This ensures that each model has local buy-in and is adapted to local risks and uses, but draws on global resources and expertise and is validated according to global standards.
Further information and guidance on developing INFORM Subnational models is now available on the INFORM website.
ColombiaThe development of the INFORM Colombia model was initiated by OCHA and UNICEF. It is a municipal-level risk index, which identifies threats, vulnerabilities and response capacities throughout the country. The results have been used in the Humanitarian Needs Overview 2016 and by UNICEF planners and donors. The model includes specific components to evaluate risk levels for children and adolescents. Partners are now investigating if the model can be extended to cover additional countries in the region.
