10 years of INFORM
2024 marks the 10th year of release of the INFORM Risk Index. INFORM Partners first came together to create an open index for measuring the risk of humanitarian crises globally. Since then, the INFORM Risk Index and other INFORM products have become established and relied upon in the decision-making systems of INFORM Partners and organisations across the multilateral system.
INFORM partners believe that the availability of shared analysis of crises and disasters can lead to better coordination of actors and better outcomes for at-risk and affected people. Specifically, INFORM creates a space and process for shared analysis that can support joint strategy development, planning and action to prevent, prepare for, respond to and recover from crises. This can bring together development, humanitarian and other actors to manage risk and respond better when crises do occur.
This report looks back on how INFORM has developed over that last decade and analyses some trends in crises and crisis risk over that time. It sets out INFORM’s vision for a suite of products to support decision-making that are easy to use and open to everyone. This vision involves bringing scientific rigour to the process of analysing crises and pooling expertise to develop shared methodologies. By working together, we can reduce the investments required by individual organisations, assure the quality of our analysis and make it available for the common good.
