The Global Centre for Risk and Innovation (GCRI)
Priorities of Critical Infrastructure shared across countries, and the methods used to compare them. A global programme is a shared agenda, not a claim of global offices.

The Critical Infrastructure global programme is the shared agenda of priorities in the critical infrastructure field that cut across countries, such as electricity and lifelines and transport and mobility, with the methods used to compare them. It is an agenda, not a claim of global offices, and each element shows its status from the programme record.

For global subject programme, in GCRI's spatial-intelligence reading, the map opens on night lights, true-colour imagery and population density with true colour from NASA GIBS, framed on Western Europe; 3 further NASA layers wait in the list.

Programmes are listed as exploring, forming, constituted, active, paused or archived. Country and regional entries appear when a programme record supports them.
Each term as this page uses it. Where a standard-setting body defines the term, the wording follows that body.
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Programme | A group of related projects and activities managed together to obtain benefits that managing them separately would not, in the sense the Project Management Institute's programme standard uses. |
| Results-based management | A management approach in which everyone contributing to a set of results makes sure their processes, products and services serve those results, and measures progress against them, as the UN Development Group handbook sets out. |
| Theory of change | A stated chain of causes from a programme's activities to its intended outcomes, used to plan evaluation. |
| Lifeline | An infrastructure system, such as power, water or telecommunications, whose service other systems and people need continuously. |
The bodies and documents this page is read against. Status and editions change; each link goes to the issuing body.
The current service level is R0: information and enquiries. An enquiry receives a reference and names the next step; applications, payments, compute allocations and registrations open only when their team, terms and review capacity exist.
