The Global Centre for Risk and Innovation (GCRI)
Country work of Critical Infrastructure, linked to national programmes and the national source register. Country pages show only work that a programme record supports.

Critical Infrastructure country applications are the national parts of its work on critical infrastructure, each linked to a national programme and the national source register. A country page shows only work that a programme record supports, and the national institutions own the question, the data and the decision.
For country applications, in GCRI's spatial-intelligence reading, the map opens on night lights, population density and true-colour imagery, framed on Western Europe; 3 further NASA layers wait in the list.
The interactive map needs JavaScript; the layer list and sources are below.

| Instrument | Usually held by | Evidence it needs |
|---|---|---|
| Critical entity designation and resilience plans | Sector regulators | Risk assessments, dependency maps |
| Cybersecurity duties for essential entities | Cybersecurity authorities | Incident reporting, controls |
| Asset management plans | Operators and regulators | Condition, criticality, investment |
| Lifeline restoration plans | Emergency management | Restoration sequence and dependencies |
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 |
|---|---|
| Country ownership | The principle that a country leads its own development policies and strategies and coordinates the actions that support them, set out in the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness. |
| National portfolio | The set of programmes, projects and evidence a country maintains in the Nexus network, each with its owner, status and records. |
| Country systems | A government's own budget, procurement, financial management and reporting systems, used by donors when they deliver through them. |
| Interdependency | A two-way dependency between infrastructures, such as power needing telecoms for control while telecoms need power to run. |
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.
