01In brief

The short answer.

Systemic Risk Management country applications are the national parts of its work on risk management and systemic risk, 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.

02Canvas

Scoping to review.

Canvas · scoping to reviewDesign, not a record
Country applications: the policy cycleA problem reaches the agenda, options are formulated and appraised, consultation tests them, the mandate holder decides, implementation and monitoring follow, and evaluation feeds the next agenda. Design of the process, not a record of a run.

03Geography

Hazards and exposure in Asia.

For country applications, in GCRI's spatial-intelligence reading, the map opens on population density, true-colour imagery and night lights with place names and borders from NASA GIBS, framed on Asia; every other NASA layer, live feed and forecast waits in the layer list.

The interactive map needs JavaScript; the layer list and sources are below.

07Key terms

Terms used on this page.

Each term as this page uses it. Where a standard-setting body defines the term, the wording follows that body.

TermDefinition
Country ownershipThe 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 portfolioThe set of programmes, projects and evidence a country maintains in the Nexus network, each with its owner, status and records.
Country systemsA government's own budget, procurement, financial management and reporting systems, used by donors when they deliver through them.
Systemic riskRisk arising from the interactions and dependencies within and between systems, where a shock can propagate and threaten the functioning of the whole.
