Governments and public institutions
National governments, sector ministries, regulators, subnational authorities and statutory agencies can work with The Global Centre for Risk and Innovation (GCRI) on questions of national interest: systemic risk, critical infrastructure, technology adoption, resilience and the evidence behind public decisions. Cooperation is scoped to the institution's mandate, uses openly described technical methods and keeps national ownership of agenda, data and decisions. It never depends on buying a membership tier. This page is part of Work with GCRI.

The short answer.
Governments and public institutions work with GCRI on questions of national interest, such as systemic risk, critical infrastructure, technology adoption, resilience and the evidence behind public decisions. Cooperation is scoped to the institution's mandate, uses openly described technical methods and keeps national decisions with the national authority; it creates no treaty, endorsement or obligation.

Start from your mandate.
| Institution | First step | First outcome |
|---|---|---|
| National governments and central agencies | Request a country-scoping dialogue | A scoping note, an authority map, a first-quarter baseline plan and a decision on whether to proceed |
| Sector ministries, regulators and statutory agencies | Discuss a mandate-specific technical programme | A domain work brief, evidence requirements and agreed review and receiver responsibilities |
| Subnational governments and cities | Propose a place-based resilience programme | A place-specific scope, a service-dependency map and a community engagement plan |
| Statistics, hydrometeorological and geological agencies | Agree a source and methods interface | A versioned source agreement, schema mapping and refresh and correction protocol |
National interest, technical methods, scoped cooperation.
National decisions stay national
National programmes keep their own agenda, data and decision rights, and may decline participation or data sharing.
Open technical methods
Methods are published and reviewed, as described under science and methods.
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.
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Competent authority | The body that a law or regulation designates to exercise a given power or duty, such as a supervisor, a civil protection agency or a ministry; only it can take the decisions the law assigns to it. |
| 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. |
| Technical assistance | Non-financial support such as expertise, training, advice on methods and help with institutional systems, provided at the request of the institution that owns the work. |
What cooperation does not create.
- Regulator participation confers no regulatory approval or privileged access
- A city relationship never becomes national representation
- Original source authority is retained; Nexus estimates stay labelled as estimates
- Agencies use their own authorized instruments
GCRI does not regulate, certify, license or approve. National programme formation is described under country programme enquiry. The current service level is R0, information and enquiries: an enquiry receives a reference, and the acknowledgement names the next step.
