The Global Risks Forum (GRF)
How Policy Nexus organizes work into programmes: global priorities, regional applications and country work, each shown with its actual status.

Policy Nexus programmes organize its work on policy, governance and institutions, and risk management and systemic risk at three levels: global priorities, regional applications and country work. Each programme shows its recorded status, from exploring and forming to active, paused or archived, and a plan is never presented as an activity. Countries take part through their national programmes and the Consortium Secretariat.
For programmes and projects, in GRF's situational-awareness reading, the map opens on population density, night lights and flood water, framed on Africa; every other NASA layer, live feed and forecast waits in the layer list.

Layers and dates
| Line | Example question |
|---|---|
| Risk-informed policy | How should a national budget account for contingent disaster liabilities? |
| Climate and adaptation policy | How should a national adaptation plan be aligned with the Global Goal on Adaptation indicators? |
| Cross-border policy | How can neighbouring states align building codes or alert standards? |
| Implementation learning | Why did a well-designed policy fail in delivery? |
A programme is shown as exploring, forming, constituted, active, paused or archived, according to its record. A plan is never presented as an activity.
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. |
| Programme status | The recorded state of a programme on Nexus pages: exploring, forming, constituted, active, paused or archived. A plan is never presented as an activity. |
| 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. |
| Regulatory impact assessment | A systematic assessment of the expected benefits, costs and effects of a proposed rule before it is adopted. |

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.
