Countries at Risk of Instability
The Prime Minister asked the Strategy Unit to lead a cross-Whitehall
programme team to analyse the challenges raised by countries at risk of
instability (CRI) and recommend how the UK should improve its strategic
response to them.
The programme was sponsored by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and the
Department for International Development. The programme team consulted
widely in the UK and internationally, including with the United Nations,
European Union, and non-governmental organisations.
Strategy and Risk Assessment Manuals
In the course on the project the team developed process manuals for
performing risk assessment and strategic analysis of countries at risk of
instability. The first manual cover the content and tools for analysis
based on the "Instability Framework". The second manual gives a
process timetable and design for carrying out an extensive strategic
process between multiple organisations. These manuals are currently being
used in the UK government and will be periodically updated based on
experience.
