FERDI has long advocated for the use of a vulnerability index in the allocation criteria of multilateral donors, and hopes to contribute to the renewal of the debate with its work on multidimensional vulnerability.

It is developing indices covering structural economic vulnerability, physical vulnerability to climate change, and vulnerability to internal violence.

ACHIEVEMENTS 2021-2022

Recent initiatives such as the Commonwealth Secretariat's Universal Vulnerability Index and the United Nations' Multidimensional Vulnerability Index build on FERDI's work on vulnerability indicators.
