• Identifying the sources of conflict. FERDI's work measures the frequency of violent events, and seeks to identify the factors that determine them. In 2019, FERDI created an Internal Violence Index (IVI). The IVI aims to compare the level of internal violence for 130 developing countries. It is a composite indicator of 9 variables grouped into 4 dimensions - internal conflict, crime, terrorism, and political violence.
• Identifying risks and preventing conflicts. A conflict risk indicator was developed during 2019 and finalized in 2020 by FERDI (Sosso Feidounou and Laurent Wagner) in collaboration with the Foundation Prospective & Innovation. This indicator is accompanied by an analysis of conflict factors and means of prevention. Feindouno S., Wagner L. (2020). The determinants of internal conflict in the world: How to estimate the risks and better target prevention efforts? Ferdi, Fondation Prospective et Innovation (FPI), September 2020, 102 p.
