SAS helps The Fund for Peace reduce effects of conflicts through resilience insights
CARY, N.C., Dec. 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- With more than 100 million people displaced due to conflict and violence and an estimated 313.5 million people needing humanitarian assistance and protection, finding solutions to help reduce violent conflict and country fragility is critical. Analytics leader SAS is working with The Fund for Peace (FFP) to identify areas of opportunity for a country to improve preparedness in response to certain crisis and shock scenarios with a new Crisis Sensitivity Simulator tool. With this insight, policymakers can identify opportunities to increase countries' resiliency so they can lessen the intensity and effects of a potential crisis and recover more quickly.
- With the Crisis Sensitivity Simulator, SAS helps FFP analyze a country's sensitivity to varying degrees of shock based on its capacities (SRI) and pressures (FSI).
- SAS takes the data and uses risk models to determine which crisis combinations will be the most destabilizing for each country, through various potential scenarios.
- For over 60 years, The Fund for Peace (FFP) has been a world leader in developing practical tools and approaches for reducing conflict.
