GPR Data Hub
Partnerships & collaboration

Let’s build the world’s risk picture together.

The GPR Data Hub measures geopolitical risk where the standard indices go quiet — the Arab world, Africa, and the global South. If your institution works on risk, stability, or development, there is a natural collaboration here. Below is how we can work together, and what each side gains.

Who we work with

Nine kinds of partner, one shared interest

Each of these institutions needs a granular, region-native picture of geopolitical risk. Here is what a collaboration would explore, and what it brings you.

Central banks & monetary authorities

Bank Al-Maghrib · SAMA · Central Bank of Egypt · SARB · ECB · BIS

A region-tailored geopolitical-risk series for inflation, capital-flow and financial-stability monitoring — with joint research and data validation in return.

International financial institutions

IMF · World Bank · AfDB · IsDB · IDB · OECD · EBRD

Granular regional inputs for surveillance and country-risk work, with the potential to integrate the indices into flagship reports and dashboards.

Universities & researchers

The Fed GPR team · PRIO / UCDP · ACLED · economics & political-economy faculties

Co-authored papers, replication data, joint grant applications, and methodological peer review that sharpens the measure.

Research networks & think tanks

A shared risk-monitoring tool across member states, plus capacity-building partnerships and region-wide dissemination.
