Complex Risk Analytics Fund (CRAF'd)

The Complex Risk Analytics Fund, short CRAF’d, is new multilateral financing instrument to foster an open data ecosystem that supports all stakeholders in crisis anticipation, prevention and response. Inspired by the Secretary-General’s Data Strategy, CRAF'd is the result of a joint design process championed by Germany, the Netherlands, the United States, and the United Nations family, as well as other partners across the globe. With sustainable and scalable financing, CRAF'd will foster an ecosystem that expands shared capabilities for unlocking more power from data for insight, impact, and integrity in crisis action. Administered by the UN Multi-Partner Trust Fund Office, CRAF'd fully operational in early 2022. The fund's acronym CRAF'd (pronounce k-r-a-a-f-t) signifies the shared commitment to invest in excellence in the use of data for the common good.
