How statuses work

How statuses work — version lifecycle and the framework status inferred from it
Framework VERSION status (stored: one of three, recorded by the team) pre-development in development endorsed windows triggered validity ended superseded inferred, not stored: each window is marked triggered / not triggered; the version is fully triggered when every window activated (any window if all-in). Superseded = a newer endorsed version exists. The next version starts in development. FRAMEWORK status (inferred from the most recent version) Active most recent version is endorsed, in validity and has not fully triggered (partial triggers of independent windows keep it active) · amber ring = in its monitoring season this month Being updated an endorsed framework whose most recent version fully triggered or reached the end of its validity, or whose next version is already in development — the framework stands, a new version is coming In development no endorsed version yet — the framework is being built for the first time Retired (layer off by default) a manual flag on the framework (country × hazard) — overrides everything above
Map layers.Couches de la carte.Capas del mapa. Current frameworks — every framework whose status is active, being updated or in development (the default view; the headline figures follow whatever is shown).Cadres actuels — tous les cadres actifs, en cours de révision ou en développement (la vue par défaut ; les chiffres clés suivent ce qui est affiché).Marcos actuales — todos los marcos activos, en actualización o en desarrollo (la vista por defecto; las cifras principales siguen lo que se muestra). Non-framework allocations — countries and hazards that received anticipatory-action money without a framework version (light green; a framework that also received non-framework money stays drawn as a framework).Allocations hors cadre — pays et aléas ayant reçu de l’argent pour l’action anticipatoire sans version de cadre (vert clair ; un cadre qui a aussi reçu de l’argent hors cadre reste dessiné comme un cadre).Asignaciones fuera de marco — países y amenazas que recibieron dinero para la acción anticipatoria sin una versión de marco (verde claro; un marco que también recibió dinero fuera de marco se sigue dibujando como marco).

Frameworks and versions

Framework
A framework agrees three things in advance: the trigger model that says when to act, the plan of activities to be carried out, and the pre-arranged financing that is released the moment the trigger is met. One framework covers one country and one hazard.
Version
A framework document, recorded with its status: pre-development, in development or endorsed; superseded is inferred once a newer endorsed version exists. The most recent endorsed version decides the framework's status.
Trigger
The pre-agreed condition, from a forecast or an observation, that activates the framework. A trigger mechanism can hold several specific triggers with their own windows.
Trigger window — readiness, action
For sudden-onset hazards, typically a readiness trigger with a long lead time followed by an action trigger closer to the shock.
Trigger basis — forecast, observed
Whether the triggers use forecast or observed data, or both (windows of both kinds, or one window that combines the two).
Monitoring season
A static amber ring marks a framework in its monitoring season this month.
Return period
How often the framework's latest version would activate (any of its trigger windows, in a year), as the framework document states it, otherwise from its historical simulation.
Historical simulation (backtest)
The current trigger run over past years, to see when it would have activated. Simulated activations are kept apart from real ones.
Technical support
Countries where OCHA supported the framework technically, without a funding commitment, whatever its status.
No specific hazard
Technical support for anticipatory action in general, not for one hazard. No framework and no allocation stand behind it; the Map draws its pin with an open ring.

Statuses

Active
The most recent version is endorsed, still valid and has not fully triggered (a partial trigger of independent windows keeps it active).
Being updated
How it is derived: an endorsed framework whose most recent version fully triggered or reached the end of its validity, or whose next version is already in development — the framework stands, a new version is coming. What it means: a framework that is currently being improved, including based on learning or the need to reconfirm pre-arranged financing.
In development
No endorsed version yet: the framework is being built for the first time.
Retired
Frameworks flagged retired, drawn in grey on the Map so past coverage can be compared with today's. A framework that a distinct new one replaced, rather than revised, counts as retired.
Current frameworks
Every framework whose status is active, being updated or in development.
Activated in the last 30 days
A red ring on the Map marks a framework that activated in the last 30 days.

Activations and allocations

Activation (framework activation)
A trigger of a framework version was met and its pre-arranged money was released.
Non-framework allocation
Countries and hazards that received anticipatory-action money without a framework version. Released money only: nothing is pre-arranged for it.
Two activations a year
Frameworks marked * allow two activations a year: their CERF envelope is counted twice, and the CERF budget per activation is half of it. Country and Regional Fund envelopes count once.

Money

Pre-arranged
The envelope committed to a framework, in place on a date: for every active, being-updated or in-development framework, the envelope of its most recent version that has one. A stock, never added over years.
Released
What went out in a year: the allocations drawn by framework activations, plus the non-framework allocations when that layer is on. A flow, per year. Pre-arranged and released money are never added together.
CERF
The UN Central Emergency Response Fund. CERF money stays pre-arranged until a framework is retired: a framework being updated after an activation keeps its most recent version's CERF envelope.
Country and Regional Funds
OCHA's country-based and regional pooled funds. Their money counts as pre-arranged until an activation draws on it, and from then on it is released money, no longer committed.
CBPF, RHPF
The two kinds of Country and Regional Funds, apart in the Map's fund switch: CBPF, the country-based pooled funds; RHPF, the regional humanitarian pooled funds, through their country windows. OCHA's fund registry says which kind a fund is.
Co-financing
Money from outside the OCHA-managed funds pre-arranged for the framework, as reported for the year. It is not a fund: the fund switch does not apply to it.
Donors
Each donor's share of a fund's income that year, applied to the fund's anticipatory-action money that year — donors give to the pooled funds as a whole, not to anticipatory action.

People

People covered
The latest figure recorded for each current framework — the people its pre-arranged plan covers, not the people reached once it activated. Retired frameworks cover no one now.
People reached or targeted
The people CERF reports reached by the allocations an activation drew on. Where no report has come in yet, the people the allocation planned to reach stand in, and Country and Regional Fund allocations count the people they target: the headline is an estimate.
