Power & Risk Mapping (PRM) Light
We rapidly map power structures and risks in fragile contexts, delivering clear insights on who holds influence, what scenarios may unfold, and how to act with foresight.
From checklists to foresight
PRM Light is a rapid country-context assessment tool
It helps donors, INGOs, and local actors identify power holders, analyze governance risks, and anticipate scenarios before committing resources. Unlike traditional due diligence, PRM Light focuses on context — who shapes decisions, what risks are emerging, and where opportunities for engagement lie.
