Description: This composite chart displays countries’ risk governance capacities and their relative wealth by World Bank income regions. Approximately 90 percent of the countries with the strongest capacities are high-income countries. In contrast, low- and lower-middle income countries account for more than 95 percent of the quintile with the lowest capacities. These rankings derive from an analysis of indicators of the disaster risk drivers identified in GAR09: poverty, weak urban and local
governance, ecosystem degradation, and government effectiveness and accountability. Each quintile is then subdivided based on the number of countries per World Bank category within it.
