Narrative description of Project:
The Government of Pakistan in collaboration with Asian Development Bank (ADB) and other donors has created the National Disaster Risk Management Fund (NDRMF) to address key issues in Disaster Risk Management, Resilience Building and Disaster Risk Financing. The objective is to reduce the socio-economic and fiscal vulnerability of the country and its population to natural hazards and climate change, through financing investments in disaster risk reduction and preparedness that have high economic impacts. The Fund aimed to conduct baseline and stakeholder perception survey to understand the thinking and capacity of the stakeholder groups about disaster risk reduction. It will help in programmatic alignment with stakeholders needs and serve as a baseline for NDRMF’s communication and stakeholder engagement plan.
