Welcoming Yong Ye, Country Director (ADB) and Bilal Anwer, CEO (NDRMF). This episode discusses how disaster management in Pakistan evolved from reactive measures to a proactive approach. Initially, disaster responses were limited to immediate actions after an event. However, a pivotal moment occurred when the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the Government of Pakistan recognized the importance of proactive disaster risk reduction. With technical and financial support from ADB and an active response from the government, this collaboration led to the establishment of the National Disaster Management Fund. This initiative represents a significant step toward institutionalizing disaster reduction as a science in Pakistan.
