The National Disaster Risk Management Fund (NDRMF) marks an important leadership transition, reflecting both continuity of vision and a renewed commitment to advancing resilience and sustainable development in Pakistan.

NDRMF acknowledges with deep appreciation the contributions of outgoing Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Bilal Anwar, whose tenure significantly strengthened the institution’s strategic direction and operational foundation. Under his leadership, NDRMF evolved into a more structured and forward-looking organization, delivering a portfolio exceeding PKR 63 billion and generating large-scale resilience impact across Pakistan.
Key milestones include the establishment of the NatCat Data Centre, advancement of disaster risk financing initiatives, and strengthening of the Fund’s architecture for more efficient and transparent resource deployment. He also led the conceptualization of the Solidarity Fund, positioning NDRMF at the forefront of innovative disaster risk financing. His tenure further advanced knowledge products, capacity-building programmes, and institutional partnerships, reinforcing NDRMF’s role as a credible national platform for resilience and climate action.

Building on this strong foundation, NDRMF warmly welcomes the incoming Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Amir Khan Goraya. With a distinguished track record in governance, institutional reform, and management of large-scale development programmes, he is well-positioned to lead NDRMF into its next phase of growth and transformation. His leadership is expected to further scale the institution’s impact, enhance implementation effectiveness, and strengthen both institutional and financial frameworks, including the continued evolution of NDRMF’s fund architecture.
He is anticipated to play a pivotal role in deepening engagement with key stakeholders across government, development partners, academia, and the private sector, while fostering innovation in disaster risk financing. His leadership will be instrumental in advancing innovative financial solutions, including the operationalization of the Solidarity Fund, and in further aligning NDRMF’s work with national priorities on climate resilience, sustainable development, and risk-informed growth.

As NDRMF enters this new phase, it remains committed to continuity, strengthened impact, and delivering innovative solutions to enhance national resilience.
