| Contesto | Pakistan is one of the most vulnerable countries worldwide to natural hazards and has faced major disasters in the recent past including earthquakes floods, droughts and glacial lake outburst floods These disasters incur a high cost of recovery rehabilitation and reconstruction and have significant financial implica-tions for the country and highlight the country's inadequate financing and risk management capacity including financing mechanisms and risk transfer solutions such as insurance. Due to the lack of an insurance culture and market, the overall insurance penetration has remained less than 1% over the last few years which is one of the lowest levels of penetration in the region. SDC's Disaster Risk Financing Expert will support the DRF activities of the National Disaster Risk Management Fund, to which SDC is also financially contributing with 1.5 Mio CHF through the Asian Development Bank ADB. |
