Chairman Messagewww.ndma.gov.pkChairman MessageYear 2011 is aptly characterized as the year of transitionfrom conventional Disaster Risk Management (DRM)concepts and approaches to world class, cutting edge(DRM) interventions both at policy and operational levelsin Pakistan. During the course of 2011, the NDMA wasconfronted with a major challenge to deliver on real timebasis and roll out most of the Disaster Risk Reduction(DRR) related institutional development and policyinitiatives embarked upon in 2010. While the organizationwas fully engrossed in implementation of early recoveryprogramme to manage the aftermaths of 2010 floods, thecountry was severely hit by the torrential rains of 2011resulting in unprecedented floods in two provinces of the country, which called for immediateinterventions of NDMA towards rescue and relief. This was high time, as the NDMA wasspearheading a number of new institutional dynamics and policy imperatives concerningDRM in tandem. The 2011 floods exacerbated the humanitarian emergency of 2010 floodsand precipitated in increasing demand on the NDMA's limited capacity to respond both at thelevel of headquarters, as well as in the field. A thorough analysis of the situation compelled meto adopt a multi-pronged strategy to manage the colossal aftermaths of two consecutivecatastrophes resulting in massive human and property losses and to galvanize theorganizational capacity to respond in a coordinated manner. Adoption of an institutionalizedapproach with bottom-up planning process, rigorous consultations with a broad range ofstakeholders, and external resource mobilization were cornerstone of institutional strategy ofNDMA. Though the Provinces and Regions were primarily focused considering the 18thconstitutional amendment yet pre-monsoon, mitigation and preparedness measuresremained topmost priority to tackle. To ensure effective coordination and stakeholderownership in the process, a team of DRM experts commissioned whirlwind pre monsoonvisits to Provincial/ Regional DMAs besides engaging them in consultations with politicalleadership, civil and military bureaucracy, national and international NGOs and civil societyorganizations. This served the basis for a well orchestrated mitigation and response strategy tomanage any possible disaster situation.In organizational context, significant progress was achieved in articulating policy formulation,harnessing political ownership and mainstreaming DRM into development. In addition,DRM needs assessment was carried out in collaboration with external and internal partners,while the agenda of organizational change, process and institutional capacity building ofNDMA was followed in true letter and spirit.
