According to official documents available with Wealth Pakistan, the initiative forms part of a broader plan to develop a shock-responsive social protection framework that can respond swiftly to emergencies caused by floods and other natural disasters. The project seeks to strengthen Pakistan’s disaster management system by ensuring timely cash transfers to vulnerable households when calamities strike. Under the proposed mechanism, functionalities of the NatCat model will be fully aligned with BISP’s payment system to enable real-time cash disbursements. BISP Chairperson Senator Rubina Khalid, while speaking to Wealth Pakistan, underlined the importance of institutional preparedness for disaster response. “I recommend constituting a technical group that brings together all stakeholders, including BISP, the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), Provincial Disaster Management Authorities (PDMAs), the Ministry of Climate Change, and the Meteorological Department.
