ISLAMABAD, Apr 06 (APP):The National Disaster Risk Management Fund (NDRMF) has appointed Amir Goraya as its new Chief Executive Officer (CEO), signaling a renewed focus on strengthening Pakistan’s disaster and climate resilience framework through sustained leadership and institutional continuity.
Goraya brings extensive experience in governance, public sector reform, and the management of large-scale development programmes. Known for his work in institutional strengthening and strategic leadership, he is expected to steer NDRMF into its next phase of growth, innovation, and impact, said a press release issued on Monday.
Welcoming the appointment, the Board of Directors expressed confidence that under his leadership, NDRMF will further consolidate its role as a leading national platform for disaster risk management and climate resilience. The transition comes at a critical time as the Fund continues to expand its contribution to risk-informed development across Pakistan.
As CEO, Goraya is expected to focus on strengthening NDRMF’s implementation capacity, improving operational efficiency, and deepening engagement with key stakeholders, including federal and provincial governments, development partners, academia, and the private sector.
He will also lead efforts to advance innovative disaster risk financing solutions and further strengthen the Fund’s architecture. A key priority will be the scaling of financing instruments such as the Solidarity Fund, aimed at enhancing Pakistan’s financial preparedness and response to climate and disaster risks.
The Board reaffirmed its commitment to supporting the new leadership in ensuring continuity, stability, and sustained progress. With this transition, NDRMF remains firmly committed to its mandate of building a safer, more resilient, and climate-adaptive Pakistan.
