✅Accreditation Award Ceremony by NDRMF 30th October, 2024 Address by Minister for Planning, Development, and Reform, Prof. Ahsan Iqbal Chaudhary reaffirmed government’s unwavering commitment to addressing #climatechange and natural disasters. He commended NDRMF’s efforts, congratulated all accredited partners passed through rigorous process of qualification and hoped that NDRMF and its partners join hands for resource mobilization on every level, planning and innovation to find new ways and smart resources to face these challenges in Pakistan and will make Pakistan a strong resilient adaptable country to meet future disasters so we can continue our economic journey without much setbacks. Prof. Iqbal noted that despite Pakistan’s contribution of less than 1% to global carbon emissions, it ranks among countries most impacted by climate-induced disasters.He praised effective strategies of Pakistan’s federal and provincial govts, which played crucial role in containing spread of diseases and protecting lives following recent floods. Highlighted the contributions of #federalministries, #provincialauthorities, #disastermanagementagencies, and #internationalorganizations that have been instrumental in building #climateresilience in #Pakistan. Emphasizing the importance of preparedness, he stated that while natural disasters cannot be entirely prevented, their impacts can be significantly mitigated through #robustplanning and #resilientstrategies. Expressing concern over the limited financial support from the global community, Prof. Iqbal pointed out that only $70 million of the pledged $70 billion global fund for climate-affected countries has been released. This shortfall in funding poses challenges for Pakistan and other vulnerable nations to secure essential resources for #climateadaptation and resilience. The Minister outlined Pakistan’s comprehensive DRM Plan, which forms part of a broader economic strategy based on the "Five Es." Reflecting on the progress of countries like India, Bangladesh, Malaysia, and South Korea, Prof. Iqbal highlighted the importance of #politicalstability, policy continuity, commitment, and reforms as essential factors for national growth and resilience. In his concluding remarks, the Minister stressed the need for national unity, asserting that only by working together as #TeamPakistan” can the country effectively face climate challenges and economic pressures. Prof. Ahsan Iqbal encouraged all Pakistanis to contribute equally to the nation’s development and prosperity. #COP29 #Baku #Azerbaijan #ClimateFinance #climatejustice #sustainabledevelopment #climateresilience #accreditedwithNDRMF Bilal Anwar Aisha Moriani Ministry of Planning Development and Special Initiatives Dr. Abid Qaiyum Suleri Asian Development Bank (ADB) GIZ Pakistan Sobiah Becker Climate Forward Pakistan Pakistan Climate Change Authority (PCCA) Climate Cadets UN Climate Change

✅Accreditation Ceremony 30th October, 2024 ✅ Overview of accreditation cycle 2024 and Reflections on #Accreditation Cycle 2024 and way forward was presented by Ms. Sadaf Tahir Deputy Manager, Projects NDRMF ✔NDRMF works with both #public and #nonpublicsectors. For the non-public sector, the accreditation proforma is quite extensive, with 173 sub-criteria forming its basis. Reviewing the documentation of 47 applicants against these 173 sub-criteria demonstrates the depth and detail required in the process. ✔NDRMF ensures that the organizations accredited maintain transparency and accountability. Additionally, organizations that have become part of this network have improved their systems over time. Accreditation process not only helps build capacity but also streamlines their operations. In 2023, NDRMF decided to reassess its processes and revamp accreditation system. ✔By 2024, NDRMF successfully launched a systematic accreditation platform. ✔This updated cycle has allowed to fine-tune and enhance NDRMF's system. NDRMF will open the accreditation cycle every year, with the validity period now set at three years for each accredited organization. ✔NDRMF is also developing #capacitybuilding opportunities, which will be launched soon. The new system is structured around 07 milestones and 14 steps. It now includes additional criteria such as social and #environmentalsafeguards, project management, #DisasterRiskReduction (DRR), all newly integrated into the process. ✔A key focus of NDRMF effort is on improving #riskmitigation plans in collaboration with all participating organizations. For the first time at NDRMF, we have incorporated reflections on our accreditation process, and we plan to continue this practice. We’ve also introduced a provision for reconsideration—if an organization provides a solid justification, we may review their request for accreditation. ✔We aim to improve our accreditation process further, and this is our way forward. I would like to share that we are working on a portfolio of #projects worth 57.84 billion, providing capacity building and support for organizations whose concept notes are shortlisted. This is how we plan to proceed. #COP29 #Baku #Azerbaijan #ClimateFinance #climatejustice #sustainabledevelopment #climateresilience #accreditedwithNDRMF Ahsan Iqbal Chaudhary Bilal Anwar Aisha Moriani Ministry of Planning Development and Special Initiatives Dr. Abid Qaiyum Suleri shabnam baloch Nusrat Nasab Asian Development Bank (ADB) GIZ Pakistan Sobiah Becker Climate Forward Pakistan Pakistan Climate Change Authority (PCCA) Climate Cadets UN Climate Change Action Against Hunger (ACF) - Pakistan Mission Aga Khan Agency for Habitat Pakistan (AKAHP) Aga Khan Foundation (AKF) Aga Khan Rural Support Programme (AKRSP) Balochistan Rural Support Programme (BRSP) Islamic Relief Pakistan Islamic Relief Pakistan

Mr Irshad Abbasi, Program Advisor Rural Development, Civil Society and Habitat, Aga Khan Foundation We worked across 7 districts in Gilgit-Baltistan, covering 32 union councils and 89 highly vulnerable villages. Formation of community committees, constructed 27,000 running feet of roads, retrofitted schools,helped introduce #earlywarningsystems to enhance disaster preparedness. Initially approval process was complex, with challenges like creating project digests, meeting a 12% Economic Internal Rate of Return (EIR), resolving land entitlement issues, and securing government NOCs. Over time, support processes improved, streamlining procedures for implementing partners. 4. Ms. Nusrat Nasab, CEO Aga Khan Agency for Habitat Pakistan (AKAHP) Uniqueness of partnership lies in focus on mountain safety.
