Disaster Management QUESTION #6519
Question 1
What is the primary limitation of ex-post disaster risk financing compared to ex-ante mechanisms?
  • Ex-post financing is more expensive
  • Ex-post financing delays recovery and diverts development funds✔️
  • Ex-post financing requires international approval
  • Ex-post financing only covers infrastructure damage
Correct Answer Explanation
Section 9 explicitly states that Pakistan's historical reliance on ex-post instruments (budget reallocation, credit access) has overshadowed sustainable solutions. Ex-post financing creates fiscal strain, delays response, and diverts resources from development priorities, whereas ex-ante instruments (insurance, contingency funds) provide immediate, predictable funding.
