The Crisis Preparedness Gap Analysis (CPGA) is a key diagnostic, which assesses countries’ capacity to deal with crises across core systems and provides priority recommendations. By identifying priority interventions and entry points, the CPGA can be useful in providing a framework to access opportunities under the Crisis Preparedness and Response Toolkit. The CPGA provides entry points across five core components essential to crisis preparedness: Legal and Institutional Foundations; Understanding and Monitoring Risks; Financial Preparedness; Primary Response; and Social and Livelihood Support.

The CPGA is designed to identify crisis preparedness gaps at the national level and provide a high-level overview to inform strategic programming. While the analysis has attempted to capture subnational nuances, limitations may exist due to the devolvement of service delivery functions to the provincial level in Pakistan, as well as variations in crisis preparedness at the subnational level. Subnational level assessments may be considered as follow on activities to inform strategic dialogue at the provincial level. This briefing note presents summary findings from the CPGA in Pakistan.
