As a low-income country, Pakistan is particularly vulnerable to various natural and human-induced disasters, which have significant consequences for both the environment human life. A substantial share of provincial budget allocated disaster response recovery efforts. Prioritizing investment in risk reduction (DRR) essential protect lives assets. Although there complex relationship between investments made before after disasters their effectiveness DRR, this dynamic remains insufficiently understood Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) province. The current study was designed analyze developmental budgeting DRR financial years 2000–2022 KP Sen’s Slope Estimator modified Mann-Kendall tests were used determine significance trend, while correlation coefficient test find disaster-induced damages such as deaths, injuries houses damaged. findings reveal that occurrence influences post-disaster spending province, with negative expenditure disaster-related damages, implying increased has significantly reduced disasters. To minimize vulnerability future province should integrate risk-sensitive planning across all sectoral departments at local, district, levels, guided by risk-informed development approach. This proactive strategy would embed resilience within activities, ensuring each sector aligns principles sustainable growth.
