It is located at the crossroads of South Asia, Central Asia and the Middle East, sharing borders with India, Afghanistan, Iran and China, and has a coastline along the Arabian Sea. Geographically, Pakistan is highly diverse, ranging from the mountainous north (home to some of the world’s highest peaks) to fertile plains, deserts and a long coastline. The country is highly vulnerable to natural disasters and climate change, ranking among the top 10 countries most affected by extreme weather events. The Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce & Industry (FPCCI) joined CBI in 2026, establishing a structured channel for private sector participation in humanitarian preparedness, response, recovery, and resilience. As a CBI Member Network, FPCCI will map private sector resources, expertise and support capacities in the country, and establish national and provincial coordination platforms. With preparedness as another area of focus, FPCCI and OCHA will organize orientation sessions and simulation sessions. One goal is to develop 72-hour business activation protocols to improve crisis resilience. ## Network at a glance Host organization Apex/federal statutory trade body (Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce & Industry, established 1950) Headquarters Karachi, Pakistan (also maintains offices in Islamabad, Lahore, Peshawar, and Quetta) Number of members 305 trade bodies (79 Chambers of Commerce & Industry, 30 Women's Chambers, 19 Chambers of Small Traders, 2 Associations of Small Traders, 6 Joint Chambers, 169 All-Pakistan Associations) Scale / Business reach National Contact person Qurtaulain Ul Ain Contact email info@fpcci.org.pk Areas of focus Drought, Earthquake, Extreme temperature, Flood, Tropical cyclone ## Most recent emergencies ## **Latest from Pakistan**
