Following the widespread humanitarian impact of Cyclone Ditwah, which affected over 1.7 million people across Sri Lanka, the Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) Sub-Cluster convened for an in-person meeting and training session organized by UNFPA Sri Lanka.

FPA Sri Lanka was represented at the meeting by Assistant Managers and UNFPA Focal Points, Ms. Subashini Punchihewa and Mr. Venura Peiris.

During the Partner Experience and Update Sharing Session, the team presented an overview of FPA Sri Lanka’s response efforts to date, highlighting the distribution of 375 Dignity Kits, 200 Maternity Kits, 375 Adolescent Kits, and 50 Transgender Kits, alongside the implementation of five mobile clinics and four community awareness programmes.

The meeting also featured technical refresher sessions on the Minimum Initial Service Package (MISP) and an introduction to the UNFPA PERI Tool. FPA Sri Lanka remains committed to working in close collaboration with the Ministry of Health and the Family Health Bureau to ensure that essential sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) services reach communities most affected by emergencies.
