The Ministry of Disaster Management (MoDM) and District and Divisional Secretariats led the extensive rescue and relief operations with the support of the Sri Lankan Army, Navy and Air Force, media, civil society organisations, private sector and indi- viduals.

A Post-Disaster Needs Assessment (PDNA) was carried out as the emergency/relief phase ended. The PDNA was conducted under the overall leadership of the Ministry of Disaster Management and the Ministry of National Policies and Economic Affairs. The line ministries undertook the -as sessment supported by national experts and a team of young graduates, coordinated by the Uni- versity of Colombo.

As soon as the PDNA was concluded and the main needs identified, a recovery planning process was initiated in September. The resultant recovery plan was prepared with the involvement of all line ministries, departments, units, and supporting agents. Our sincere thanks to all those who contributed to this recovery plan as well as to the United Nations and the World Bank for their overall guidance.

The key objective of the Post-Disaster Recovery Plan PDRP( ) is to restore and reconstruct damaged social, infrastructure, and productive sectors, meeting disaster resilient standards, principles of environmental sustainability and gender/social inclusion. In that sense, the document covers nine sectors and three cross-cutting areas and looks at the overall impact of the disaster. As a core section of the recovery plan, the document presents the institutional and implementation arrangements to be used for putting all strategies into action, as well as the main objectives, principles and prioritization criteria in order to conduct the recovery process. The Plan considers the available resources and budgets for 2017 for the next three years and identifies the unmet budget. Finally, clear monitoring and information management procedures are proposed to follow up the intervention and ensure that the outputs and outcomes are achieved.

The overall outcome we are aiming for is a safer Sri Lanka, where the lives of the Sri Lankan people are better protected from extreme events. In order to ensure this outcome, we envisage continuous and inclusive consultations with the concerned urban and rural communities, particularly vulnerable groups, throughout the recovery process. We look forward to working with all stakeholders in the implementation of the recovery programmes proposed in this recovery plan towards a resilient Sri Lanka.
