The UNFPA Sri Lanka Annual Report 2025 highlights a year of strategic partnerships, evidence-based action, and impactful interventions to advance sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), gender equality, and resilience across Sri Lanka.

Throughout 2025, UNFPA worked closely with the Government of Sri Lanka, development partners, civil society, the private sector, and communities to strengthen health systems, expand access to quality sexual and reproductive health services, prevent and respond to gender-based violence, empower young people, and support the country's response to demographic change and humanitarian emergencies.

The report showcases key achievements, including support for Sri Lanka's first fully digital Population and Housing Census, the rapid humanitarian response following Cyclone Ditwah, investments in maternal health and family planning services, the expansion of survivor-centred gender-based violence response mechanisms, and initiatives that amplified youth participation in national development.

It also highlights UNFPA's commitment to evidence-informed policymaking through research, national policy development, and strategic dialogue on emerging issues, including demographic transitions, fertility trends, and technology-facilitated gender-based violence.

The report reflects the collective efforts of UNFPA and its partners to ensure that every pregnancy is wanted, every childbirth is safe, and every young person's potential is fulfilled, while advancing a more equitable and resilient future for all in Sri Lanka. UNFPA gratefully acknowledges the support of the Governments of Australia, Canada, Japan, and New Zealand, whose partnership made these achievements possible.
