    Great to meet Rasika & Renuka who, through @WFPSriLanka, have a guaranteed market for their produce & a stable income – while children get fresh, nutritious meals every day. Island-wide, more than 260,000 school children benefit from the programme.

    There are lands that fall silent. Fields abandoned. Canals that stop flowing. And there are communities that refuse to let that silence win. We stand in solidarity with them. See how we work with @UNDPSriLanka @theGEF @GEF_SGP #ForPeopleForPlanet: ow.ly/NcOw50ZiuPV

    Grateful spend time w members of the Veddah community, one of the oldest continuous cultures on the island. The right of indigenous peoples to land, identity & equitable access to public services is protected by #UNDRIP & must translate into real protections for the Veddah.

    For close to 2,500 years, Sri Lanka’s intricate tank cascade system has helped generations of farmers cultivate their fields during periods of drought. But to maintain its overall functionality, these ancient structures require regular upkeep. That’s where @IFAD comes in 👇

    Met Malaiyaha Tamil community in Rathnapura who cultivated land for generations. Despite contributions to economy, many still live in cramped line housing with limited access to water, sanitation & services. More needs to be done to uphold their rights. @HRCSriLanka
