Operational Partnerships
WFP's emergency response operation was coordinated by the United Nations (UN) Country Team, led by the UN
Resident Coordinator, to ensure alignment with other UN actors. WFP worked closely with other partners, and with
the Government of Sri Lanka for the overall coordination of the emergency response.
A Letter of Understanding (LoU) was signed with the Department of Treasury Operations under the Ministry of
Finance on behalf of the Government of Sri Lanka. Following internal project approval delays resulting from late
funding confirmations, the LoU was signed in the first week of July. The WFP-supported response was coordinated
by the Ministry of National Policies and Economic Affairs, WFP’s official line ministry, in close collaboration with the
Ministry of Disaster Management, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Social Empowerment and Welfare, Ministry of
Public Administration and Home Affairs, National Disaster Relief Services Center, National Disaster Management
Center, District Secretaries, Divisional Secretariats, community, UN agencies, and non-governmental organizations
(NGOs) to ensure a coordinated approach to implementing the emergency response. Close coordination with
Government was facilitated through meetings with the relevant actors at the national and district levels as well
as through workshops.
The rapid needs assessment was jointly carried out by the Ministry of Disaster Management with technical
assistance from WFP. A key informant questionnaire and focus group discussion guide were developed in
