Post-Disaster Needs Assessment (PDNA) Report: Cyclone Ditwah, Sri Lanka 2025
This is a comprehensive assessment that will guide Sri Lanka's recovery and reconstruction efforts following one of the most devastating disasters in its recent history. Developed under the Government-led "Rebuilding Sri Lanka" Presidential Task Force, the PDNA Report provides a comprehensive analysis of damages, losses, and recovery needs across 22 severely affected districts. The assessment establishes a robust evidence base to support recovery planning, prioritization of interventions, and resource mobilization for resilient reconstruction.
The publication of the PDNA Report also supports the Government's broader national recovery programme, "Rebuilding Sri Lanka," a comprehensive initiative designed to coordinate recovery, reconstruction, and resilience-building efforts in the aftermath of Cyclone Ditwah.
