Sri Lanka is experiencing its worst economic crisis since its independence in 1948, with foreign currency reserves at a record low. In April 2022, repayment of foreign debt was suspended and import restrictions were imposed to manage the forex crisis, which exacerbated shortages in fuel, gas, food, and medicine and led to an increase in the cost of living by 30-40%. The aftermath of the crisis has significantly impacted food security as approximately 6.3 million Sri Lankans1 – out of a population of 22 million – are food insecure and are struggling with record-high food price inflation of more than 90%.2 Both energy and food insecurity have exposed the population to social insecurity. In addition, women are disproportionately impacted by this crisis and the women- led micro enterprises and small-hold agriculture initiatives were largely affected by the crisis without any alternative income generation activity offered to them.
