Sumario:This Policy Research Brief provides a review of the social protection interventions adopted by the Government of Sri Lanka since March 2020 in response to the lives and livelihoods lost as a result of COVID-19.

The brief calls for continued assessment of experiences and policy lessons learned from the government response to the pandemic.
