A presentation and discussion of LIRNEasia research from Sri Lanka, India, Bangladesh
LIRNEasia co-convened one of the six parallel sessions, “Digital Transformation for Social Protection,” along with the World Bank at the National Social Protection Dialogue. This session focused on how to improve the Integrated Welfare Management System (IWMS), Sri Lanka’s key platform for managing social assistance delivery.
Poverty alleviation is the first of the United Nation’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals. However, the three decades of progress in poverty alleviation hit the COVID-19 pandemic wall (World Bank, 2022).
LIRNEasia will present the findings of a nationally representative survey with a 2,500 sample across Sri Lanka. We explore the socio-economic impacts of COVID-19 by analyzing access to education, work, food and government services with a focus on digital technologies.
