The interview with a disaster management and resilience professional with 20 years of experience, traces a career bridging agriculture, organizational management, and humanitarian response in Sri Lanka.
In Sri Lanka, she has engaged in climate-resilient water management (CRIWMP) and other climate-smart initiatives, coordinating with civil society to mobilize communities in Anuradhapura and Trincomalee. Projects focused on water management for smallholders, drinking water during disasters, strengthening minor irrigation tanks, and delivering climate-smart information to women farmers in Batticaloa.
Her experience covers the dry zone and Horowpothana in Anuradhapura, where climate-smart agriculture, disaster risk reduction, and livelihood recovery were pursued. The interview highlights hazards such as floods, drought, and human-wildlife conflicts, and reflects on generational shifts in farming. Social issues include gendered burdens, water collection challenges, and security concerns for women.
