Goal 1: No Poverty

End poverty in all its forms everywhere

As of 2016, Sri Lanka's poverty headcount ratio stood at 4.1% - this indicates that approximately 844,000 people are in poverty based on a National Poverty Line of Rs. 4,166. Research suggests that if this poverty line is increased by 20%, the headcount ratio doubled, indicating a significant near-poor population who are vulnerable to shocks that could shift them back into poverty. The country also experiences significant disparities, with certain regions consistently facing higher levels of poverty than the rest, pointing towards deep-rooted structural issues.
