    (2023-07-11) Ellepola, Yolanthika
    This is a preliminary study to understand the national level preparedness towards achieving health related Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Sri Lanka. This study highlights the government’s commitment towards achieving health related SDGs and examines the current role of several key stakeholders involved in the planning, implementation and monitoring of the health related SDGs. In particular, the role of health policy research institutions in achieving health related SDGs is discussed in some detail. The study further elaborates some of the impending challenges in implementation and monitoring of health related SDGs in the country. The study was conducted predominantly using a qualitative analysis approach where data was obtained through desk review, key informant interviews (KIIs), focus group discussions (FGDs). This analysis was however supplemented by the use of quantitative data through publicly available sources such as reports and government policy documents. The data was collected and coded thematically and triangulated with the desk review for accuracy. Ethical issues of privacy and confidentiality were also considered.
