Starting on 26 December 2010, Batticaloa was struck by the heaviest rains in almost one hundred years, causing devastating northeast monsoon floods in 14 Divisional Secretariat Areas. The flood damage is incurred to homes, infrastructure, schools, water supply, and sanitation systems, among other. The most recent floods are preceded by intense rainfall which had already put many of the conflict-affected returnees at risk.

At the district level, UNDP has been playing an increasingly important role in Early Recovery/Recovery coordination and programming. Early Recovery (ER) is understood as a multidimensional recovery process that begins in the humanitarian setting, and encompasses the restoration of basic services, livelihoods, shelter, governance, security and the rule of law, environment and social dimensions including the reintegration of displaced populations.

These dynamics have turned tourism into a key driver for socio-‎economic progress.‎ The global spread of tourism in industrialized and developed provinces has produced ‎economic and employment benefits in many related sectors - from construction to ‎agriculture and telecommunications.‎
