The UN office in Colombo has told the media today that Bragg will meet with the flood displaced persons in the country.
Her visit is aimed at highlighting "all humanitarian needs in Sri Lanka, and the United Nations ongoing commitment in providing humanitarian relief and assistance, and for advocating on behalf of the most vulnerable people," the UN office said.
During her stay in the country, Bragg is scheduled to meet with representatives from the government, donor community and aid agencies.
She will visit flood-affected areas, as well as areas in the north where thousands of people have returned and are slowly rebuilding their lives since hostilities ended in 2009.
The UN is to launch a Flash Appeal for emergency funds to respond to the Sri Lankan flood crisis during Bragg's visit.
