Sri Lanka also attempts to acquire a higher level of living standard of people in the field of economic, social and cultural development. In the process, it is a preeminent contribution in minimizing regional disparities, contributing national economic development and strengthening the democratic process that has been shown by the Provincial Councils and the Local Government system in the country. This ministry has provided allocation for strengthening of backward Local Authorities to improve infrastructure facilities and furnish essential machines and equipment. Specially, more allocations have been provided for selected local government which are facing many difficulties in carrying out day to maintenances due to insufficient income levels. Our ministry has giving a distinctive attention to the current world challenged problem of Solid Waste and taken measures to introduce an appropriate Solid Waste Management mechanism. As a preliminary step, required machines and equipment have been provided for many Local Authorities.

  • Different Levels of NGO Engagement and Reactions of the Government: Assessing the Sri Lankan Experience

Successive governments have welcomed NGO and foreign donor funds for large scale construction projects. At the same time, with the support of Sinhala nationalist groups, governments have also portrayed NGOs and foreign donors as imperial agents. This criticism has been used against NGOs involved in the promotion and protection of human rights, especially in the war affected areas. This inconsistent behaviour of governments towards NGOs and foreign donors reflects opportunistic politics.
