In order to achieve such purpose, the public service accomplished by Colombo District Secretariat is incomparable. Thirteen Divisional Secretariats work together with District Secretariat provide a peerless cooperation to afford better living standard for the public. The overall administrative, development, cultural, religious, social and co-existence programs planned and implemented within Colombo district were directed for the betterment of the people. It gives me a great pleasure to state here that all such functions could be executed in commendably and splendidly for the wellness of the people in 2017. It was able to distribute expeditiously the subsidies provided by the people to Seethawaka and Kolonnawa Divisional Secretariats and Elapatha and Kiriella divisions in Rathnapura district in the circumstances of the floods occurred in Seethawaka and Kolonnawa Divisional Secretariats as well as in Rathnapura district which created a remarkable memoir in the history. It should be appreciated the duties fulfilled by the officers of District Secretariat and 13 Divisional Secretariats. Although it was planned to complete and open the building of Colombo District Secretariat complex consists of twenty floors in the beginning of the year, it was postponed due to various uncontrollable obstacles. But all the necessary actions have been taken already to complete all relevant works within this year. I believe that it will be helped for the convenience of the people in near future. Obstacles and problems are always engaged with administrative task. It is necessary to confront such difficulties and overcome such challenges. I truly believe that all of my staff members and officers of 13 Divisional Secretariats work together with me to direct Colombo district forward throughout finding solutions and alternatives. I would like to mention that I execute my duties ambitiously in order to provide the leadership for the journey. Hence, I state here that I expect your perseverant courage, incomparable creativity, vision, mission, the cooperation provided in each movement and commitments in the future as before. iii Vision and Mission Vision Prominent District of Good Governance and sustainable Development . !

  • CHAPTER 4 Perspective of the Colombo Metropolitan Area 4.1 Identification of the Colombo Metropolitan Area
    Urban Transport System Development Project for Colombo Metropolitan Region and Suburbs CoMTrans UrbanTransport Master Plan Final Report CHAPTER 4 Perspective of the Colombo Metropolitan Area 4.1 Identification of the Colombo Metropolitan Area 4.1.1 Definition The Western Province is the most developed province in Sri Lanka and is where the administrative functions and economic activities are concentrated. At the same time, forestry and agricultural lands still remain, mainly in the eastern and south-eastern parts of the province. And also, there are some local urban centres which are less dependent on Colombo. These areas have less relation with the centre of Colombo. The Colombo Metropolitan Area is defined in order to analyse and assess future transport demands and formulate a master plan. For this purpose, Colombo Metropolitan Area is defined by: A) areas that are already urbanised and those to be urbanised by 2035, and B) areas that are dependent on Colombo. In an urbanised area, urban activities, which are mainly commercial and business activities, are active and it is assumed that demand for transport is high. People living in areas dependent on Colombo area assumed to travel to Colombo by some transport measures. 4.1.2 Factors to Consider for Future Urban Structures In order to identify the CMA, the following factors are considered. These factors will also define the urban structure, which is described in Section 4.3. An effective transport network will be proposed based on the urban structure as well as the traffic demand. At the same time, the new transport network proposed will affect the urban structure and lead to urban development.

Foreword This paper has been written within the framework of the research project ‘Managing Group Grievances and Internal Conflict’*, executed at the request of the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The project focuses on the process of, and motives for, (violent) group mobilisation and aims at the development of an analytical tool to assist policy-makers in designing conflict-sensitive development activities. In the course of the project, a preliminary assessment tool has been developed in cooperation with Dr. Michael Lund, and discussed with the researchers who carried out the assessment in four country cases: Ghana, Mozambique, Nicaragua and Sri Lanka. On the basis of this testing phase, the tool has been substantially amended and refined**. The present report, which was finalized in September 2002, results from the testing phase and reflects the structure of the analytical tool in its original form.

  • 49273-001: Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises Line of Credit Project
    Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises Line of Credit Project (RRP SRI 49273) ECONOMIC ANALYSIS 1. Sri Lanka has a large unmet demand for financing for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The project’s credit line will partly address this issue. An expected economic rate of return cannot be calculated, as the SME projects to be supported have not been identified. However the economic benefits that will accrue to the participating financial institutions (PFIs), SMEs, and the targeted clusters (fruits and vegetables, information and communication technology and business processing outsourcing [ICT–BPO], and rubber) can be identified through the project’s outputs. A. Enterprise Gap of Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises 2. Credit gap. The credit gap for SMEs (including micro and cottage) is estimated to be at least SLRs321 billion ($2.3 billion) (Table 1).
