At that time, it was a cardinal sin to pinpoint shortcomings of the trade liberalisation experiment which Sri Lanka had initiated a decade earlier, but the bearded young economist who took the podium as a researcher from IPS surprised us all. He said that the trade liberalisation move initiated by Sri Lanka in 1978 was a necessity, but the timing and the steps taken were all catastrophic. What he meant was that Sri Lanka, instead of going for a wholesale trade liberalisation, could have done it in steps so that its adverse effects could have been minimised. Since then, I became a fan of Dr. Saman Kelegama, who is known as Saman to his friends. I had a very close rapport with him, personally as well as professionally.

  • A Vision for Sri Lanka 2025& 2035 Pre-Requisites of Very High Human Development Godfrey Gunatilleke
    A Vision for Sri Lanka 2025& 2035 Pre-Requisites of Very High Human Development Godfrey Gunatilleke 1.Introduction The main purpose of this paper is to examine Sri Lanka’s long-term prospects for human development over the next two decades. The sources of data used for this exercise are those made available in the Human Development Report (HDR) – in particular, the latest Human Development Report for 2014 . Sri Lanka’s future possibilities are assessed in terms of the framework used in the HDR which classifies the countries under four categories – low , medium, high ,and very high human development . The term “ human development” as has been conceptualised in the HDR is a state of well-being in which economic development plays a part but is not the sole or dominant determinant of well-being . In human development , economic development is only one of three essential fundamentals of development, the other two being good health and educational attainment of the population. Each of these have equal weight in the total outcome of development In the HDR , the state of human development of a country are measured and ranked in terms of these three basic indicators on a scale of 0 to 1 . It is this analytical framework on which the paper draws. The category of very high human development (VVHD) includes 49 countries with a human development score over 0.800 , These countries enjoy a PPP $ per capita income in a range between 17297 ( Argentina ) and 119,029 (Qatar) , life expectancies averaging 80 years and a span of schooling of approximately 16years .

Preface For several years, Norway was involved in efforts to contribute to a peaceful solution to the conflict in Sri Lanka. After the military victory by the Sri Lankan army over the Tamil Tigers (LTTE) in May 2009, Norway no longer had a role to play. This evaluation of Norwegian peace efforts in Sri Lanka was commissioned mainly for the purpose of informing international peace efforts. The evaluation team was asked to analyze Norway’s role as a peace facilitator in Sri Lanka 1997 – 2009, in light of the knowledge and opportunities available at the time.
