This is one of the initiatives under the Catalytic Support to Peacebuilding in Sri Lanka Project funded by European Union (EU) and implemented by United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). As we are well aware, an integrated planning is a prerequisite for any successive development process. It facilitates to set development priorities in a systematic and professional manner in order to optimize the utilization of limited resources. In this context, Sabaragamuwa Province also needs a comprehensive and an integrated development plan to cater their development challenges. As we know, Sabaragamuwa has a vast natural and diversified resources compared to other provinces in Sri Lanka. Most of them are unique to Sabaragamuwa hence could be used as development potentials. However, it does not mean Sabaragamuwa has no any challenges in their development process. Sabaragamuwa Province is still suffering from the poverty incidents. Household Income and Expenditure Survey 2016 revealed that 26993 out of 169,392 families in Sri Lanka are still living below official poverty line. It is further elaborated that Sabaragamuwa Province has recorded as second poorest province except Central Province. In terms of share of income in the Sabaragamuwa Province, 48 percent of total income goes to 60 percent of total population while other 47 percent goes to richest people amounting 20 percent of total population. Most critical scenario is that poorest segment representing 20 percent of total population benefits only 5 percent of total income of the province. Also, it is noted that some sectors as well as geographical entities such as Divisional Secretariat Divisions and villages in the province are still remaining as underserved pockets and need sufficient policy interventions to bridge the gaps. Therefore, policy makers and planners need a comprehensive integrated plan to address these development issues through proper inter and intra-governmental relationship. Recently Sabaragamuwa Provincial Council launched their policy statement named “Sabaragamu Gang Galabasee” under the theme of “Sabaragamauwa Lassanai” programme to incorporate such development intervention to provincial development framework. I am very much confidence that Five-Year Vision Oriented Integrated Development Plan will guide the policy makers to create a “Beautiful Sabaragamuwa” through enhancing the wellbeing of the Sabaragamuwa community. Dhamma Dissanayake Governor of the Sabaragamuwa Province Sabaragamuwa Province - Five Year Vision Oriented Integrated Development Plan 2019 - 2023 v Message from the Chief Secretary t is a great privilege to me in giving my compliments to the Five-Year Vision Oriented IIntegrated Development Plan (2019-2023) formulated under the Catalytic Support to Peacebuilding in Sri Lanka Project funded by European Union (EU) and implemented by United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). As one of the backward provinces in terms of some key social and economic indicators, Sabaragamuwa Province is facing a wide array of challenges like poor infrastructure facilities, rural poor and inadequate social amenities etc. We therefore have a mandate to fulfil and hence committed to serving Sabaragamuwa community in order to create the Sabaragamuwa Province as one of the leading provinces in Sri Lanka. This effort basically comprised an integrated strategic approach to address development issues and constraints identified during consultation forums as well as reviewing sector plans and primary and secondary data. It is ensured this five-year plan will also enable the Sabaragamuwa Province to fulfil its role in the provincial and national context. This plan can now meaningfully drive the strategies through the communities, private sector and as well as facilitate with regard to intergovernmental relations. I am pleased to take this opportunity to thank all stakeholder agencies involved in this exercise and especially for the European Union (EU) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) for giving their valuable financial and technical assistance to succeed this great effort. D. M. Malani Chief Secretary - Sabaragamuwa Provincial Council Sabaragamuwa Province - Five Year Vision Oriented Integrated Development Plan 2019 - 2023 vii Message from the Deputy Chief Secretary (Planning) am pleased to convey my appreciation for the formulation of Five-Year Vision Oriented I Integrated Development Plan (2019-2023), Sabaragamuwa Province. This is a part of the planning support projects under Catalytic Support to Peacebuilding in Sri Lanka Project funded by European Union (EU) and implemented by United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). This five-year plan prepared for the Sabaragamuwa Province aims at creating a platform for decision making in involving with all the stakeholders in a collaborative manner. Also, this plan is to create an environment for rapid economic development and social wellbeing in minimizing disparities among marginalized sectors, individuals, communities and geographical entities. As far as limited resources are concerned, Sabaragamuwa Province is committed to utilize the available resources effectively and efficiently in addressing the challenges faced by the communities within the Sabaragamuwa Province. Through this strategic document it is ensured that all necessary measures are identified in optimizing resources in an integrated manner in order to achieve relevant strategic objectives. I would like to take this opportunity and thank all the stakeholders those who involved in this exercise for giving their valuable inputs for this exceptional integrated development plan formulated for the Sabaragamuwa Province. Also, special thanks should go to United Nations Development Programme for giving their valuable partnership both technical and financial to succeed this exercise. Parakrama Piyasena Deputy Chief Secretary (Planning) - Sabaragamuwa Provincial Council Sabaragamuwa Province - Five Year Vision Oriented Integrated Development Plan 2019 - 2023 ix Message from the Resident Representative UNDP Sri Lanka he 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development comes at a moment of profound change, both Tin Sri Lanka and the world at large. Inequality has soared, poverty remains, and in addition, climate change poses new risks. Amid these challenges are opportunities of an era of unprecedented human progress. The 2030 Agenda is our roadmap to move forward. It recognizes that none of these issues will be solved in isolation by one country or institution. Only in working together will we achieve the kind of sustainable development that transforms lives. As such, UNDP has been pleased to be a part of the design of the 5-year vision oriented integrated multi sectoral Provincial Development Plan 2019-2023 for the Sabaragamuwa Province, developed through funding from the European Union under the Catalytic Support to Peacebuilding Programme in Sri Lanka. This is testament to a product developed through a collaborative and convergent process. It has brought together the Government, private sector and civil society stakeholders in an inclusive bottom-up engagement approach in defining the development needs of the Province. The alignment of the Provincial development results with the SDGs, while localizing the Agenda 2030, will serve to give better direction to the development of the Province. The Provincial Development Plan thus represents the critical first step on an innovative and challenging path to sustainable human development for the

  • Experience at Sri Lanka Telecom
    Changing an Organizational Culture through Social Dialogue: Experience at Sri Lanka Telecom Introduction There is a continuing debate on the feasibility and even the desirability of changing organisational cultures through managerial interventions. Those who follow the anthropological approach tend to view the organisation as a culture in itself, a root metaphor, which cannot be manipulated or changed by such interventions (Meek 1988). Others, while taking a less orthodox view, have shown the difficulty of changing organisational cultures due to several reasons, including time and resource commitments and the ethical questions arising out of managers' attempts to change employees' beliefs and values (Harrison & Shirom 1999; Willmott 1993). The alternative approach is to look at culture as something that the organisation has, a variable that can be manipulated and managed, though with some difficulty, to achieve specific organisational objectives (Armstrong 1990; Goffee & Jones 1998). Proponents of this approach are of the view that managers have a responsibility to review organisation culture and make appropriate adjustments to suit growing organisational complexity and to meet changing environmental circumstances (Deal & Kennedy 1982; Mabey & Salaman 1995; Thornhill et. al., 2000;). The 'success stories' of major culture change programmes at British Airways, ICL and British Telecom (Armstrong 1990; Price & Murphy 1987) and Nissan (Kotter & Heskett 1992) are frequently cited as prime examples of effective culture change through managerial interventions. Two major approaches to changing an organisation culture have been identified: the top down and the bottom up (Thornhill et al., 2000). In the top down, which is sometimes referred to as the 'culture engineering approach' (See Palmer & Handy 2000), it is assumed that the management and in particular the top management of an organisation has full knowledge of the desired values, norms and the behaviour expected of all organistional members to achieve success.

    GEOGRAPHY Grade 11 (for Grade 11, commencing from 2008) Teachers' Instructional Manual Department of Social Sciences Faculty of Languages, Humanities and Social Sciences National Institute of Education Maharagama. 2008 i Geography Grade 11 Teachers’ Instructional Manual © National Institute of Education First Print in 2007 Faculty of Languages, Humanities and Social Sciences Department of Social Science National Institute of Education Printing: The Press, National Institute of Education, Maharagama. ii Forward Being the first revision of the Curriculum for the new millenium, this could be regarded as an approach to overcome a few problems in the school system existing at present. This curriculum is planned with the aim of avoiding individual and social weaknesses as well as in the way of thinking that the present day youth are confronted. When considering the system of education in Asia, Sri Lanka was in the forefront in the field of education a few years back. But at present the countries in Asia have advanced over Sri Lanka. Taking decisions based on the existing system and presenting the same repeatedly without a new vision is one reason for this backwardness. The officers of the National Institute of Education have taken courage to revise the curriculum with a new vision to overcome this situation. The objectives of the New Curriculum have been designed to enable the pupil population to develop their competencies by way of new knowledge through exploration based on their existing knowledge. A perfectly new vision in the teachers’ role is essential for this task. In place of the existing teacher-centred method, a pupil-centred method based on activities and competencies is expected from this new educa- tional process in which teachers should be prepared to face challenges.

  • Chatting Sri Lanka: Powerful Communications in Colonial Times
    Chatting Sri Lanka: Powerful Communications in Colonial Times Justin Siefert PhD 2016 Chatting Sri Lanka: Powerful Communications in Colonial Times Justin Siefert A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the Manchester Metropolitan University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History, Politics and Philosophy Manchester Metropolitan University 2016 Abstract: The thesis argues that the telephone had a significant impact upon colonial society in Sri Lanka. In the emergence and expansion of a telephone network two phases can be distinguished: in the first phase (1880-1914), the government began to construct telephone networks in Colombo and other major towns, and built trunk lines between them. Simultaneously, planters began to establish and run local telephone networks in the planting districts. In this initial period, Sri Lanka’s emerging telephone network owed its construction, financing and running mostly to the planting community. The telephone was a ‘tool of the Empire’ only in the sense that the government eventually joined forces with the influential planting and commercial communities, including many members of the indigenous elite, who had demanded telephone services for their own purposes. However, during the second phase (1919-1939), as more and more telephone networks emerged in the planting districts, government became more proactive in the construction of an island-wide telephone network, which then reflected colonial hierarchies and power structures. Finally in 1935, Sri Lanka was connected to the Empire’s international telephone network. One of the core challenges for this pioneer work is of methodological nature: a telephone call leaves no written or oral source behind.
