SRI LANKA PEACE SUPPORT PROJECT III
Print
Version (PDF)
Sri Lanka currently is experiencing its best chance for lasting peace since 1994: a ceasefire agreement was signed in 2002 and talks between the Government of Sri Lanka and the Liberation Tamil Tigers of Eelam have been initiated. However, neither negotiations nor any agreement reached will be sustainable unless both are based on a vision of peace shared by all stakeholders. AED's Sri Lanka Peace Support Project (SLPSP) aims to build the capacity of government and civil society organizations to engage and value the participation of all stakeholders in the peace process. SLPSP provides grants and/or technical assistance to Sri Lankan organizations in the areas of stakeholder analysis, multi-stakeholder dialogue, grassroots mobilization, public opinion, peace values, and strategic sectors.
SLPSP's first phase ran from April - October 2002, the second phase from November 2002 - April 2004, and the current phase from May 2004 - September 2007. Funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development, the project's current phase is worth approximately US $6.9 million. SLPSP is designed and implemented by AED's Center for Civil Society and Governance.
