    In August this year the Outreach Unit has two major projects

    underway; Promoting Language Rights of Minorities Phase 3 (PLRM3) and Safeguarding Civil rights of Plantation Workers Project with

    AUSAID

    PLRM 3 seeks to address the fundamental rights of minorities with a focus

    on language rights in Sri Lanka .It addresses Language inequality in Sri

    Lanka, considered by many as a significant underlying cause of the conflict

    spanning more than 3 decades.

    The project carried out by CPA initially covered 5 bilingual districts of the

    East; namely, Ampara, Batticaloa, Vavuniya , Mannar and Killinochci and

    was subsequently extended to Jaffna and Colombo in the second phase.

    The Project now extends in geographical scope to districts in the Estate

    sector in which the One Day Compact Training was also held in August for

    Selection of Peer Leaders and Postal Peons Covering Plantations was held

    at the Uva Management Training Institute Polgahathenna.

    Core Objectives of the Training include assisting youth identify their roles

    and responsibilities in society, increasing youth capacity involved in social

    integration processes at community level, awareness about participatory

    decision making processes and inclusive citizen participation.

    The Safeguarding Civil rights of Plantation Workers Project with

    AUSAID is aimed at estate workers who by not being given a

    permanent contact address miss opportunities such as important

    interviews and exam notification letters, undergo banking related

    difficulties, miss community meetings and other important

    notifications.

    Additionally lack of National Identity cards leads to a number of serious

    issues; limited freedom of movement, difficulty in making transactions,

    vulnerability in civil and criminal cases, lack of security, complications in

    obtaining official documentation and finding employment .

    Therefore the project seeks to empower Plantation Sector Workers by

    assisting them to obtain permanent addresses and national identity

    cards. The projects are set to extend to March 2014.

    Mandated with complementing CPA-initiated interventions by

    spreading awareness among citizens to facilitate an informed public

    dialogue the Outreach Unit strives to increase understanding of the

    fundamental convictions held by CPA on peace, democracy and good

    governance, among the public and particularly among the rural

    stakeholders with a particular emphasis on youth and womens groups.

    Missed opportunities due to

    misplacing of interview or exam

    notification letters is a source of

    frustration for young people in the

    Estate Sector who seek better jobs

    or education

    30 Years Ago

    The culmination of months of

    dedicated research, travel,

    challenging production work and

    curation, 30 Years Ago was

    launched on 19th August 2013.

    Conceptualized and curated by

    Sanjana Hattotuwa, a senior

    researcher at CPA, the project is an

    attempt to remember and probe Sri

    Lanka's epochal anti-Tamil pogrom

    of '83 through perspectives rarely, if

    ever, featured before.

    The producers have used a wide

    range of media and methods - from

    a mixed media triptych to info-graphics, from audio podcasts to

    video, from photography to

    compelling write-ups.

    To complement the launch of 30

    Years Ago and focus on some of the

    issues the project is anchored to and

    inspired by, four panel discussions

    were held in Colombo at Park Street

    Mews, Warehouse D.

    The inaugural session featured

    Deshamanya Bradman Weerakoon

    and Dr. Devanesan Nesiah, both of

    whom have been featured on

    Groundviews previously writing or

    speaking about Black July. This is the

    very first time they are appearing

    together totalk about their uniqueexperiences around the violence in

    1983.

    The other panels feature someof the Sri Lankas best known

    artists, gallerists, writers,

    dramatists, activists and journalis

    Following the completion of the Reconnecting the Citizens with

    the Local Authorities in the North phase I project the

    Governance and Anti-Corruption programme of CPA is currently

    in the midst of carrying out Reconnecting the Citizens with the

    Local Authorities in the North phase II project.

    The objective of the project is to enhance the civic engagement of

    community members by strengthening relationships between newly

    elected local authorities.

    Supplementary objectives include improving citizens awareness and

    active participation in the local budget process and service delivery,

    and an increase in income revenue options in order to enable the

    PSs to manage their functions autonomously, as was expected from

    in the 13th Amendment, which was introduced in 1987 to the

    Constitution. It also aims to establish and enhance public, private

    and civil society partnerships among Pradeshiya Sabhas in the North

    to increase confidence in PS administration and service delivery.

    The Phase II project currently running is comprised of two mainactivities; North South Exchange Visit for Local Representatives from

    the Northern Province and Revenue Management for the Local

    Government Authority Leaders in both Jaffna and Mulaitivu districts.

    The Northern exchange team comprised the Chairmen, Vice

    Chairmen, members, secretary, technical officer and local

    government assistants which is surprising and heartening in its

    willingness considering the impending election in the Northern

    Province.

    The entire office of the council, all members and the Hon. Chairman

    were given an unbelievable welcome by the exchange group. The

    team and the Agalawatta council had a remarkable ability to

    understand each other and they all worked as one team said

    Manjula Gajanayke of CPAs Governance and Anti-Corruption

    programme. Following the two intense activity exchange visits, the

    photographs. A video documentary is also being planned.

    which were requested by participants of the Exchange visits.

    Both Phase I and Phase II of these projects are funded by The

    United States Agency for International Development (USAID) with

    funds to be provided through Development Alternatives. Inc (DAI).

    The Governance & Anti-Corruption programme commenced in July

    2007, the unit focuses on Governance issues with particular

    emphasis on Local Authorities and the Transparency &

    Accountability angles of their budget processes. Other important

    areas of concern are procurement, Right to Information andaccountability.

    Legal & Constitutional Unit

    In August the Legal and Constitutional Unit of CPA

    produced several publications available online

    A Critique: HIV/AIDS and the Legal and Policy

    Framework in Sri Lanka: Official figures indicate SriLanka to be a low prevalence country but numerous

    factors could contribute towards the possibility of an

    outbreak of HIV / AIDS.

    These factors include poverty, lack of awareness, low

    condom use and the presence of numerous

    vulnerable groups. This coupled with the high levels

    of stigma and discrimination prevents many from

    coming forward to obtain assistance including

    necessary health care.

    The paper discusses and comments on the legal and

    policy dimension and the obstacles it poses to a

    sustainable and effective response to HIV/AIDS.
