The Gemidiriya Program, Sri Lanka
The Gemidiriya program's long-term
objective is to reduce rural poverty and promote sustainable
and equitable rural development. The program aims at
creating an environment that enables rural communities to
improve their livelihoods and quality of life. It paves the
way for rural communities to get together, organize
formally, plan village development by themselves with 50
percent women participation, and to mobilize self-help and
community contributions. The Gemidiriya focuses on building
accountable and self-governing local institutions by: (i)
devolving decision-making power and resources to community
organizations; (ii) strengthening selected local governments
that demonstrate responsiveness and accountability to rural
communities; and (iii) working with federations of village
organizations (VOs), the private sector, and non
governmental organizations (NGOs) on economic empowerment to
increase the size and diversity of livelihoods. This note
summarizes the findings, processes, concerns, and lessons
learned from the Sri Lanka pilot.
