South Asia Project Brief: Sri Lanka North East Community Restoration and Development Project
Asian Development Bank | May 2015
Abstract
Provincial project coordination committees
ensured equitable support to diverse
communities and prevented overlap with other
development programs. A gender action plan
was to be applied, to ensure equal participation
by male and female stakeholders.
The project is in line with the strategic
directions of ADB’s South Asia Department.
The strategy focuses on sustainable
infrastructure, climate change mitigation and
adaptation, human development, regional
cooperation and integration, public–private
partnership, and good governance.
158 women’s rural development
societies were reactivated and
their members’ livelihoods
enhanced through revolving
funds, which aided self-reliance
and created self-employment
for over 1,500 women
