Perceptions of the Poor: Poverty Consultations in Four Districts in Sri Lanka
Asian Development Bank | December 2001
Abstract
The poverty consultations in four selected districts were expected to ensure that the views and perspectives of the poor are incorporated at the High Level Forum between the government and the Asian Development Bank (ADB).
The process is also expected to provide an appreciation of poverty issues and the development needs/priorities as perceived by the poorest people in Sri Lanka and identify key poverty challenges for ADB’s poverty partnership agreement with the government.
The consultations are also expected to identify issues to be monitored for future comparison of changes in Sri Lankan poverty levels, and provide input to ADB’s economic and sector work.
