The focus has been on strengthening economic rights and immediate needs of disadvantaged groups in Sri Lanka, while building up strong and trustful relationships with local state and non-state actors in numerous districts in the South, the East and the North. Since 2009, the focus has been in the Governance and Peace working area; perspectives for the engagement in Sri Lanka confirm this key orientation. The interventions include areas on human rights, democracy, reconciliation and sustainable peace, safe labour migration and civil society support. In addition, HELVETAS sets a particular accent on working with young women and men.
