Sri Lanka poverty alleviation: What are the priority areas?


Posted on October 13, 2011  /  0 Comments

A somewhat broader topic, but still quite an interesting one. I worked this up at the invitation of Caritas, a major charitable organization in Sri Lanka. It shows, among other things, that seven out of nine Provinces in Sri Lanka are no longer seriously deficient with regard to household access to ICTs. Even the two laggards, the Northern and Eastern Provinces that took the brunt of the war, are not too far behind. The slideset also shows how much is spent on transport and communication by households.

The slides are here. The LBO column based on the talk is here.
