Awareness program for the CF on development policies


An awareness program was conducted at the center of fisher cooperative society on development polices of the government   on 21st of July 2014 in Trincomalee. Mr. S. Niroshan who is the lecture of university shared his knowledge with the participants. He explained the theoretical background of allocating finance for the development projects and the way of having decisions about the development policies. The budget of the country is the most important component to allocate finance for every development project. Every allocation should come through the parliament process. That is the legal procedure to get decisions related to development projects.

People have a right participate to the decision making process. Representatives of the people should have a responsibility about the people’s expectations on the development in the country. There was a 6% economic development before end of the war in the country. It has changed as 7.8% according to the existing statistics.
The government has concerned main 5 areas to be developed. Developing tourism industry, developing aviation sector, harbors, power plants and industries related to the sea. Fisheries sector and re exports sections. 

There was a deep discussion about the violation of people’s rights on development process. Many examples were emphasized by the participants for violation of the development rights of the people. There are many development orphans because of the unjust decisions in the country. 

Finally people realized that people should organize to make sure the people’s rights. Although the government indicates different statistics about the development of the country benefits of the development does not receive to the general people as well.
