Village Self-Help Learning Initiative (VSHLI) Pilot |

 |
| The component will complete implementation of the ongoing pilot in Polonnaruwa district. The pilot was initiated in 2000 under the Mahaweli Rehabilitation and Restructuring Project (MRRP), which closed in December 2003, to test an institutional model that empowers village communities and builds partnership at the local level. The pilot has successfully demonstrated that given the participatory framework, communities can articulate their needs and priorities and take responsibility for implementing and monitoring village development. The pilot will now test the second stage of institutional development – federation of Village Organizations and partnership with private sector. |
