The Asia-Pacific Rights and Justice Initiative: Sri Lanka Country Assessment

June 17, 2015

This assessment was conducted to identify and document the results and impact of the first phase of the Sri Lanka Equal Access to Justice Project (EA2J) which took place from 2004 to December 2007 and addressed legal empowerment and A2J for the disadvantaged using a human rights-based approach. Based on the assessment, the project achieved some significant results in terms of dispensing responses to the grievances of disadvantaged groups and raising awareness among claim holders at the community level as well as duty bearers and was also able to balance its grassroots work with overarching sector strategic interventions, such as the Legal Aid Assessment and the Evaluation Study on the Legal Aid Foundation and the ongoing national baseline survey on A2J.
