Resume

The project objective (entitled “Advocacy to Contribute to the Sri Lankan Civil Movement on Resisting Corruption or CMRC”) is to contribute to the emerging civil movement on resisting corruption in Sri Lanka that is taking place on a daily basis. The project proposes to bridge an important gap of the civil society movement emerging from the grassroots activists including youth and women by creating discourses and strategies for building resistance against bribery and corruption in a manner that is sustained and impactful. The implementation strategies comprise training of CSOs and other civil actors, public education through media and social media, and building community solidarity with specific victims’ groups. The project will advocate for changes that are needed structurally to implement interventions aimed at eliminating of corruption at local and national level by improving country’s rule of law system and the institutions which are dealing with the law enforcement functions.
