Abstract
Significant transformations in the
socio-political and economic landscape of Sri Lanka in
recent years encouraged five development partners-World
Bank, Asia Foundation, and the governments of the United
Kingdom, Netherlands and Sweden to collaborate on a conflict
assessment in 2005. This reflects a growing trend in the
development partner community of combining efforts, pooling
resources, and taking advantage of comparative strengths to
engage in conflict analysis exercises. The multi-donor
conflict assessment revisits the underlying structures of
conflict, identified in the previous conflict assessment,
and explores the current dynamics of conflict factors with a
particular focus on the peace process and international
engagement. This note presents key findings of the
assessment, in particular, the approaches supported by
development partners in Sri Lanka. While this is drawn
solely from the Sri Lanka experience, it is likely to have a
broad relevance to many such countries.
