This project aims to improve inclusive democratic governance in Sri Lanka to better address the needs of women, youth and marginalized communities in the aftermath of Sri Lanka’s economic crisis. Project activities include: (1) developing case studies on the economic benefits of inclusive governance practices and sharing them with political leaders and party members; (2) facilitating dialogues with political leaders and party members on the comparative economic advantages of inclusive, multilevel forms of governance; (3) facilitating capacity and knowledge-building activities for women, youth, marginalized leaders, and civil society organizations. It does so by focusing on multilevel systems’ structures, processes, entry points and fiscal practices that are relevant to these target groups; and (4) providing training to women, youth and marginalized leaders on engaging with political decision-making systems.
