SL: UN HELP TO EASTERN PROVINCE!!!

UN to assist ‘Awakening of East’ programme

By Sandun A Jaysekera
The UN has come forward to assist the development programme in the east against the backdrop of the province being liberated after over two decades of conflict and re-establishment of peace and stability, a Public Administration and Home Affairs spokesman said.A ‘Strategic Development Assistant Team’ sent by the world body had conducted several rounds of discussions with the Public Administration and Home Affairs Minister Karu Jayasuriya, who spearheads the development campaign in the province under the “Awakening of East” programme, he said.

The UN team headed by Jahal De Meritens had pledged to provide humanitarian assistance in the next two years and economic development assistance after that, the spokesman said.

“The discussion held by the UN team with Minister Karu Jayasuriya has been a huge success. The members of the team discussed with the minister the mode of assistance they could recommend to the world body to achieve a speedy development in Trincomalee, Ampara and Batticaloa,” he emphasized.

The team had been highly impressed when Mr. Jayasuriya explained to them the progress achieved in 180 days under the “Awakening of the East” programme.

They had agreed with the minister to carry out educational, cultural and social development programmes for the youth in the East to prevent them from falling prey to subversive elements once again.

The other members of the team were Anita Shah, Awa Dabo, Douglas Keh, Tom Hockle and Samuel Gbaydee Doe.

Minister Jayasuriya was assisted at the discussions by the Secretary of the Ministry D. Dissanayaka and District Secretaries in Ampara, Batticaloa and Trincomalee .
