A partner capacity assessment was carried out in the districts of Vavuniya, Galle, Hambantota, Batticaloa, Polonnaruwa, Kegalle and Ratnapura for partner organizations implementing NPC’s Plural Action for Conflict Transformation (PACT) project.

The assessment examined the financial transparency, capacity to implement activities, achieve results and meet the objectives of the project with proper administrative and financial functions in accordance with accepted rules and regulations with a view to improving these aspects.

After the result of the assessment is analysed, a strategic plan will be developed in collaboration with District Inter Religious Committee (DIRC) members. Also under the PACT project, three sub committees were established under DIRCs, two in Vavuniya and one in Galle. The committees will take measures to build understanding and trust among different communities and to provide opportunities for the different communities to coexist in peace and harmony.

At the Batticaloa DIRC meeting members of subcommittees were present and participated in doing situation analyses of the areas where the sub committees were established. Members will plan activities for implementation in their communities.
