Centre for Women and Development

The end of the war has given hope for the Government and the NGOs to enter into a new phase of reconciliation resettlement, democracy and development. The Centre for women and development at the initial stage its field programs span to the Districts of Jaffna , Kilinochchi and Mullaithevu, had to narrow down its activities to Jaffna due to the conflicts and its consequences. It had its own ups and downs, particularly in terms of financial resources which controlled the effective involvement of human resources as well.
The present scenario has somewhat changed and particularly the local NGOs in the North tend to face new challenges. The Local NGOs are not allowed to visit the war affected Vanni areas. Any development projects need to have PTF approval for implementation in the North.
