Sri Lanka Mid-Term Report 2016-2018 – For Public Comment

We invite you to comment on the Independent Reporting Mechanism’s Year 1 Report for Sri Lanka’s first action plan.

In 2018, the Independent Reporting Mechanism (IRM) published the Year 1 report for Sri Lanka’s action plan. The report covers the first year of action plan implementation: July 2016 through June 2017.

The findings from the report are summarized below :

“Sri Lanka’s first national action plan addressed a broad range of issues, from health to corruption to the right to information. While the government passed legislation on the right to information, most commitments saw little to no progress. Moving forward, the government may need to focus on meaningfully convening key stakeholders during implementation of the action plan. This, in turn, may help to ensure that more commitments are implemented through to completion.”
