Sri Lanka has suffered from over 25 years of conflict, both in the North and the South. Territorially, the Government currently controls the whole of the country but the root causes of the conflict in the North are yet to be addressed. Furthermore, after 25 years of violence across the country, there are many localised  ‘micro-conflicts’ and different armed factions vying for power, making peace more difficult to find. Whilst there is a real need for national solutions, it is imperative that this runs parallel to broadening and supporting local civil society across the entire country.
