Awareness raising campaign was conducted in Mannar and
Baticaloa with the objectives of
Ø Awareness raising on international
instruments in relation to Food Producer groups and food sovereignty
Ø Education on the ongoing debate of
the Seeds bill in the country and the campaign,
Ø Highlighting of issues and the
campaigns related to IDP, WHF, Indian trawling and Security concerns in the northern province
Ø Awareness raising on the Yes! for Change
with Reform campaign in the country
Ø Establishing possible collaboration
of the eastern civil society groups in relation to the change with reform campaign.
About 50 participants were participated to the Baticaloa
program which was organized by local civil organization and participants from
several other organizations from Baticaloa as well as Trincomalee district were
also included in the group during the three day program.
Jaffna, Kinochchi, Mulathive, Vawniya and Mannar people
joined to the 2 programs conducted in Mannar.
Active participation of the people made the program more
understandable for them and we were able to identify ground realities of the
areas at present.
Programs were conducted with uncertainty due to government
banning all programs conducting by the civil organizations and NGOs in North
and East.
As outcome of the program, people decided to build provincial
civil society forums for protection of civil and political rights.
