The objective of the Second Community Development and Livelihood Improvement Project is to support Government of Sri Lanka (GOSL) strategy for enhancing incomes and the quality of life of poor households in the most poor divisions in the country through: (i) empowering the poor and developing and strengthening participatory institutions of the poor; (ii) improving access of the poor to basic social and economic infrastructure and services and support for productive activities; and (iii) the development of policies, rules, systems, procedures and institutional arrangements that will allow the government to transfer funds directly to communities and local governments. There are five components to the project, the first component being intra-village development. This component will build institutional capacity of pro-poor local institutions, and fund village development and livelihood-related investments at the village level. The second component is the inter-village connectivity development. This component will promote inter-village development to consolidate and sustain investments generated at the village level. The third component is the public, people, and private sector partnerships. This component will support and strengthen the project teams, public sector agencies and other stakeholders at the national, provincial, district, divisional, and cluster level in operationalizing of the Community Driven Development (CDD) approach to respond to the needs of the poor. The fourth component is the project management and monitoring. This component will facilitate overall coordination, planning, implementation, compliance check and quality, learning and monitoring of the project at the national, provincial level, and district level. Finally, the fifth component is the convergence and policy support.
