CPA celebrates 10

The Centre for Poverty Analysis (CEPA) will celebrate its tenth anniversary this year at Ceylon Continental Hotel Colombo marking ten years of poverty research and dialogue in Sri Lanka.

A two-day colloquium will be held on June 30 and July 1 on "Current imperatives in understanding poverty", CEPA Chairman Prof Hiran Dias said.

He said many issues that can contribute to wellbeing are left out of the discourse or are as yet insufficiently explored or understood despite huge strides made in reducing the incidence of poverty in Sri Lanka.

Some of those forgotten issues will be brought to the forefront of the development agenda.
