UN facilitates donor visits to East
The United Nations this week facilitates a visit of representatives from six donor agencies to Eastern Province as part of the UN's continuing attention to post-conflict challenges facing the country.
The donors will visit communities in Trincomalee and Batticaloa districts during their three-day visit.
The mission will hold meetings with Government representatives in the districts, and is scheduled to visit the areas where people who fled their homes during the conflict are being resettled with assistance from the government, the United Nations agencies and non-Governmental organizations.
The visit will allow representatives of the donor community to have a first-hand look at the impact that their support has had on the lives of communities, and to explore ways in which the international community could contribute to the recovery process through a combination of assistance ranging from support to livelihoods and housing to strengthening the capacity of Local Government administration to coordinate and manage the recovery effort as well as initiatives to promote community harmony.
