Empowering Traditional CBOs through Participatory Rural Appraisal
Date: September 23, 2023
On September 23, 2023, an insightful Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) took place, involving the residents of the Valaichenai region. This endeavor was made possible through the active participation of representatives from traditional village-level civil organizations.
The AHRC (Aham Humanitarian Resource Center) is actively driving a project that seeks to fortify traditional village-level organizations in the Trincomalee and Batticaloa districts. These organizations serve as vital conduits for suggesting solutions to pressing social issues, and they are integral to the well-being of their respective communities.
This significant event was graced by the presence of Mr. K. Lavakusarasa, AHRC's Coordinator, Mr. A. Madan, Deputy Coordinator, and dedicated officials who are committed to advancing the mission of the organization.
Serving as invaluable resources for this event were Mr. Vasantharaja, Local Government Assistant, and Mr. U. Karoon, Community Development Officer. Their expertise and guidance were instrumental in facilitating productive discussions and assessments during the Participatory Rural Appraisal.
The core objective of this initiative is to empower traditional village-level organizations by engaging the local community in a collaborative process. Through PRA, community members gain a deeper understanding of the challenges they face and collectively work towards sustainable solutions.
By investing in the capacities of these organizations and fostering open dialogue, the AHRC is actively contributing to the betterment of the Trincomalee and Batticaloa districts. This endeavor serves as a testament to the organization's unwavering commitment to promoting positive change at the grassroots level.
