n Sri Lanka
GV is currently completing two research projects, one on “Constraints
that Small-Scale Women-Owned/Operated Businesses in the Central
Province Face” and the other on “Parental Involvement
and Educational Attainment of Children in the Plantation Sector.”
The Central Province Women’s Chamber of Commerce and Industry
is collaborating on the first project and the Information Centre
for Tamil Education and Culture, Hatton that was established by
the Swedish International Development Agency (Sida) on the second.
GV Executive Chairman Professor Stanley W. Samarasinghe of the Payson
Center for International Development, Tulane University, New Orleans,
USA is directing both studies. Mr. Joshua Schoop and Mr. Paul Sauder
of the Payson Center are the two respective principal researchers.
GV Executive Director Dr. Ananda Jayawardane and Senor Consultant
Mr. Palitha Elkaduwa are principal advisors to the two projects.
The results of the research will be presented in the last week of
July, 2010 at two workshops, one in Hatton and the other in Kandy.
GV will present the findings in the form of two final reports to
the Central Province Ministry of Industries and Education (Tamil).
Copies of the reports will also be published shortly on this website.
