Sri Lanka’s Community Mediation Programme

by CDR Program Associate Patrick Teese

CDR has long enjoyed strong relationships with mediators and other stakeholders in Sri Lanka, where a well regarded national mediation program supports communities through local challenges. Our team recently worked with local organizations to update the program’s training approach and is proud of our continued role in its further development and expansion.

Our efforts to update and improve existing training materials and approaches built on content from 2009 and 2023 and incorporated insight from the Mediation Training Officers (MTOs) responsible for the hands-on delivery of the training to public mediation program’s newest mediators.
