Cabinet has approved a proposal to appoint "Community Advisory Committees" at local government authority level.
These committees will work to identify priority programmes and projects that should be implemented urgently at the local government level and take steps to implement them. These include the 'Urumaya' land ownership programme, urban housing ownership programme, 'Kandukara Dashakaya' development programme, agriculture modernisation programme and rice distribution programme. The Committees will supervise these programmes at the village level.
The main aim of these committees would be to obtain maximum support from the community to supervise development programmes and projects being implemented at the village level.
A Community Advisory Committee will be appointed to each local government authority for a period of one year.
Following the approval of the Cabinet proposal, the Presidential Secretariat has already sent out a circular on the appointment of these "Community Advisory Committees" to all Provincial Governors, Chief Secretaries of the Provinces, District Secretaries and Divisional Secretaries.
