Foreword Transparency International Sri Lanka (TISL) retains a vision to build a nation that upholds integrity by supporting the collective effort to enhance integrity and eradicate corruption. It is our belief that this could only be done by engaging all stakeholders in constructive dialogue to come up with joint strategies for the eradication of corruption and the promotion of good governance. Constructive criticism and scrutiny are essential to ensure continuous improvement. While appreciating positive accomplishments, the efforts captured here are an attempt to diagnose whether the regulatory mechanism is functioning at optimum level. As in preceding years, the Governance Report 2011 aims to stimulate debate on governance issues that have occurred in nine sectors. Interesting alterations were observed in the different sectors of the state system and the Governance Report examines the impact of the regulatory mechanism on service delivery in nine key sectors that were deemed to be of public interest at the beginning of the year. These nine sectors were continuously highlighted in the media in the first quarter of the year. While the report may not be extensive, it comprises multiple chapters that provide an overview of each of the sectors, in relation to the changes observed in the regulatory framework within that sector. Unlike reports of the previous years, the 2011 Report dwells on sectors that are in the discourse of an average citizen, with special emphasis on the regulatory framework in these sectors that the community may feel disengaged with. The presence of an excellent regulatory structure will not only protect consumers but also serve investors by levelling the playing field. Therefore, it is mandatory that the above subject is introduced to the public discourse. The report is specially designed to initiate dialogue, encourage specialists to conduct further research and advocate for policy change. The synthesized knowledge in the report will be the basis for future advocacy and training by TISL. The chapters have been compiled by internal authors, with the guidance of experts in the nine fields discussed. They have been reviewed by an internal editorial panel as well as external subject experts to ensure a high standard. I wish to thank all the authors and reviewers for the compilation of excellent texts. I also commend the coordinating efforts of Ms. Nathasha Jayawardene and the TISL research team for working with great diligence to ensure that the Governance Report 2011 was compiled in time for International Anti- Corruption Day.
