EvaluvationAlthough at the beginning of the year the Project planned to conduct residential andintroductory programmes, the Project was not able to carry them out effectively. Eighttraining programmes were carried out by some regions but in some regions they werenot able to carry out such programmes as planned.The regional Officers mentioned that all the HRAs do not participate in their workenthusiastically. Many left the programme as soon as they obtain an employment. Sothere should be incentives that would make them effectively involved in the Projectactivities and it was also suggested that the methods to enroll them should beevaluated so that only the truly enthusiastic will only be part of the HRAs team.From the side of the Project there were instances where the Project failed to carry outeffective communication with the HRAs. In future the Project should try to establish aneffective communication network with the IDPs.Annual Report 2004National Protection and Durable Solutions for Internally Displaced Persons ProjectHuman Rights Commission of Sri Lanka22
