    Impact Assessment As a Result of The 1 KM Sacred Area Rule On Liquor Sales
    (2013-09-06) Institute of Policy Studies of Sri Lanka
    Ad hoc approach to the subject of alcohol such as 1kmSacred Area Rule for Liquor Sales Outlets, reflects the fact that due to the lack of a coherent far sighted National Alcohol Policy, it drives away the important and valuable contribution of the legal alcohol industry, by creating dry areas to satisfy the need of illegal illicit manufacturers involved in a harmful venture to the society. It is pertinent to review this situation carefully and defer the implementation of the 1km Sacred Area Rule for Liquor Sales Outlet until the formulation of a National Policy on Alcohol, as provided in the National Authority on Tobacco and Alcohol Bill, taking into account policy recommendations envisaged in page 23, and until such time limiting the number of hours of operation of sale of liquor for affected outlets is suggested.

    Report on Policy and Practice: Sharing Lessons among Government, Civil Society and Private Sector
    (2013-09-05) Institute of Policy Studies of Sri Lanka
    This review of “Disaster Management: Policy and Practice” was conducted over three months by the Institute of Policy Studies of Sri Lanka in collaboration with and financial support from Oxfam America. It is intended to assist the government, NGOs and other stakeholders to improve disaster management in Sri Lanka. It is just over a year since the Parliamentary Select Committee on Natural Disasters presented their recommendations and it seems timely to review whether their recommendations have been implemented in practice. This report is based on an analysis of the legal and policy documents, interviews with stakeholders from government, civil society and the private sector, field visits in Ratnapura, Hambantota and Ampara, a workshop in Hambantota on 25 September 2006 and a national workshop in Colombo with over 90 participants on 28 September 2006.
