Centre for Poverty Analysis (CEPA)

The Peace and Conflict Timeline (PACT) project is an interactive online timeline of the Sri Lankan conflict, aiming to help those with an interest in the conflict gain a deeper understanding of its roots, manifestation and trajectory.  It has two broad aims: (1) to be used as a resource to help those with an interest in the Sri Lankan conflict gain a deeper understanding of the history and current manifestation of the conflict; and (2) to encourage dialogue between stakeholders to the Sri Lankan conflict in order to elicit different perspectives on events relating to peace and conflict. PACT is a participatory project, designed as a ‘living conversation’, evolving through users’ engagement with the timeline.
