The First Multidisciplinary Centre for Training, Research and Community Development Work in Sri Lanka
- Home

The Colombo University Community Extension Centre is Sri Lanka’s first multidisciplinary centre in a university devoted to community development activities. The centre undertakes challenging and innovative research and offers relevant training on key social and economic development issues and also functions as a centre for information exchange, dissemination and debate and links to the national as well as regional level policy making process and community level development activities.

The centre provides for the first time an organized framework to mobilize the diverse intellectual resources of the country’s metropolitan university in order to create a stimulating environment for the professionals to collaborate and participate in training, and action-oriented research in community development activities.
 

International Collaboration

The CUCEC plans to establish links with potential partner organizations in developed and developing countries in research and training. The centre had developed previously formal links with Ryukoku University, Japan and Japan International Cooperation Agency and informal links with several other institutions in Asia and Europe.

Financial Resources

The CUCEC at present is entirely self-financing. It generates funds from two major sources: research and advisory services; training and education. The principal clients of the centre are government agencies, regional and local authorities, donors and international agencies.
