With funding through a grant from the United States Department of State, EWMI and its local partner, the Center for Public Policy (CPP), provided free legal advice to underserved and needy citizens in the northern sections of Sri Lanka which have been severely affected by the ongoing civil war there. The project helped citizens who could not otherwise afford representation settle land disputes, resolve domestic conflicts, and obtain documentation from the government that they need in order to return to their lands. EWMI’s assistance consisted of funding to pay for lawyers, the provision of training to lawyers, and support for public outreach and education.
