Small Fishers Federation Lanka

Over the last decade the SFFL grew from a small NGO into a relative big federation covering more than 230 fisher communities in 5 districts in Sri Lanka. Since 1994 Terre des Hommes Netherlands (TdH NL) has been funding the activities of SFFL, including more than 10 different projects (not counting the relief and rehabilitation activities of the Tsunami). As the Federation is still expanding both SFFL and Tdh NL recognised the need for restructuring their activities. Previously it was decided that the different programmes, including the Social Economic Resource Centres (SERCs), will be systematically arranged into now 5 targeted districts Puttalam, Matara, Hambantota, and Moneragala For each district a detailed, comprehensive, result based development plan will be devised, based on context analysis and baseline data. The plan will include, among others, a logistical framework based on a clear intervention strategy, a schedule of activities, and a monitoring framework.
