A two day conference on the theme ‘Delivering Inclusive and Sustainable Development' was held on the 9th and 10th of April. The event was organised by the Colombo based South Asia Policy and Research Institute, an independent, non-partisan ‘think tank' in partnership with the Centre for Policy Research in New Delhi. The objective of the Conference was to address the challenges of ensuring equitable development for all peoples living within a country, through inclusive growth. Many panellists presented findings from their studies citing examples of policies, programmes and interventions that had achieved equitable development as well as social and political inclusivity and thereby achieved high economic growth, political stability and peace. The colloquium addressed subjects related to: Recent Global Economic Developments - Impact on South Asia, Sustainable Development, Identity and Inclusion, Horizontal Inequalities and Conflict, Education and Health Services for all, Identity and Exclusion, The State and Inclusivity and Education-Key to Promote Respect for Diversity.
