The government policy statement the “Economic Policy Framework of the Government of Sri Lanka (2004)” accords high priority to uplift the disadvantaged sectors of the population and underserved regions in the country. The policy statement stresses that all efforts should be made to bring the underserved areas on par with more developed regions of the country, such as the Western Province to ensure an equitable growth and development. It is in this context that the National Plan of Action for Children has been formulated to address the issues of children, particularly of less privileged children in the country. The overall objective of the National Plan of Action (NPA) for the children is to ensure universal access for services that children require for their full and free development as well as to provide them with the opportunity to develop a safe and enabling environment.
