| Brief Description of Activities : | Info-SHARE was created with the belief that ICT and innovative media can help bridge communications gaps between the main stakeholders in the peace process and enable public participation in the process. Sources of information and communication on the ethno-political conflict and conflict transformation processes are extremely limited in Sri Lanka. This acute lack of information is exacerbated by serious problems of knowledge sharing in the peace process. Multiple initiatives and agendas, often overlapping each other and dovetailing into existing initiatives, operate within the broad framework of conflict transformation with little or no cohesion or holistic outlook. | ||
