The project has built the capacity of national level SED officers and the Department of Labour as well as district and divisional level SED officers.

title:

6. Promote the capacity building of relevant government officials dealing with MSEs. Consultations could be initiated by ILO with MoL, SED, and possibly the Ministry of Women’s Affairs, as well as with EFC and Trade unions (and perhaps also the Sri Lanka Chamber of SMEs). Considering the potential of the MSEs for economic growth and employment creation, it is essential to boost the development of the sector in a systematic manner by building the capacity of the relevant government officials who deal with them. This should include explicitly the Capacity Building of Divisional/District Level Officers as was learned through the present project implementation at the ground level.
