The 9th annual symposium focused on involuntary displacement and resettlement. Resettlement in large scale is not new to Sri Lanka. Development projects like the Mahaweli Project, the Colombo-Matara highway have necessitated the physical and economic displacement of people in mass scale. This publication brings together lessons and analysis from the different types of displacement and resettlement issues to improve the policy and practice of the process.
