The main aim of this study by the International Federation of Red Cross (IFRC) and Red Crescent Societies is to understand better the problems of landlessness and homelessness in Sri Lanka, so that the assistance provided by the IFRC could be more targeted. In keeping with the terms of reference given by the IFRC, this paper attempts to address some key issues relating to landlessness and the state’s response to them.
