| Abstract (short description of the LED knowledge resource) | Sri Lanka is home to a myriad of people who suffered from displacement during the years of violent conflict. Disempowered and far from home, these people were often reduced to passive recipients of aid. Now, these displaced communities are being re-empowered and are finding their place in the emerging post-conflict national economy, through a farming cooperative that helps small producers of papaya access the competitive open market. |
