SOCIETY, JUSTICE AND RIGHTS

We work in partnership with government and civil society in the areas of democracy, law, human rights, gender equality, management and economic reforms.

Our work with both government and civil society is to advance debate, share knowledge and skills and seek to create a wider appreciation of the UK as a valued partner in addressing key reform agendas and promoting sustainable development.

YOUTH YATRA

The Youth Yatra project for Reflection and Action for Change is funded by the European Union and managed by the British Council along with partners in Finland, India, Sri Lanka and the UK. The project aims at building the capacity of young people (between 18-30 years) to create a culture of sustainability through inter-cultural dialogue.Click here to find out more.
