This MoU is more than a partnership; it\u2019s a commitment to strengthening the backbone of local governance. By investing in capacity building and knowledge sharing, we\u2019re enabling local government officers to deliver with greater efficiency, accountability, and foresight. As a proudly Sri Lankan company, contributing to the growth of our public institutions isn\u2019t just a responsibility, it\u2019s part of our DNA\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>To date, under the Rajya Sewa Abhiman initiative, training programs have been successfully conducted in Gampaha and Negombo, equipping over 150 public servants with essential soft skills, communication techniques, and positive behavioural approaches aimed at enhancing their overall effectiveness.<\/p>\n<p>At the signing of the MOU, FSLGA Chief Executive, Hemanthi Goonasekera noted, \u201cThe responsibilities of Local Authorities are vast, spanning the entire lifecycle of a human, from womb to tomb. Therefore, continuously strengthening the capacities of officers and members across all 341 Local Authorities is essential. This is a challenge that the government cannot face alone. In this context, it is truly commendable that the private sector recognizes its social responsibility to support and strengthen local governance. We extend our sincere gratitude to Prime Group for their meaningful collaboration with us in this important effort\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>This groundbreaking partnership between Prime Group and FSLGA marks a new era of public-private collaboration to uplift local governance. It reflects a shared commitment to empowering public servants and strengthening community impact across Sri Lanka.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prime Group, Sri Lanka\u2019s leading real estate conglomerate, has entered into a landmark Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Federation of Sri Lankan Local Government Authorities (FSLGA) recently to launch a comprehensive capacity-building initiative for local government officers across the island.
