சாதி அடையாளமும் சேவைகளுக்கான அணுகலும் (Caste Identity and Access to Services)

Very little is known about how water, sanitation and education services are delivered to and accessed by people in the North, or about how class and caste dynamics come into play in access to basic services. In the absence of such knowledge, it is difficult to understand how such marginalised groups may build resilient livelihoods. The Centre for Poverty Analysis (CEPA), through funding from the Secure Livelihoods Research Consortium, conducted a study among two oppressed caste settlements in Jaffna to shed more light on this issue. The methodology included semi-structured interviews with community members, government officials, and service providers, further complemented by informal discussions and observations.
