Prime Group, Sri
Lanka’s 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.
It
aims to empower and build capacity among local government officials by
providing training and knowledge-sharing programs, strengthening service
delivery, transparency, and innovation in local authorities, carried out under
the consultation of Dr. Krishantha Pathiraja.
This
collaborative effort is a flagship project under Prime Group’s corporate social
responsibility platform, ‘Prime Rajya Sewa Abhiman’, underscoring the Group’s
ongoing commitment to meaningful community development and responsible
corporate citizenship.
The MoU signing
marks a historic milestone, with FSLGA Chief Executive Hemanthi Goonasekera
recognizing it as the first major public-private partnership of its kind
between a national local government body and a leading private sector real
estate brand.
Prime
Group Chairman, Brahmanage Premalal stated, “At Prime Group, we believe
nation-building starts with empowered public servants. This MoU is more than a
partnership; it’s a commitment to strengthening the backbone of local
governance. By investing in capacity building and knowledge sharing, we’re
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’t just a responsibility, it’s part of
our DNA”.
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.
At
the signing of the MOU, FSLGA Chief Executive, Hemanthi Goonasekera noted, “The
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”.
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.
