More than 400 estate sector people from four estates received documents such as birth certificates, death certificates, certificate of non-registration and national identity cards from two mobile clinics under NPC’s project sustaining peace through pluralism and inclusive service delivery funded by Freedom House. The marriages of several couples were also legally registered.

The mobile clinics were conducted in collaboration with several government institutions and officials as well as police officers who issued clearance certificates that were required for some of the documents.

The benefits of the programme will continue since the link between the government institutions and the people in the estates has been established and they will be able to access services efficiently and effectively.

“With the support of NPC, we were able to identify the beneficiaries and to provide assistance with transport, making this humanitarian service a success. I appreciate NPC’s support in a situation where government officials time and resources are limited,” said Ms. Thanuja, the integration officer of the Imbulpe Divisional Secretariat.
