The aim of this initiative strives to build a grounded view of the effects of the crises in people’s lives, to explore the challenges on core assumptions that are on development and to surface new ideas emerging in different sectors in the wake of the crisis.

This article is the result of conversations among a group of development professionals associated with the Centre for Poverty Analysis (CEPA) in Sri Lanka, around questions of the values with which CEPA conduct work and what this means for CEPA’s practices.
