The collection covers reports from government departments, including the main publications of the Department of Census and Statistics and publications in the fields of development, poverty, social sciences, migration, the environment, climate change, and the role of the diaspora in post-conflict development.

CEPA’s online depository, Poverty Portal, is a gateway to macro and micro level information on poverty and development in Sri Lanka. It carries data and resources on poverty from a cross section of sources, and makes it easy to access poverty related information in one place. The mapping feature helps users to visualize poverty related data. One can also search for published documents and grey literature.
