Welcome to the awardee video of Uva Provincial Council, Moneragala´s Age Friendly & Disabled Friendly City, a winner of the 2018 Zero Project Award on Accessibility.

Moneragala is a populous, less developed district in the Uva province of south-east Sri Lanka, with approximately 450,000 inhabitants. In 2011 the Uva Provincial Council – the provincial legislative assembly – developed a policy to achieve universal inclusion in this district by 2018, starting with the city of Wellawaya. The policy is addressing the gaps in accessibility to the built environment as well as targeting the inclusion of persons with disabilities and older persons. Since the start of the project, approximately 50,000 persons with disabilities have benefitted.
