| Intersectoral Action for the Health in Addressing Social Determinants of Health through Public Policies in Sri Lanka: Health in All Policies | |||||
Authors: Samanthi Bandara, Naomi Jayaratne, Sunimalee Madurawala Health permeates all aspects of social life. This factor is now being recognized in public policies, with health being included as a policy concern in every governance sector. Health in All Policies (HiAP) is well recognized as a Policy Practice, which emphasizes the need of including and integrating the health component in other policies during the policy formulation, implementation, and evaluation. Consequently, this policy practice requires a mechanism with the joint leadership within governments, across all sectors, and between levels of government. Therefore, many countries within the region and out have made concerted efforts to integrate health considerations into other public policies which have an impact on health. Sri Lanka currently does not have an integrated governance tool which deals with health in other public policies through policy formulation, implementation and evaluation at a national level. However, it is observed that there are fragmented committees and task forces which address various health issues at different levels. |

| Impacts of 2011 Tax Reforms on Tax Revenues and Redistribution in Sri Lanka | |||||
|
Authors: Nisha Arunatilake, Priyanka Jayawardena and Anushka Wijesinha The need to reduce budget deficits by increasing government revenues has been a challenge faced by the Sri Lankan government for some time. The 2011 tax reforms basically aimed to increase tax revenues by expanding the tax base - particularly by removing tax exemptions for public sector employees - while keeping the tax rates “competitive”. At the same time, tax rates have been reduced with the aim of improving tax compliance of PAYE (new reformed tax scheme) tax payers.
