With the beginning war in Sri Lanka, HI has also relocated its operations to the Northern Province, delivering post conflict assistance and responding to the needs of IDPs, through a physical rehabilitation project. HI made further projects to integrate Rehabilitation Service to the Public Health system. From 2011, HI broadened its scope of intervention: livelihood, inclusive sports, inclusive Disaster Risk Management, support to rehabilitation professionals and CBR stakeholders, etc. Following the coalition government elected in 2015 fresh political will to address structural inequalities and national reconciliation, widely supported by the international community, HI shifted its action to address reconciliation issues, including transitional justice and reducing inequalities via inclusive economic development programming.
