Invites public to contribute information and ideas to make it a success

Manthri.lk, a platform of Verité Research, has announced the launch of ‘Anura Metre,’ an online tracker that monitors the progress of selected promises made in the 2024 Presidential Election manifesto of President Anura Kumara Disanayake.

The 22 promises selected for tracking focus on proposals considered to be of high public interest and important in relation to economic reforms, governance, anti-corruption, law and order, and social protection.

Information to update the ‘Anura Metre’ is drawn from three sources: 1) what is found in published sources, 2) responses received to Right to Information (RTI) requests, and 3) credible information provided by users.

Users are invited to contribute with ideas and information by visiting the ‘Anura Metre’ on the Manthri.lk page.

The platform is a best-effort initiative by Verité Research to improve information sharing and democratic engagement. The ‘Anura Metre’ is maintained in all three Sri Lankan languages (Sinhala, Tamil, and English) to ensure broad accessibility.
