Rural vocational training in Asia and the Pacific: Master Craftsmen Learning Scheme, Sri Lanka

This report documents and analyses one example of a successful rural vocational training scheme. The Master Craftsmen Learning Scheme (MCLS) was introduced to rehabilitate a wide and varied range of traditional trades and crafts in Sri Lanka.
