It is not a secret that we have had a society which had made it possible for our country to be the granary of the East, through harvesting maximum result and threating holistic strengths of nature as a god of success of agriculture. Ancient cultural policies clearly show us that wonders of life-styles prevailed which affectionately cared the environment by way of getting integrated in to the environment, which had been the wonderful legacy of the nature. I observe that the introduction of a Code of Ethics by the National Action Front of Voluntary Services Organizations, which is involved in lining-up the people in to correct path, while reminding their values to the present society with the service to the people it offers as a special feature. I wish that the Code of Ethics would be an important support to the network of voluntary Service Organization, in preserving of trustworthiness and the transparency related too activities pertaining to alleviation of pervert.

Voluntary organizations have been playing a major role in protecting the rights of citizens in Sri Lanka as well as uplifting their social and economic states since the past. By supporting fulfilling, the responsibilities of the government. As well as they implementing project directly. This role is fulfilled by the voluntary organizations in the middle pf many hardships. That is why they have been received international recognition.

Although there are many non-governmental organization and networks operating in Sri Lanka, NGO National Action Front can be described as a main network that exists to strengthen of voluntary organizations. Therefore, let’s all work hard to strengthen to continue this network.

National Non-Governmental Action Front (NNAF), established with the strength of justice and development is a national level network of 21 district level consortiums of non-governmental and civil society organizations. Approximately 400 NGOs/CSOs are affiliated as members and actively functioning with the 21 district consortiums.  This is a national level network functining since 1995 in order to empower and strengthen voluntary as well as  citizenry activism.

At present, we are experiencing positive results of the long term struggles launched by people aimed to promote feasible social culture.  We consider that it is our primary role and responsibility to further safegurad the democracy that was strengthen through sacrificing blood and tears for the benefit of our future generation. Therefore, we greatly appreciate the commitments and contributions of the district consortiums and its member organizations who are providing leadership to NNAF.      

We acknowledge with gratitude, the contribution made by prominent social activist Dr. W.P.P. Abeydheera for initiating the  conceptualization of the idea and establishing the  NNAF. Dr. Abeydeera contributed hugely to establish and strengthen NNAF while he was functioning as the Executive Director of the Sri Lanka Centre for Development Facilitation (SLCDF). At present the NNAF in partnership with the SLCDF is engaged in promoting Voluntary Code of Ethics and Conduct to NGOs/CSOs in order to stregethen their social missions. 

The NNAF is involved in strengthening democracy in the country through intervening citizen’s socio, economic, cultural and political issues in collaboration with other national level networks fuctioning in the country.
