Cloud Civil Administration

Tier A World Bank baseline: 'Although Sri Lanka has made significant progress in social and economic development over the past decade, the Northern and Eastern provinces that faced the brunt of the decades-long conflict remain disproportionately poor and face unique economic challenges.' Structural baseline for the Graduate Return Index (GRI) numerator (N-E graduates outside the N-E civilian labour market). 2018 data, pre-2022 economic crisis.

Tier A global benchmark on digital public-service provision across all 193 UN Member States, including multilingual service-access principles. Sri Lanka's EGDI score retrievable from UNDESA data portal. TLTE cites this as a REFERENCE STANDARD for what civilian digital administration should deliver — not as evidence that TLTE operates, hosts, or governs any e-government platform. The Cloud Civil Administration architecture is a published target, never a deployed service.

OECD comparative data on public-service digitalisation, trust in public institutions, citizen satisfaction with public services across OECD and partner countries. Reference standard for accessible, digitised civilian administration. Sri Lanka is not an OECD member; cited as a normative benchmark only.

UN authoritative framework on civilian-police roles in DDR and post-conflict settings: separation of police from military functions, civilian oversight, community policing standards. Cited by TLTE as a NORMATIVE REFERENCE for what civilian policing should look like — never as a deployable blueprint. Sri Lanka has no UN peace operation; the standards are applied as a benchmark.

175-recommendation framework for post-conflict civilian-policing reform in Northern Ireland — canonical reference for community accountability, representative recruitment, separation from security-force culture. TLTE cites as COMPARATIVE FRAME ONLY: the NI context required a negotiated peace agreement, parliamentary legislation, and sustained international monitoring — none exist in Sri Lanka. Never to be presented as a model that 'could' be applied without those preconditions.

WJP Rule of Law Index global benchmark across constraints on government powers, absence of corruption, open government, fundamental rights, order and security, regulatory enforcement, civil and criminal justice. Tier A reference for the anti-corruption desk section. Sri Lanka country profile retrievable directly; sub-indicators support the structural-deficit framing without TLTE computing its own score.
