    INTRODUCTION

    Sri Lanka is small country situated in the Indian Ocean. And also it is a developing country

    with the population over twenty million. It contains with 25 administrative districts and 4 major

    nations and 4 major religions. From district to district there are huge differences in population,

    income distribution, poverty level, unemployment, education and many more fields.

    According to international standards and measurements our country is still developing third

    world country. People who suffer from poverty is at a considerably high level. And the country

    suffered from a bloody terrorism and civil war during previous three decades. Due to that war

    thousands of people lost their lives, houses and properties. And also thousands civilians and soldiersof our army were disabled due to this war. Because of these reasons country is unable to reach its

    development targets and people of the country unable to increase their living condition.

    There a lot of local and foreign organizations were established in Sri Lanka to help the

    economy of the country and people who need help. In every year they launch number of projects in

    Sri Lanka. Most of them are situated in the Colombo and near suburbs and operate around limited

    area.

    Most of the times they unable to select people who actually need some help and they didnt

    reach to some areas which have lower income rate than to other areas. And the other thing is there is

    no proper platform for the individuals to help people. And some people dont like to spend money

    for charity works because those programs dont have a transparent procedure to collect funds.

    And also there is no proper ways to people in rural areas ask for a help and to people who like

    to do donations. So our attempt is to introduce web based solution to link people who need a help

    and people who like to donate.

    SCOPE OF THE PROJECT

    In Sri Lanka since the independence there are a lot of unsolved problems. Such as poverty,

    unemployment, inequality of education, disabilities among peoples and so on. Due to various kind of

  • 8/3/2019 E-Sathkara Group 04

    7/29

    e-Business Technologies And Applications Group 04

    7 | P a g e

    reasons government and other responsible parties were able to find fixed solutions to those

    problems.

    In this project we chose three major problem areas as our scope of the project. They are

    1. Poverty

    2. Unemployment

    3. Disabilities among people

    4. Inequality in education

    REASONS OF SELECTING THESE PROBLEMS

    Not limited to a certain area or nationality.

    These problems affect the countrys economy in several ways.

    Actions which are taken such as Samurdhi to solve these problems are not sufficient

    These problems are the roots of so many other problems.

    Effort of the government authorities is not enough to solve these problems

    Problem like disabilities among people will exist in the society for ever. Because we cannot

    solve that type problem completely. The thing that we have to do is to help those people.

    When concerning above problems we can determine that these problems not affect to a single

    person in a family but to everyone in the family.

    BACKGROUND OF SELECTED PROBLEMS

    In this project we hope to address the problems which we mentioned above. To get a clear

    picture about those problems the following statistic will be useful.

    POVERTY

    According to Department of Census and Statistical of Sri Lanka the poverty level of the

    country in 2009/2010 is 8.9%. The meaning of that for every 100 people of my country there are

  • 8/3/2019 E-Sathkara Group 04

    8/29

    e-Business Technologies And Applications Group 04

    almost 9 people havent enough income for continue their lives. Though it is a 41% reduction in just

    three years (2006/2009=15.2%), still in many districts the poverty level remains over 10%.

    By examining the graph below we can see that poverty level of most of the districts is at high

    level. But the poverty level in the western zone of the country is very low.

    Lanka)

    UNEMPLOYMENT

    According to statistics of the same department unemployment rate of the country is 5.8%. It

    means for every 100 people who belong to 14-60 age category there are almost six people who

    haven't jobs. So it is very serious problem for the development of country. Below mentioned graph

    DISABILITIES AMONG PEOPLE

    As we know Sri Lanka had been faced to a thirty year war. Due to that thousands of people

    were died and a lot of people been fully disabled. And also there are a lot of other people who bornwith some disabilities and various kind of accidents in every year produce considerable amount of

    disable people.

    In 2000, it is estimated that there were about 776,000 people with disabilities or about 4.1

    percent of the total population.Other than that in 2009 Ministry of Defense announced that over

    29000 soldiers were disabled due to civil war during 1983 to 2009.

    Fellow table mentioned the disabilities among people according to the finding ofCensus of

    INEQUALITY IN EDUCATION

    When we concern structure of schools in Sri Lanka we can divide them in to 3 main categories

    1. National schools

    2. Navodya schools

    3. Provincial schools

    Maha Vidyala

    Madya Maha Vidyala

    Following table shows the amount of schools in each category and the percentage.

    School Type Schools Students Teachers

    No % No % No %

    National schools 324 3.3 676,127 17.6 30,684 15.0

    Navodya schools 457 4.7 472,735 12.3 22,204 10.8

    Provincial schools 8,933 92.0 2,687,688 70.1 152,020 74.2

    All schools 9,714 100.0 3,836,550 100.0 204,908 100.0

    Based on School Census report -2006 prepared by static branch of Ministry of Education

    By examining the table you can see that there are only 324 National schools in Sri Lanka but

    the problem is most of the resources are been centric around these schools. While the some school

    having the highest facilities, some village schools havent enough class rooms to continue the studies

    The report says that there are over 2000 schools which have 10 or below amount of teachers.

    And also it says that the most of the graduated teachers are in the Western Province.16.0 percent of

    all schools have less than 51 students.

    STRATEGY DEVELOPMENT

    Considering the back ground of the problem it is clear that there are thousands of people who

    need help. It is a big issue for a developing country like Sri Lanka. Government cannot alone search

    solutions for these problems. As a nation, as a country we have to search for solutions in order to

    improve their living conditions.

    As university students, we felt that we should be done some sort of effort to help these

    people. As BICT students we try to solve this problem by giving a solution where we can make a

    bridge between the people who need help and people who are willing to help. Our solution is a web

    based system called esathkara which has designed forMinistry of Social Services and Social

    Welfare.. So this site will be under the governing body of the ministry.

    E-SATHKARA

    This site will help to connect two parties who willing to help and who need help.

    Who will be listed in this site

    o Disable people

    o

    Schools with lack of resourceso People who need financial aid

    o Who need support for health issues

    o Poor students who need of study materials

    o Homeless people

    o Orphan children

    o Simply anyone who disserve help

    Donors can find the people who need help and they can directly contact them.

    Sri Lankans in foreign countries can also use this site. They can contact the Ministry of

    Social Services and Social Welfare for further details.

    People can rely on this site because all the details of the people who have asked for help should

    submit their applications trough the Gramasewaka and they should mention about two non related

    reputed people where donors can inquire about them. Also donors can go and directly contact the

    people who they help.

    HOW IT WORKS?

    First any who want to get help through this site should submit his application, relevant

    documents (medical certificates, birth certificate, identity card copy, photographs, and letter

    of giving permission to publish in the site) to Gramasewaka.

    Then gramsewaka check if that request is a reasonable one. If its reasonable then heapproves it and sends that application to divisional secretarys office.

  • 8/3/2019 E-Sathkara Group 04

    14/29

    e-Business Technologies And Applications Group 04

    14 | P a g e

    In the divisional secretaries office those applications will be categorized by the aid type they

    want and will be uploaded to site.

    When donors visit the site they can find the people who has requested for help. Then they can

    directly contact them or if they wish they can help them through Ministry of Social Services

    and Social Welfare.

    Donors from other countries can do donations by contacting the inquiry officers through the

    site.

    Donors are requested to inform the Gramasewaka officer of the area about the major

    donations they made. So gramasewaka officers will inform the divisional secretary office

    about the completed aid requests. Then those profiles will be removed from the site.

    User can also make donations to the eSathkara fund using bank accounts or credit cards.

    Annually people will be selected to help by the fund.

    Examiner officers appointed by the eSathkara division will be doing investigation and

    random checks to avoid corruptions and irregularities involving in the system.

    Records and statics in the eSathkara database will be used for future welfare activities of the

    government and for relevant studies.

    FEATURES OF THE SITE

    LINKAGE SOLUTION TO E-BUSINESS

    We can take this system as a C2C (consumer to consumer) e Business. Because in this

    system there are two consumers (donors and help seekers) and those two consumers are facilitated by

    a third party (eSathkara) to do interaction. Since eSathkara site is maintained by the government and

    charity based project there is no charging of a flat fee or commission like in normal C2C e

    Businesses. And also government takes appropriate action and the responsibility to avoid fraud and

    irregularities rather than being an ordinary intermediate.

    ANALYSIS OF THE SOLUTION

    We analyze the proposed solution through the external and environment. And we do the

    analysis to make sure that this system is achieved its mission.

    MOST ANALYSIS

    organization does. In a consulting role, it helps you frame questions, starting from the high-level

    mission of the organization and digging right down to the detail of individual tactics. When

    planning, it is useful to ensure that all bases are covered and that there is a logical connection from

    the mission to tactics.

    STRENGTH

    Attributes of the project those are helpful to achieving the project objective.

    This system is directly government involved system

    There is not much cost spend to the people who work with this system. They are already paid

    people by the government

    Do not need any extra work space to develop this project

    Because of the government involvement system can get the publicity using government

    media.

    New technology is being applied so the human effort is low

    Donors in other countries can also contribute.

    Can get information of the people who need help in whole country through gramasewaka

    officers

    Donors can donate anything they prefer

    Donors can donate any amount they wish to the accounts made by the system.

    They can personally donate if they like by directly meeting the help requested people

    The success stories about donations are publish in the web site

    The help needed people get help easily through this system Donors can get publicity of their donations if they wish to.

    Examiners are there to minimize the fraud actions.

    WEAKNESS

    Attributes of the project those are harmful to achieving the objective.

    Some people who work with the system may not have much knowledge about the system.

    Gramasewaka officers can not directly connect to the system

    Need additional cost to maintain the system and salaries of officers.

    It may take some time to publish the requests in the site.

    It adds extra effort and a burden for gramasewaka officers.

    Only donors who use internet will be able to get the maximum use.

    Since this is a new concept, much of initial publicity will be needed for this site

    OPPORTUNITIES

    Externalconditions those are helpful to achieving the project objective.

    Can help to increase the image value of the department

    Maintaining a database is a needed requirement so it will help to provide information and

    statics to other parties.

    It will help to change work environment of the Divisional Secretaries offices.

    It is a good opportunity to train the employees how to interact with different types of people

    And also it will help to increase the IT and Communicational knowledge of employees.

    There is possible opportunity to link Divisional Secretaries offices.

    And this project will provide the opportunity for the Ministry of Social Services and Social

    Welfare. to understand the burning problems of Sri Lanka deeply.

    THREATS

    Externalconditions which could do damage to the project objective.

    Inefficiency of the government sector will be a barrier to success of the project

    Latency in government offices.

    Usually government servants are conservative so they will not like to participate in training

    programs which delivers the competence that they need to work with the system.

    Some laws, government regulations and acts will make problems for the success of the

    project.

    People who have the little knowledge about technology will not feel comfort with this type of

    solution.

    Authorized people who create user accounts for the disable people have chance to create fake

    accounts.

    PEST ANALYSIS

    PEST analysis is the one of the most commonly used tool to analysis external environment

    of a business. by doing a pest analysis we can identify what are the political, economical, social and

    technical factors in the external environment which influence the business organization. Though it is

    e-Business Technologies And Applications Group 04

    26 | P a g e

    mostly used for analysis an organizations business environment it also can be used to analyze the

    feasibility of strategic decisions and procedures

    So we used pest analysis to analysis the external environment factors which influence our

    proposed solution.

    Political

    Economical

    Sociological

    Technological

    POLITICAL FACTOR

    As this is a system which is developed to enhance the coordination between donors and aid

    required people that provide community development services in developing countries,

    government stability may be a key issue to the ongoing provision of future services.

    This project is totally controlled through the government organizations. The attitude of thegovernment and the stability of the government directly affect the success of the project.

    Taxation policies may have either a positive or negative impact on the likelihood of donors

    continuing to donate and on the organization obtaining new donors. Because most of

    equipments produced for the disable people such as wheel chairs, artificial legs and arms etc.

    are imported from foreign countries. Because of the increase of the customs duty it can be

    affected to the donations of these equipments.

    And also when foreign donors donate equipments these custom duty taxation are influence tothose donations.

    When considering the monitory donations, if government increased the taxes like income tax

    people can be demotivated for monitory donations.

    There are some government regulations and limitations for publishing images and other

    visual data so our system has that facility to upload these things and we have to consider

    about the limitations and regulations.

    All the employees are government servants, so if the change of government policy will affect

    direct to the system

    ECONOMIC FACTORS

    We have to consider about Business cycles, GNP trends, Exchange rates, Money supply, cost

    of living and inflation, unemployment trends and disposable income levels when reviewing

    the economic factors likely to impact on systems like these projects.

    A decrease in disposable income may result in decreased donations and memberships of the

    project or related activities in charity.

    Economic growth of the country affects the system because if the economic growth of the

    country goes down poverty of the country will be increased. And also donations for the

    project will go down.

    When GNP trends go high it will affect on the project in a positive way by getting more

    downers.

    Changes in exchange rates will affect on this project in 2 ways. When the rate goes high we

    will get a large some of donations but in the same time we may have to spend much more to

    day to day activities.

    The rise of unemployment level, in parallel way the amount of refugees and percentage of

    low income families may go high. Due to this reason the level of getting donations will go

    down and requests for donation may go high.

    SOCIO-CULTURE FACTORS

    Lifestyle changes, population demographics, social mobility, attitudes towards work, leisure,

    health consequences, consumerism and levels of education are the sectors that we have to

    consider when discuss about socio-cultural factors that may affect the macro environment

    and the government projects which is for social activities.

    The activities of proposed system may leads to many life style changes, attitude towards

    work, leisure consumerism in future. Because downers may focus into to charity activities in

    many ways like funding, donating goods for self employment industries, etc.

    And also some donors may intend to develop education in rural areas which will totally

    impact on enhancing the level of education.

    As a positive impact of this system, it will enhance the quality of health consequences.

    28/29

    28 | P a g e

    Age distribution is a major factor when discussing about socio-cultural factors. Because if

    there are a lot of elder people in the society they will ask for help from the system because

    there are lot of disabilities among them.

    .

    TECHNOLOGICAL FACTORS

    Technological factors include the focus on technological effort, new discoveries, speed of

    transfer and rates of obsolescence and technology incentives and the rate of technological

    change.

    For the proposed system, this may mean that new methods of reaching donors, volunteers and

    supporters. So they may need to be tactical enough find the target using new technology as

    internet, mobile technology effects and social media including such as Twitter and Facebook.

    In order to use new forms of technology, hardware may need to be updated at significant

    costs and training may need to be provided to staff. When investigating the impact of

    technology on a project, a review of the current technology items owned by the organization.

    For this system it is not necessary to have a very complex technical knowledge or expensive

    hardware, since a person who knows how to work with simple computer system and whoknows bit about internet can work with a normal personal computer for the proposed system.

    CONCLUSION

    According to international slandered and measures Sri Lanka is a developing country. And

    there is lots of burning unsolved problems in Sri Lanka. There are several organizations were

    established to help the people who suffering from these problems. But the actions they have been

    taken so far is not sufficient.

    The main problem is there is no proper linkage between these donors and suffered people.

    And there is rare opportunity to single individuals to ask for a help form someone and donate some

    thing to someone.

    So our main objective is to bridge those help needed parties and people who like to donate

    something for somebody. For that we proposed a web based solution.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technological_changehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technological_changehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technological_changehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technological_changehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technological_change

    Our scope is to provide help to poverty, unemployment, disabilities and education. So we

    analysed about those problems. And we used SWOT, PEST and MOST analysis techniques to

    analysis the solution.

    And our web based solution is most similar to a Consumer to Consumer e-business solutiontype.

    We built a prototype to simulate how this solution can be implemented. And also to simulate

    job responsibilities and procedures.

    We hope that after implementing this type of solution people can ask for a help from

    somebody and the people who like to donate they can donate directly.
