Abstract: Following the end of Sri Lanka’s three-decade-long conflict, the nation embarked on a challenging journey of post-conflict development and reconstruction. This study examines the critical role of communication and media in navigating the complexities of post-war development. Using phenomenological methods, the study presents a diagnostic analysis from a communication perspective, exploring the intricate political, economic, and social factors influencing post-conflict development management in Sri Lanka. Additionally, the research highlights the experiences of grassroots communities in employing communication tools to enhance good governance, poverty alleviation, and economic development initiatives. These findings highlight the importance of communication and media in empowering communities to actively participate in the planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of development programmers. They provide valuable insights into effective strategies for creating sustainable development in post-conflict contexts.
