The assessment monitored 30 key promises made in the 2024 presidential election manifesto and includes the 2026 Budget, but was completed prior to Cyclone Ditwah.
The promises tracked by the Anura Meter were selected based on their high public interest and national significance. They span key policy areas including economic reform, governance, anti-corruption, law and order, and social protection.
The Anura Meter is a best-effort initiative by Manthri.lk to improve transparency around the fulfilment of election promises. It was preceded by ‘Maithri Meter’ and ‘Gota Meter’, which tracked the manifestos of Presidents Maithripala Sirisena and Gotabaya Rajapaksa respectively.
Seven of the 30 promises tracked by the Anura Meter were added based on public feedback. Manthri.lk invites the public to nominate additional promises that they believe warrant tracking.
Manthri.lk is Sri Lanka's only Parliamentary monitoring platform, and is managed by Verité Research, Sri Lanka’s largest independent think tank. The full updated status of all tracked promises is available in Sinhala, Tamil, and English at: https://manthri.lk/en/anura-meter.
