Message from Mission Director Rebecca Cohn

Thank you for visiting our website.

USAID remains committed to its assistance programs in Sri Lanka despite the renewed conflict. We believe the residual effects of civil strife such as internal displacement, economic hardship, and compromised human rights make our programs all the more important to Sri Lanka.

Given this new reality, USAID has developed an updated strategy to deliver assistance better suited to the dynamics of development assistance to conflict-affected populations. We will launch this strategy to run parallel with programs developed under our previous strategy through 2007, and we will complete our $134 million Tsunami Reconstruction Program by mid 2008.

Key Programs

USAID Sri Lanka has created a new two-pronged strategy to support the positive transformation in the Eastern Province and adjoining districts by developing the regional economy and local private sector investment opportunities, as well as strengthening local government and increasing citizen participation in the governance process. The new 2008-2012 strategy is based on the approach that economic growth can contribute to building social and economic security to help establish conditions conducive to a political solution through focusing on regional needs, but also works at the national level, from which many of the most critical democracy, governance and conflict mitigation issues emanate.
