Economic Growth
Coir spinners are a vital link in the value chain credit: USAID
USAID seeks to spur economic growth for all in Sri Lanka through technical assistance to the government and private industry. USAID strongly believes that the private sector is and important engine for economic growth in Sri Lanka and is building on its successful track record in leveraging private sector funding for relief and development following the tsunami of December 2004 to generate additional public private partnerships, foster stability, provide jobs, and jump-start much needed economic growth, particularly in Sri Lanka’s Eastern Province.
At the end of 2008, USAID launched a new multi-year program, Connecting Regional Economies (CORE). The new program, coupled with expanded public private partnerships, is geared to conflict affected areas and focuses on improving competitiveness and economic revitalization.
