Sri Lanka
The Challenge
The Government of Sri Lanka faces multiple political and development challenges including the longstanding ethnic conflict, low levels of foreign direct investment, low levels of productivity and competitiveness, and poor opportunities for youth. In response to these challenges, USAID is providing assistance in the promotion of the peace process, accelerating economic growth, developing a workforce that meets the needs of key growth industries, and advancing democracy and human rights in the long-term. Progress was undermined by the December 2004 tsunami that caused major implementation delays in USAID’s program. USAID must also contend with uncertainties regarding the policies of a newly elected President and Administration and the tenuous and continually tested ceasefire agreement.
