Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka has shown resilience through recent fiscal and political crises, and a durable recovery depends on stronger institutions, greater public trust, and broad-based growth.

We work with government, civil society, grassroots organizations, and communities to strengthen governance and justice, expand economic opportunity, and advance women’s rights and well-being. In Sri Lanka, we draw on decades of trusted relationships to support recovery, rebuild public trust, and strengthen local resilience—while helping create new pathways for shared growth through environmental resilience, digital transformation, and future-economy skills.
