Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka is an island nation located along major maritime trade routes in the Indian Ocean. Following democratic elections in 2015, the end of 26 years of conflict in 2009 and a decade of recovery from a devastating tsunami in 2004, the country has entered a new era.

Sri Lanka now focuses on strengthening its democracy, promoting reconciliation and fostering sustainable economic growth.

The U.S. Government has been providing  development and humanitarian assistance to Sri Lanka since 1956 in the areas of agriculture, environment and natural resources, health, education, business development and trade, good governance, and humanitarian assistance.
