USAID promoting economic growth in East launches website
An economic growth programme funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and focused on improving livelihoods and business opportunities in the eastern region of Sri Lanka, launched its official website at www.core.lk.
The USAID/Connecting Regional Economies (CORE) programme website provides information to the public about its work and highlights the people and communities benefiting from its activities. The user friendly USAID/CORE website allows easy access to the public, its partners and its beneficiaries.
The USAID/CORE project is part of the U.S government’s strategy to increase human and economic security in the east by promoting economic growth in areas affected by, and bordering, the conflict. USAID provided $13.5 million over three years for this economic growth program.
USAID/CORE has programme offices in Colombo, Trincomalee, Anuradhapura and Ampara, covering operations in the Eastern, North Central and Uva provinces.
The project teams work closely with implementing companies and beneficiaries to mobilise identified interventions in the dairy, agriculture, fisheries, tourism and other sectors.USAID/CORE creates linkages with private sector entrepreneurs, using an integrated approach through livelihood development, improved value chains, enhanced participation in value chain services, strengthened workforce development and the establishment of a positive business enabling environment.
The project seeks to improve the lives of its target beneficiaries through investment, employment, and income enhancement in the project areas.
