World Bank support for education sector
View(s):World Bank Vice President for South Asia Martin Raiser has pledged support for education programmes in the country.
Mr Raiser concluded a 2-day visit to Sri Lanka this week where he met with President Anura Kumara Dissanayake, Prime Minister Harini Amarasuriya and other government officials, private investors, and development partners to discuss the country’s ongoing efforts towards economic recovery and long-term growth.

“The World Bank is committed to supporting Sri Lanka’s development agenda, particularly in the areas of poverty reduction, digital transformation, and sustainability,” said Martin Raiser. “We look forward to financing projects that will have a direct impact on improving the livelihoods of the Sri Lankan people.”
