New Mission Director for USAID in Sri Lanka
Reed J. Aeschliman assumed duties as the new Mission Director of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) for Sri Lanka and Maldives on March 5, 2018. Mr. Aeschliman's arrival corresponds with the start-up of several new initiatives and more than 4.5 billion Sri Lankan rupees in programs that advance youth employability, rule of law, and reconciliation in Sri Lanka, the US Embassy in Colombo stated.
Since 1956, the United States Government has provided more than $2 billion (approximately 300 billion LKR) in development and humanitarian assistance that has benefited Sri Lankans across the country, the embassy said. This assistance has made meaningful impact on inclusive economic growth, good governance reforms, and recovery from humanitarian crises, it added.
"I am honored to work in partnership with the Government and people of Sri Lanka and Maldives to be more effective with U.S. development assistance, expand the assistance to the people who need it the most, and strengthen partnerships and cooperation with the United States," said Mr. Aeschliman.
