DEVELOPMENT
PARTNERSHIP AND
EXTERNAL FINANCING
Section 1
DEVELOPMENT PARTNERSHIP
AND EXTERNAL FINANCING
OVERVIEW
he external financing provides resources

to bridge domestic savings-investment
gap as required investment levels for high
growth is large. The Government is committed
to maintain 6 percent of GDP annually for public
investment. At present about 40 percent of
the public investment expenditure is financed
through external financing.
Foreign financing has been mobilized to
develop road network with new expressways,
highways, water supply and irrigation systems,
power generation and transmission and
modernizing the education and health services
of the country. The capacity expansion of the
Colombo Port and Airport, construction of new
Port and International Airport in Hambantota,
construction of railways and other infrastructure
facilities too has been undertaken with external
resources. The reconstruction of the conflict
affected districts with similar facilities have also
supplemented by external financing by way of
loans and grants.
External financing arrangement in recent
years consists of concessional credit from IDA,
ADB, Japan, China, India, Korea, Saudi Arabia,
Kuwait and OFID. Semi concessional borrowings
from Exim Bank arrangements and market
borrowings to supplement available domestic
resources to finance import content and capacity
enhancement have alter the traditional shape of

external resources.
The Ministry of Finance and Planning has
formulated a "Framework for Mobilization
of External Finance in the Medium Term"
considering the need assessment and underlying
public investment strategy of the Government.
Accordingly, all such new borrowings for the
implementation of development projects are
required to undergo a comprehensive assessment
process prior to entering in to a formal agreement
with lenders.
With the country advancing towards an
upper middle income status, the availability of
concessional financing will become limited. As
such, the requirement for funds will have to
be supplemented through non concessional
borrowings which will include export credit,
commercial credit etc and tapping of international
capital markets to finance viable development
projects. Further, in diversifying its funding base,
the Government recognizes that the international
capital market provides ample opportunities for
increasing liquidity through both debt capital and
equity.
Major bilateral partners including China, India,
Japan, Middle East and multilateral partners
including World Bank (WB) and the Asian
Development Bank (ADB) will continue to perform
DEVELOPMENT PARTNERSHIP AND EXTERNAL FINANCING
as major development partners during the next 5

years in terms of their continued assistance and
ongoing projects.
Being an emerging middle income country
with steady increase of per capita income and
reduction of external debt in relation to the GDP,
Sri Lanka shared its development experience
with other countries through technical and
grant assistance programs. The Government has
provided grant assistance of USD 10 million to
the Government of Maldives for construction of
a 4.8 km long road using Sri Lankan constructors.

The Government has also extended technical
assistance to establish a Vocational and Technical
Training Centre in Uganda to improve their
vocational education. These initiatives will help
strengthen the friendship and bilateral relationship
between Sri Lanka and these countries. Initiatives
have also been taken to export our surplus rice to
less developed countries that require assistance
through World Food Programme (WFP). Moving
a step further, the Government has taken steps to
sell Sri Lankan rice to WFP.

In this background, steps have been taken to broaden the

financing options while ensuring a proper blend of concessional
and non concessional financing from multilateral and bilateral
sources as well as financial markets to keep the cost of
borrowing at affordable level.
Reduction of Concessional
financing
As the country consolidates as an upper middle
income economy with increased demand for
public investment, the concessional financing that
country has enjoyed over the past several decades
is on the decline. In the past, the concessional
financing has been extended by multilateral
financing agencies such as the International
Development Association (IDA) of the World
Bank, the Asian Development Bank (ADB),
International Fund for Agricultural Development
(IFAD), United Nations Development Programme
(UNDP), OPEC Fund, European Investment Bank
and bilateral development partners such as Japan,
South Korea, France, Austria, Germany, Denmark,
the USA, Australia, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, the
Netherlands, Sweden, China and India in the form
of outright grants, credits with longer maturities
with a longer grace period and low interest or as
mixed credit combining loan and grants. However,
at present Sri Lanka has access to limited range
of concessional funding from IDA, ADB, UN
agencies, selected bilateral development partners
and dedicated development funds.

he Government has attached high priority

to accelerate growth and development as
per the Mahinda Chinthana: Vision for the
Future policy framework. Accordingly a significant
private investment has taken place in many of
the commercially viable sectors such as ports,
power and energy, roads and telecommunications.
However, the private investments still remains
inadequate. Therefore, the Government has been
required to maintain a Public Investment to GDP
ratio of around 6 percent during 2002-2013.
Foreign Financing Strategy and

National Priorities
The foreign financing strategy of the
Government recognize that the development
projects which are implemented using foreign
financing would create an asset base and
economic activities that will generate future
stream of income sources leading to increase
of tax revenue and other sources of income in
support of debt servicing.
Therefore, foreign financing for development
projects raised by the Government is appraised
not only its financial terms, but also by examining
the purpose for which such foreign financing is
used and their return overtime to ensure they
create a more revenue generating asset base.
Accordingly, the government borrowings from
foreign sources are mobilized largely to finance
large-scale infrastructure projects concentrating
on well focused development needs in each sector
creating diverse income earning sources in the
economy. A greater focus has been made on the
needed large investments for the priority sectors
such as energy, roads including highways, ports
Table 1
and aviation, irrigation and water supply schemes

to increase returns on investments to match the
changing cost structure of foreign debt.
The present borrowing strategies of the
Government are based on two basic principles;
(a) borrowing at the lowest possible cost and (b)
ensuring adequate provisions for debt servicing
on time, preserving the default free status of the
country. In addition, emphasis is given to obtain
loans with longer maturities.
With the increase in income levels, Sri Lanka
is now in a better position to divert a substantial
amount of domestic financial resources to cover
the consumption expenditure including livelihood
development, social protection and welfare
programmes. However, the available Official
Development Assistance (ODA) on concessionary
terms will extensively be invested in soft sectors
including education and health that do not
creates new assets or generate quick monetary
returns in the short-term as such expenditure
creates human resources in the country.
Medium Term Government Priorities for Foreign Financing
Economic Infrastructure
High priority has been given under the Governments investment

programme to improve the road network including expressways,
highways, national roads and provincial roads as well as port and
aviation sectors and urban township facilities to promote economic
growth with regionally balanced development.
Expansion of Expressway Network and

Ensuring Urban Rural Connectivity
The rural hub road connectivity programme of the government will

connect 1,000 promising villages in the island to the nearest major trunk
road or expressway through provincial roads and national highways to
ensure the rural urban connectivity. Around 10,000 km of existing road
sections at different levels (rural, provincial and national) and missing
links will be developed as multimodal transport (complete street) road
network. In addition to the improvement of rural roads, construction
of rural bridges programme aims at replacement of rural bridges, foot
bridges and ferries on rural road network by permanent structures to
improve accessibility and bring isolated villages to mainstream.
Constructing Rural/Urban
infrastructure facilities.
Constructing rural infrastructure facilities has been identified as

an important aspect to maximize benefits of mega development
projects. Rural roads, rural electricity, rural and urban water supply,
small irrigation and usage of IT in the rural sector together with the
development of emerging townships and urban centers are the main
focus areas to improve rural economy.
While ensuring 100 percent electricity coverage to all households, the

demand of other sectors also should be met in a cost- effective manner.
The proposed economic hubs will create an incremental demand for
energy, and if such industries to be competitive in the global market,
the energy cost has to be affordable. The appropriate energy mix which
ensures the lowest possible cost includes renewable energy such as
wind, solar, hydro, coal, LNG and other low-cost sources. Investment
has been committed to oil exploration, as a long term solution to
reduce countrys overburdened import bill.
Integrated Water Resource

Management
Currently, about 80 percent of surface irrigation water is used for

irrigation purposes. The demand from other uses such as industries is
expected to increase rapidly in the next six years. This will necessitate
increasing water use efficiency in irrigation development in relation to
new irrigation systems and tapping non-conventional modes of water
supply effectively, including water recycling, large scale rain water
harvesting, desalination etc. A consistent investment on drinking water
that will improve access to safe drinking water is being pursued.
Human Resources Development for

Knowledge based Economy
Governments vision is to drive the economy as a knowledge-based

economy benefiting from the higher educational levels prevailed in
the country, to be able to harness global knowledge and apply same
towards the development of all sectors. In this context, education, skills
development, science and technology and health will be given priority
in public investment.
Environmentally Friendly Urban

Development
Government aims to develop a network of cities and townships which

are well connected with each other, as well as with the rest of the
world. Colombo and other main cities are to be developed as Green
Cities. Solid waste management, drainage and sewerage facilities,
implementation of zoning plans, developing systematic transport
facilities and minimizing traffic congestions are the main thrusts
identified in the urban sector.
Encourage private investments in

areas of competition and businesses
Benefiting from large scale infrastructure investments, the private sector

is expected to invest particularly in port related industries and services,
tourism, IT/BPO, skills development, urban mixed development,
agriculture and manufacturing sectors and particularly in value added
industries using domestic raw material and resources. Economic policy
is based on the development of five well connected economic hubs
which will integrate the domestic economy with international markets,
capitalizing on human as well as natural resources of the country.
The development of port and airport infrastructure together with an
express way network has opened new opportunities.
Address climatic challenge and adopt

sustainable environment centric
priorities
In recent years Sri Lanka has suffered heavily from the severe floods
and droughts. Frequency of occurrence of natural disasters (floods,
droughts, landslides, lightening and high winds) has been increased
during last two decades due to climate change, human intervention
and environmental degradation.
Sector Matching and Screening of Project Proposals for Foreign

Financing
The National Budget which is prepared on a
3 year medium term budgetary framework gives
more flexibility for line Ministries and Departments
to design their development proposals in more
realistic ways considering the greater resource

envelop available over medium term. Taking into
account the macro-economic considerations
with fiscal space and Parliamentary ceiling,
Meeting Energy needs of the country
only the projects which are ready to commence

accommodate in the budget estimates.
The nature of capital expenditure is assessed
carefully by the Treasury Departments to verify
as to whether such expenditure directly or
indirectly adds value to the external economy
through export earnings and import savings.
This analysis helps to determine the amount of
domestic and foreign borrowings.
Given the large number of development
proposals received in respect of economic
sectors, suitable proposals are selected by
the Department of National Planning in
consultation with line Ministries through a
comprehensive analysis of economic costs and
benefits of each project proposal. Economic and
financial viability of the project particularly in
respect of value addition to the economy and
foreign exchange earnings are examined. The
Department of External Resources then feeds
the potential projects into the lending pipelines
of respective lending agencies during annual

consultative process between the Government
and development partners.
Only the project proposals which are initially
cleared by the Department of National Planning
and subsequently approved by the Cabinet
of Ministers after securing foreign finance are
included in the budget estimates. The cost of
borrowing and technical advantage with the
respective lenders are some of the aspects taken
into consideration by the Government when
deciding a source of foreign financing.
Unsolicited proposals are considered only if
they are designed to achieve specific development
targets identified in the development policy
framework of the government. Government
has already rationalized the screening process
for unsolicited proposals and all necessary
guidelines have been issued to line Ministries to
ensure that borrowings are well within the debt
servicing capacity of the Government.

Prioritization of Unsolicited Development Proposals
Recognizing the increasing number of unsolicited development project proposals submitted

to the line Ministries by prospective private investors, financiers and promoters extending diverse
financial instruments, Government has streamlined the process to be followed in relation to such
development proposals. Accordingly, Line Ministries are required to obtain approvals from the
Standing Cabinet Appointed Review Committee (SCARC) as well as from the Department of
National Planning, Department of External Resources and the Central Bank of Sri Lanka prior to
making any commitment to lending agencies with regard to the unsolicited proposals.
The SCARC is expected to advise on the manner in which such proposals should be proceeded
with the regular project proposals developed by line Ministries as per the strategic guidelines
and targets set out in the Economic Policy Framework of the Government: Mahinda ChinthanaVision for the future. Such proposals are appraised in detail by the Department of National
Planning to decide the suitability of each project proposal to be financed under the public
investment programme and its priority. The large scale investment proposals which are difficult
to implement with domestic finance are generally selected for implementation with foreign
financing, depending on their economic and financial viability. The projects which are generally
not of a strategic nature are expected to be proceeded through the normal procedure. Only the
projects which are of strategic nature and expected to generate substantial amount of economic
value addition are considered by the SCARC for further proceedings.
A comprehensive analysis of economic costs and benefits of each project proposal, including
social and environmental cost and benefits is carried out by the Government to select the best
proposal for foreign financing. The underline principle is that the assets created or services
produced through these projects should be able to generate adequate economic returns to
meet the debt service obligations arising from that particular borrowing.
Clearance from the respective Treasury Departments including the National Planning
Department, External Resources Department, the Public Finance Department and the Central
Bank of Sri Lanka and subsequent approval by the Cabinet of Ministers after securing foreign
financing are some of the pre-requirements for inclusion of a foreign financing project in the
budget estimates. When Expression of Interest (EOI) on various sectors and specific programmes
/ projects submitted by lending agencies, the NPD determines whether such EOI should be
recognized and prioritized in terms of the Development strategies of the Government.
The Ministry of Finance and Planning has formulated a framework for the mobilization of
external finance for 2013-15 medium-term, considering the needs assessment and underlying
public investment strategy of the Government. Accordingly, all new external borrowings should
be examined by the Credit Assessment Committee established in the Department of External
Resources prior to enter in to a formal agreement with development partners and lenders.
The Foreign Financing Options
(a) Conventional financing available

for selected development areas
Each lending institution has its own
institutional or corporate priorities and
development themes in their operations. Most
of the traditional multilateral development
partners such as International Development
Agency (IDA) of the World Bank, Asian
Development Bank (ADB), OPEC Fund for
International Development (OFID), Saudi
Fund (SF) and United Nations Development
Programme (UNDP) as well as bilateral agencies
like JICA have focused on poverty reduction as
their central theme.
Development themes of Selected
Development Partners
World Bank
World Free of Poverty
ADB
Asia Free of Poverty
Japan
Sustainable Development
OFID
Uniting Against Poverty
Aus Aid
Making a real difference,

delivering real results
World Food
Programme
Fighting Hunger Worldwide
UNICEF
Unite for children
These funding agencies provide long term

financing with low interest rate, long grace
period and repayment periods. However, the
total amount available with these foreign
financing is often limited as priority is attached
to poverty reduction, rural development,
(b)Less concessional financing with

mixed credit
With the increase of per capita income level,
Sri Lanka has now become eligible to borrow
from IBRD of the World Bank and Ordinary
Capital Resources (OCR) facilities of ADB on
less concessionary terms. As larger resource
envelope is usually available with these funds
to meet the increased resource requirement
for development activities such as roads,
ports, electricity, irrigation, water supply, urban
development etc. The borrowings under such
facilities have gradually increased over the past
few years.
(c) Approaching new financing

modalities
In the background of reduction of
concessional financing for development
initiatives and the increased demand for
foreign financing to implement development
projects, export credit instruments have
evolved in many countries over recent past
to provide development funding for public
investments. However, these funds generally
involve tight credit to ensure that imports
are made from lender country origin as well
as suppliers and the contractors are sourced
from those countries. In addition, most such
loans are connected with banking operations
depending on country practices. Accordingly,
a comprehensive assessment is undertaken
by the Government to identify projects to
be financed from such export credit loans
to ensure that such funding is invested in
economically viable activities. In recent years
the Government has used such funds from
countries such as France, Spain, UK and USA.
When determining the source of foreign

financing, the advantages of engaging different
lending institutions in different economic sectors
and development projects are carefully assessed.
The cost of borrowing, past experience, systems
and procedures, conditionality, technical expertise
available with the respective lenders are some
of the key aspects taken into consideration in
the process of working with potential sources of
financing.
gender,
vulnerable
groups,
education,
health, environment and small infrastructure
development programmes, The resource
ceiling is generally small and consists of multi
faceted projects and programmes.
11
12
(d) Direct borrowings by State

Owned Public Enterprises (SOEs)
The Government also encourages strategic
public enterprises and corporations to raise
foreign financing directly from development
partners and lending agencies to expand
and improve their services. Accordingly, the
State Business Enterprises can raise foreign
financing subject to the limits specified by the
Government. This enables the Government to
promote such Enterprises to operate within cost
sensitive business models. This will also ease
the burden on the national Budget and allow
the Government to allocate more resources
to priority areas while adhering to the overall
foreign financing exposure limit.
(e) Borrowings from Capital Market

Borrowing from both domestic and
foreign capital market has also become a
source of funding for public investment in
Table 2
many countries. These financial facilities

are available readily for disbursement
without any conditionality and long
processing time. However, these facilities
are generally offered at market prices with
very competitive rates. Such financing also
requires the services of internationally
reputed investment bankers and country
ratings regularly, like many middle income
countries.
All these institutional arrangement
involve different working set ups, diverse
policy frameworks, variable risks and
conditionalities. The volume of funds
available with each facility also varies.
Therefore, the Government carefully
assesses the cost and benefits, policy
content, time involvement, as well as risks
in order to select best instruments, mix
of credit and size of funds for external
resources for development work.
Important Laws relating to Foreign Financing and Debt Management
The existing legal framework relating to foreign borrowing comprise of a number of Parliamentary Acts including,
the Foreign Loan Act No 29 of 1957 and subsequent amendments, Appropriation Act inter alia, Monetary Law
Act and the Fiscal Management (Responsibility) Act No.3 of 2003. The Appropriation Act inter alia sets the overall
exposure limit of Government Gross borrowings and although there is a high demand for foreign financing from
various economic sectors, the specified borrowing ceilings cannot be exceeded under normal circumstances.
Act / Law
Governing Activity / Conditions
Foreign Loan Act No 29 of 1957 and amended

in 1963, 1980, 1984
The Foreign Loan Act No 29 of 1957 provides a basic framework

for Government to raise foreign financing for development
activities. According to the provisions, the President or
any person specially authorized by him can enter into an
agreement relating to a foreign loan to the government of Sri
Lanka or guarantee by the government of Sri Lanka relating to
foreign loans or any contract, bond, promissory note or other
documents required by such agreement or guarantee with any
foreign government or external financing agency.
The similar provisions are available in the Loans (Special
Provisions) Act No. 40 of 1982 to raise loans for the service
of the government during any financial year for which no
Appropriation Act has been passed by the Parliament.
The foreign financing borrowing limits and the medium to

long-term debt management strategy are also governed by
the Fiscal Management (Responsibility) Act No.03 of 2003. The
Act has introduced a target based fiscal management system
by specifying the debt related targets.
Annual Appropriation Act
This act determines the aggregate borrowing limit of the

government for the particular year concerned. This act is
approved by the Parliament for the relevant year before the
annual Budget presentation. Usually the difference between
Revenue and total expenditure is approved as the Borrowing
limit considering the conditions imposed by the Fiscal
Management (Responsibility) Act and as projected by the
Medium-Term Macro Fiscal Framework (with a view to reduce
the Debt to GDP ratio to the required level as directed in the
said Act).
The borrowing limit approved under this Act may be revised
during the year subject to a supplementary legislation.
Monetary Law Act No. 58 of 1949
Management of Public Debt in Sri Lanka has been entrusted

to the Central Bank under this Act. In terms of Section 113
of this Act, the Central Bank of Sri Lanka is entrusted with
carrying out the function of debt management on behalf of
the Government of Sri Lanka. In terms of Section 114 of this
Act, the government should obtain the advice of the Monetary
Board on monetary implications of the loans before raising
funds through loans.
The Local Treasury Bills Ordinance of 1923 and

amended in 1953, 1992, 1995, 2004
To Act empowers the Public Debt Department of the CBSL to

act as an agent of the government in issuance of Treasury Bills.
The Registered Stock and Securities Ordinance

(RSSO) of 1937 and amended in 1949, 1983,
1985, 1995, 2004
To Act empowers the Public Debt Department of the CBSL

to act as an agent of the government in issuance of Treasury
Bonds and Rupee Loans.

Accessing Capital Markets to Finance

Development
ri Lanka accessed the international debt

capital market through the issuance of
an International Sovereign Bond in 2007,
where the country was able to raise USD 500
million at 8.75 percent with a tenure of 5 years.
Subsequently, the country also tapped the
international bond market in 2009, 2010, 2011
and 2012.
The Bank of Ceylon (BoC) a fully Government
Owned State Bank with the largest asset base
amongst the Banks in the country issued a bond
for USD 500 million in April 2013 at 5.325 percent
with a tenure of 5 years. As was stated in the
Budget 2013 National Savings Bank (NSB) also
accessed the market in September 2013 with the
issuance of an international bond for USD 750
million at 8.875 percent with a tenure of 5 years.
On the back of the NSB issuance DFCC Bank
and National Development Bank (NDB) both
undertook international road shows to engage
with international investors on possible bond
issuance. DFCC raised USD 100 million. NDB is
monitoring the market for an opportune time to

announce a possible transaction. The proceeds
of these bonds are to be utilized to finance
infrastructure projects which are financially viable.
Performance of global capital markets have
been rather mixed during the first 3 quarters
of 2013 mainly due to the sluggish economic
growth in Europe, the US tapering or the
quantitative easing, relatively moderate growth
outlook for China and the emerging economies
(especially BRIC countries) and the tensions in
the Middle East. As per IMF projections despite
the prevalence of global economic crisis, almost
USD 144.9 billion has flowed into the Emerging
Markets (EM) in 2012 through FDI, Bonds
equities etc., and it is expected to increase to USD
336 billion by 2013 and to USD 413.2 billion by
2014 indicating that capital markets remain
a potential source of financing for emerging
economies such as Sri Lanka.

Building Partnerships in Development

Box :- Public Private Partnerships (PPPs)
for infrastructure development
Over the last 15 years there has been a
global increase in public private partnerships
(PPPs) for infrastructure development, financing
and operation. In PPP projects, contractual
Agreement is formed between a public agency
and private sector entity that allows for greater
private sector participation in the service delivery
through designing, financing, construction,
operation and management of infrastructure
for a specific period of time. These PPP projects
are primarily driven by the Governments
requirement to implement projects without
utilizing public funds. The array of PPP projects
range from expressways and toll roads, water
and sewerage treatment plants, ports, waste
disposal, power projects etc.
Advantages of involving banks and private
investors in infrastructure financing It provides attractive investment opportunities
that could retain local and foreign capital.
It will strengthen the local economy by
fostering common goods that underpin the
future growth.
It will accelerate the process of infrastructure
development when many entities support
different infrastructure projects at the same
time and
Private investment frees up the Government
to focus on the social development projects
such as education and health whilst
commercially viable projects can be financed
by the private sector.
With the improved investment and business

climate for the private sector, a considerable
private investment has already taken place in
the areas of ports, power and energy, water,
sanitation, irrigation etc.
he expanded demand for improved

economic and social infrastructure and
connected services in the country during
the past two decades has created the need for
foreign financing in greater quantities. At present,
a considerable portion of the Government capital
investment on infrastructure development
projects comes through foreign financing.
The large scale investment proposals which
are difficult to accommodate within domestic
resource envelop are generally identified for
implementation with foreign financing, based
on their economic and financial viability and the
government priorities.
Although the demand for foreign financing
has increased sharply during past several
years due to the accelerated infrastructure
development drive of the Government, it is
difficult to increase the foreign borrowing levels
in the same rates within short term due to number
of reasons. These include the existing legal and
institutional limitations relating to borrowings
as well as the Government commitment
towards managing the debt service obligations
of the country. The amount of foreign financing
that the Government can borrow in a particular
financial year is governed by a well defined
fiscal framework and the exposure limits of
the country. Although gradual increase of
GDP along with the increase in earnings from
export of goods and services and capital
inflows will allow Sri Lanka to accommodate
more development projects for implementation
with foreign financing, a sharp increase of the
Government borrowings for development
projects cannot be expected in the short term
due to the above limitations. Therefore, it is
necessity to capitalize private financing and
build partnerships for development of economic
and social infrastructure and connected services
in Sri Lanka.

Ports
Hambanthota Port
Colombo Port Expansion Project The

first PPP landlord port model
The Hambanthotal port will be developed

further jointly by the Sri Lanka Port Authority
and CHINA JV, two Chinese companies; the
China Harbor Engineering Company Ltd and
the China Merchants Holdings International
Company under Supply, Operation and Transfer
(SOT) arrangement. Scope of the SOT framework
includes civil works, supply of equipment and
container terminal operation. MOU has already
been signed between two parties in this regard
and CHINA JV holds 51 percent of the issued
equity capital while Sri Lanka Port Authority holds
49 percent of the issued equity capital. The total
investment is USD 500 million. The project will
create 02 berths of 150,000 ton container terminal,
02 berths of 20,000 ton container terminal and
stockyard.
The project was implemented to cater to the

increasing demands of services in the international
shipping industry and to accommodate larger
ships at Colombo Port. This large scale publicprivate partnership investment will open access
to a new generation of mega-vessels and cement
Sri Lankas position as an important international
trade gateway. The ADB provided a USD 300

Colombo's new deep draft terminal constructed under the

Colombo Port Expansion Project (CPEP) received the largest
container ship to have ever called at the Port of Colombo on
October 08.
South Container Terminal, the first of three

container terminals to be accommodated on the
breakwater is being implemented with about USD
500 million of private investment from Colombo
International Container Terminals (CICT). CICT
is a joint venture established between China
Merchants Holding International and Sri Lanka
Ports Authority for the design, construction and
management of the Colombo South Terminal. The
new terminal is being equipped with the largest
ever ship-to-shore cranes. The first 400 meters of
container operations started operations on 5th
August 2013, providing additional capacity of 0.8
million ETUs per annum.
The joint venture between the Ceylon

Electricity Board (CEB) and the National Thermal
Power Corporation Ltd (NTPC) of India provides
scope to expand CEB without relying over the
national budget. Construction work on the 500
MW Sampur coal power project at Trincomalee is
scheduled to commence this year and its power
generation will be linked to the national grid by
mid 2016.
Norochcholai Power Plant
Meantime, the Ministry of Power and Energy

hopes to complete the second phase of the
Norochcholai coal power plant this year which
would add 300 MW to the national grid. The third
stage of the Norochcholai project is also due to
Industry
The Cabinet has recently approved a mega USD
4 billion Industrial Park in Sampur, Trincomalee to
be implemented by Singapore based Gateway
Group. The mega project, which would be
completed in three phases, within seven years,
would facilitate heavy industries, mainly from
Singapore and would self-facilitate infrastructure
and other requirements for operations without the
government having to provide them. Singapore
based Gateway group has been awarded 818 acres
of land in the area on a 50 year lease agreement
to develop and the company would invest more
than USD 700 million within the first two years,
followed by USD 1.3 billion, which would develop
infrastructure, education and other facilities to
support the industries. That would be followed
by a further USD 2 billion capital infusion coming
from industries to be set up there.
from Enderamulla to Ambepussa via Mirigama,

stage two includes 39 kms from Mirigama to
Pellendeniya (Kurunegala), stage three includes
46 kms from Ambepussa to Kandy and stage four
includes 62 kms from Pellendeniya to Dambulla.
Construction work of the Northern Expressway
starting from Enderamulla in the Gampaha
district and ending in Dambulla is expected to
cost USD 1 billion (Rs. 130 billion) and will start
early next year with Chinese assistance.
The China Merchants Holdings (International)
Company Limited and China Merchants Hua
Jian Highway Investment Company Limited, top
toll road operators in China are expected to
plan, design, finance, construct and operate the
first two sections of the Northern Expressway.
One of the main aims of this project is
to provide the necessary infrastructure to
develop the tourist industry in the country
while providing a better transport network. The
preliminary work such as identifying the road
corridor and finalising the road alignment with
tentative acquisition boundaries had already
been completed. The proposed EnderamullaAmbepussa stretch of the expressway will be
constructed in most part parallel to the railway
line, paddy, marshy and uncultivated areas. Only
a few populated areas would be affected by the
project.
Roads and Expressways

The proposed northern expressway from
Colombo to Jaffna in the north via Kurunegala
and Dambulla with connections to Kandy and
Trincomalee which would cost about USD 4.5
billion, will be the Sri Lanka's largest publicprivate partnership investment to date. Phase
one of this expressway which will take the
traffic to Trincomalee and the North consists
of four stages. Stage one includes 53 kms
Katunayaka expressway
be completed by the middle of next year with

another 300 MW. The percentage of coal power
electricity generation can be increased to nearly
55 percent with the contribution from the Sampur
and Norochcholai coal power plants.
The commissioning of these power plants is
also expected to minimise CEBs dependence on
purchasing power from private power suppliers
and the operation of fuel and thermal based
power plants.

Box III
Programme Based Budget Support: The New Approach in Foreign Financing
The Government has taken initiatives to

align future foreign borrowings with sector
development programmes through budget
support. The Government works with the
lending agencies to share development cost
based on agreed budget outcomes and
institutional arrangements, deviating from
project based funding approach. This will
help to develop the respective sectors in a

consolidated and comprehensive manner
while avoiding duplications. The budget
support provides more effective structures
for strengthening the mutual accountability
between development partners and recipients,
achieving greater predictability of funding and
lower transaction costs for recipient countries.
A Paradigm Shift in Foreign Financing

From
To
Project based funding
Budget support based on

Programme based funding
Isolated projects stand apart

without synergy
More focused & coordinated programmes

heading towards a common goal
Planning & designing outsourced

More preference for domestic contractors
Long preparation time with high

administration cost
Short preparation time with low

administration cost
This new approach will also strengthen the

capacity of implementing agencies to manage
foreign financing projects in more responsible
manner. It will also improve the ownership
and accountability while strengthening the
coordination among all stakeholders.
The Government has selected education,
skills development and health sectors as priority
sectors to implement this new approach and the
Asian Development Bank and the World Bank
have already provided financial assistance to
education and health sectors respectively on
these lines.
Financial Assistance from the Asian

Development Bank (ADB) for Education
Sector Development
The second phase of the Education Sector
Development Framework & Program (ESDFP)
is estimated to cost about USD 4800 million
and will be implemented over 5 year period
from 2013 to 2017 under the medium term
expenditure framework of the Government.
In support of the Government financing, the
Asian Development Bank (ADB) has agreed to
contribute about 4 percent of the above total
education sector financing requirement through
World Bank (WB) Support for Health

Sector Development
The World Bank having recognized the
Governments efforts to further improve the
health system has extended its support to
strengthen the Governments overall health
sector development programme by providing
a budget support. Thus, the Second Health
Sector Development Programme (SHSDP) has
been developed for a five-year period covering
thematic areas such as malnutrition, prevention
and control of non-communicable diseases,
maternal & child health and health system
improvement. The total budgetary requirement
for the five year Health Sector Programme is
expected to be around USD 5,170 million and

the International Development Association
(IDA) of World Bank provides USD 200 million
for SHSDP by way of a loan.
Foreign Financing for Vocational

Training and Skills Development
Technical training and skills development
is a priority programme of the Government
in the context of Government commitment
to develop knowledge and skills of youth to
provide gainful employment opportunities
and meet the rising demand from various
industries and services for high skills. Having
recognized the need for diverting enhanced
financial resources for skills development
initiatives, the Government is negotiating with
the development partners including ADB and
the World Bank to obtain financial assistance
by way of budget support to share the cost
of such expenditure. The new programme
will take the form of programme approach
departing from old project approach to
ensure funds are disbursed on performance
basis and programmes are managed as an
integral part of line ministry responsibility.
The estimated budget will recognize the
regular establishment
and operational
expenditure, disbursement on on-going work
and reform centric eligible expenditure for
skills development.
their new financing modality; Results - Based

Lending Program (RBLP) for 5 year period
commencing from 2013. The ADB financing
will be made purely on sector wide approach
and loan proceeds will be used to support the
medium-term expenditure programme of the
education sector over the 5 year period from
2013.
The programme aims to achieve four major
outputs in the education sector; (i) improved
student learning, (ii) improved equity and
efficiency of the secondary school system,
(iii) strengthening school leadership, and (iv)
strengthening capacity for effective programme
planning and implementation.

Sri Lankas graduation as a Lending Country
ri Lankas performance in many

areas including education, health,
skills
development,
infrastructure
development, irrigation and poverty reduction
has been exceptional in comparison with the
other countries in the region. Being an emerging
middle income country with a steady increase in
per capita income and reduction of external debt
in relation to the GDP, Sri Lanka has taken action
to share its development experience with other
countries through technical and grant assistance
programmes. Accordingly, the Government plans
to strengthen Sri Lankas foreign economic ties
with friendly countries which are having per capita
income level on par with ours or the countries
with economic development lower than ours by
sharing our technical experience with them.
Over the last several years, Sri Lanka has
extended its support to the countries in the Asian
and African regions to improve their infrastructure
facilities and human capital development while
providing humanitarian needs in some countries.
In this way, the country has expanded its capacity
to engage in providing such assistance. The
assistance provided to Maldives, Uganda, and
Somalia have been key initiatives in this regard.
As major portion of public investment
is provided for infrastructure development,
the Countrys experience gained through
implementation
of
mega
infrastructure
development projects has been an advantageous
factor in providing assistance for infrastructure
development in other countries. Similarly, the
professional expertise built in the technical
education sector over time has made such
cooperation realistic.
Assistance to Maldives
In 2011, Government of Sri Lanka extended its
development cooperation to Maldives by providing
a grant assistance of USD 10 million for development
of a 4.8 km long and 7 meter wide road with foot
walks on both sides and street lighting.
Newly constructed Road in Maldives
This project was implemented by the Road

Development Authority which has obtained
expertise knowledge of road construction
by implementing mega road development
projects with the assistance of M/s International
Construction Consortium (Pvt) Limited of Sri
Lanka. The project was completed in 2013.
This road development project has improved
accessibility and mobility, contributing to the
economic development of Maldives. The bilateral
relationship between two countries has been

Assistance to Uganda
With the objective of expanding vocational
and technical training education opportunities
in Uganda, a Memorandum of Understanding
(MOU) was signed between the two countries
in 2012. Under the MOU, the government of
Sri Lanka has agreed to provide Uganda with
grant assistance and technical cooperation not
exceeding USD 1.5 million for establishment of
the Sri Lanka Uganda Friendship Vocational
and Technical Training Center by upgrading
the existing Masulita Vocational and Technical
Training Centre (MVTTC).

human capital has come to be regarded as a key
Program (WFP) in 2012. Under this programme,

a total of 10,000 metric tons of white rice was
provided to Somali refugees in camps in Ethiopia.
This donation programme greatly assists Somali
Refugees in meeting their food needs that is
a basic human right. Supply of food also leads
to improvement of Health of these people.
Self-sufficiency of Sri Lanka in rice production

External financing makes a significant

contribution towards Public Investments in
the country as domestic resources are not
sufficient to meet the development goals. As the
Governments Development Policy Framework
foresees a well-developed infrastructure system
in the country, a substantial share of foreign
financing has been mobilized in infrastructure
development in the country during last few
years. While continuing the major infrastructure
development projects initiated in strategic
sectors such as roads and expressways, power,
water supply, irrigation and urban development,
the Government is now focusing on multifaceted
small infrastructure development at rural level
ensuring connectivity and integrated rural
centric development to create poverty-free Sri
Lanka in near future.

agencies

Need for Streamlining Direct Grants Received for Government Agencies

and NGOs
Some of the grants are still provided to the government agencies or their affiliated institutions
and NGOs directly without channeling through the formal procedures in coordination with
the Department of External Resources and they are not properly reflected in the National
Budgetary Estimates. Therefore, there is a growing need for implementing a comprehensive
mechanism in order to monitor and evaluate the receipts and disbursements of the total grant
assistance extended from the foreign parties and maintain better transparency in the above
transactions. This will help to assess the real impact on the development of the country by grant
assistance received from external development partners. It will also help to expose the generous
contributions in terms of grant assistance extended by the development partners towards the
development of the country.

Since the major portion of the outstanding

agencies at concessional terms and conditions,
most of the above loans consisted of considerable
grace periods and longer repayment periods.
Therefore, 20.6 percent of the total outstanding

With the gradual accumulation of external

financial assistance for the development
projects and programmes over the last 6
decades, debt servicing has become an
important aspect of monetary and fiscal
management of the country. Sri Lanka has
maintained external debt to GDP ratio lower
than the level of 40 percent during the last 8
years keeping the country classified as less
indebted by the United Nations Economic and
Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific
(UN-ESCAP). The country has managed to
reduce the outstanding external debt to GDP
ratio from 39 percent in 2005 to 36.5 percent
in 2012.
A larger portion of foreign debt stock
consists of loans obtained at concessionary
terms, including low interest rates and longer
repayment periods with fairly long grace
periods. As a result, Sri Lanka is in a good
position with regard to loan repayments

Debt Sustainability
Sri Lanka has annually repaid an average

amount of almost USD 950 million during last
7 years. The projected debt service payments
in 2015 are notably high amounting to about
USD 2,658 million due to the maturity of USD
500 million worth of sovereign bonds issued in
2009.

The Government mobilizes a major portion
of ADB financial resources for the development
of roads and transport, power and energy and
water supply sectors considering the long term
nature of the funds.
Annual commitment of ADB currently stands

around USD 300-400 million. The Government
allocates these funds for the priority projects
identified in the Country Business Operation Plan
which has been finalized in line with the priorities
identified in the Mahinda Chintana- Vision for
the Future. The total commitment of the ongoing
projects is USD 1,784 million and around USD 300
million is disbursed annually under the ongoing
projects.

Country Assistance Strategy.
Eligibility for Access to Financial Assistance from IDA

IDA was established in 1960.
Lends to governments of relative poverty, as measured by GNI per capita and the absence of
creditworthiness.
The ceiling for IDA eligibility is known as the operational cut-off.
Determined on the basis of the GNI per capita calculations made by the World Bank, according to
the Atlas methodology.
It is set at USD 1,195 for FY13 and revised annually to account for inflation.
Most countries eligible for IDA resources have per capita incomes below the operational cut-off.
There are some exceptions founded on the principle that no World Bank borrower should be
left without access to either IDA or IBRD, provided that performance is adequate and it is not in
arrears.
Exceptions include:
Countries that have per capita incomes above the operational cut-off for more than two
consecutive years, but are not yet creditworthy for IBRD lending GAP COUNTRIES

At the start of FY13, nine countries have GNI per capita above the operational cut-off for
more than two years, but are not creditworthy for IBRD (Angola, Bhutan, Congo Rep. of,
Djibouti, Guyana, Honduras, Kosovo Rep. of, Moldova, and Timor-Leste).
small island economies that share many of the challenges of countries with much lower GNI
per capita and are not creditworthy or have limited access to other market-based financing.

At the start of FY13, 13 small island economies with GNI per capita above the operational
cut-off are eligible to borrow from IDA. Of these, five are blends that are creditworthy for
some IBRD borrowing (Cape Verde, Dominica, Grenada, St. Lucia, and St. Vincent and the
Grenadines). The remaining eight are not creditworthy for IBRD (Kiribati, Maldives, Marshall
Islands, Micronesia, Samoa, Tonga, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu).
Creditworthy for IBRD financing and may also be eligible for IDA assistance for a number of
years till their graduation from IDA BLEND COUNTRIES

At the start of FY13, 11 countries (excluding five small islands) are classified as blend
(Armenia, Bolivia,Bosnia and Herzegovina, Georgia, India, Mongolia, Pakistan, Papua New
Guinea, Sri Lanka, Uzbekistan, and Vietnam).

However, Sri Lanka exceeded the IDA operational

cutoff for more than two consecutive years and

IBRD Pricing Structure

It is based on a floating reference rate, usually
six months LIBOR plus a spread that is either fixed
over the period of the loan or variable from one
semester to another. The applicable spread will
vary according to average repayment maturity.
In addition to the spread over LIBOR, the Bank
charges a front end fee.
Sri Lanka is addressing a set of policy
challenges as part of its transition to a middle
income country status and continues to mobilize
financial assistance extended by World Bank
to address long term strategic and structural
development challenges of the country through
the Country Partnership Strategy (CPS) of the
World Bank for FY 13-16.

Country Partnership Strategy with World Bank

The Country Partnership Strategy (CPS) with the World Bank is designed to support the GOSL in
addressing challenges such as realigning public spending, ensuring appropriate resource allocations
for the various tiers of Government, addressing the opportunities and impacts of the demographic
transition, clarifying the role of the private sector and enhancing incentives for private sector
productivity. The government has strengthened its relationship with World Bank through continued
dialogue in line with the middle income country agenda. In recognition of its growth and economic
stability, Sri Lanka has access to International Development Association (IDA), International Bank for
Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) and International Finance Corporation (IFC) allowing for
significantly increased financial support during next 3 years. The CPS focuses directly on three areas
which are aligned with the Mahinda Chintana Vision, i.e. facilitating sustained private and public
investment; supporting the structural shifts in the economy; and improving living standards and
social inclusion.
In this context, the CPS will support the Governments effort to improve the investment climate,
enhance knowledge based economy with investments in skills, research and innovation and develop
the infrastructure needed for sustainable urban and rural development. Accordingly, IDA resources of
World Bank will be channeled to provide budgetary support to the national health sector programme
and education development.
Implications of Graduation from IDA

Upon graduation new IDA commitments will
cease.
Post graduation, overall borrowing costs will
rise.
Access to external financing may be
constrained by market perception or the
Countrys debt servicing capacity and, as a
result, external financing may be much lower
than the concessional inflows received prior to
graduation.
The graduating country is also likely to have

access to a lower volume of financing from
the World Bank than in the pre-graduation
phase when both IBRD and IDA financing were
available.
Commitments
Sri Lanka was able to mobilize USD 1,435.3
million worth of loans and USD 54.1 million grants
from the World Bank for the period of 2007Sep 2013. A total of thirty six (36) agreements
from the date of loan effectiveness for the purposes of

The Government of Sri Lanka is investing

heavily in National Health to meet the public
health demands, challenges of malnutrition,
rising trend of non-communicable diseases such
as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases,
cancer, diabetes, kidney diseases, mental health
disorders and traumatic injuries and prevention
& control of communicable diseases. In this
endeavor, the World Bank having recognized
the Governments efforts to improve the health
system has extended its support to the countrys
overall health sector development programme
by providing budget support. Thus, the Second
Health Sector Development Programme (SHSDP)
has been developed for a five year period
identifying strategic activities to be implemented
under the SHSDP covering few thematic areas
such as malnutrition, prevention and control of
non-communicable diseases, maternal & child
health and health system improvement. The total
budgetary requirement for the five year Health
Sector Programme is expected to be around USD
5,170 million and the International Development
Association (IDA) of World Bank has committed
to provide USD 200 million for SHSDP by way
of a loan. The disbursements are expected to
be released based on the performance of the
Disbursement Linked Indicators (DLIs). Therefore,
World Banks commitment on Health Sector
development during 2007 Sep 2013 period has
risen up to USD 229.88 million. The Financing
Agreement of SHSDP was signed on the 19
August, 2013.
World Banks contribution to the urban
development sector was USD 213.9 million which
was obtained as the first IBRD loan after 1986
for the Metro Colombo Urban Development
Project, jointly funded by the Government aiming
at qualitative and visible changes in the Metro

We spent one week in East coast. Then we
got to know Mattala Rajapakse International
Airport & we booked our flights by internet
and came to this place to get back to Italy.
It is very much convenient to us being here
otherwise we have to travel around 8 hours
to Colombo from Arugam bay to get our
departure flights. However, it took only
one and Half-hour to reach MRIA and quite
happy about our decision to come to MRIA.
Facilities at MRIA are very good and we enjoy
lunch at Sri Lankan Restaurant at MRIA. We
will tell the story to our colleges and tell them
to use MRIA for their future travels to East
coast of Sri Lanka and it is convenient in cost

Irrigation and Water Resource Management

Moragahakanda Irrigation Project : The project will provide irrigation water facilities to 81,442
hectares of land in the dry zone and domestic and industrial water requirements of Anuradhapura,
Trincomalee, Polonnaruwa and Matale districts. Water supply capacity in these districts will be
increased from 28 mcm to 91 mcm and the project will generate 25MW of hydropower electricity
that will be added to the national grid. It is expected that the annual agricultural benefits from
paddy cultivation alone would be around Rs 3882.9 million as a result of the project while fresh
water fish breeding industry would contribute around Rs. 1.67 million to the national economy
from the project. In addition, with the hydropower produced the country would annually save
Rs.321.21 billion through annual fuel cost savings. Consequently, the Moragahakanda irrigation
project would benefit around 100,000 families particularly the agricultural and inland fishery
communities in several provinces. Moragahakanda Reservoir, which is being constructed under
the Project, would be the second largest reservoir built in Sri Lanka after Victoria Reservoir and
would bring economic prosperity to the country.

Rebuilding the Nation

Restoration of Railway Infrastructure
The train service on the Northern Line up to Killinochchi, the former rebel stronghold resumed
after 23 years on 14th September 2013 with the opening of the Northern line from Omanthai to
Killinochchi (62 km). His Excellency the President Mahinda Rajapaksa inaugurated the train service
at Omanthai travelling as the first passenger to Killinochchi aboard the historic "Yal Devi" train which
operated up to Omanthai earlier. H.E the President also declared open the newly built Killinochchi
Railway Station.
Yal Devi resuming its service up to Killinochchi and His Excellency the President declared
opened the newly built Killinochchi Railway Station
According to Sri Lanka Railways, now they operate three trains to Killinochchi daily. The journey from
Colombo to Killinochchi takes about five hours. The trains could travel at a speed of 120 km per
hour, for the first time in Sri Lanka. Rail joints are minimized using modern welding technology. Prestressed concrete sleepers have been used to lay the track, instead of traditional wooden sleepers to
ensure a durable and stronger track. CMS (Cast Manganese Steel) crossings with standard turnouts,
long welded rails with switch expansion joints, panel interlocking, flash butt welding, etc. have been
incorporated to provide a long lasting track, with minimum maintenance effort.
The commencement of construction work of the
Northern Railway line, first began extending from
Kankasanthurai (KKS) in the Northern Province
towards Anuradhapura in the North Central
Province, and the first phase of this project up to
Chavakachcheri was completed and opened for
public in 1902, thereafter, it was connected to the
line from south at Anuradhapura. The Northern

completed in 1905 paving the way for the train

northern tip. Yaal Devi started her first trip to
north in 1956 which sadly came to a grounding
halt in 1985 due to a devastating attack by the
terrorists at Kokavil. The last passenger train on
this line travelled on 19th January 1985. Tiger
terrorists bombed the Yal Devi train at Kokavil
Trial Train - Pallai Killinochchi
on that day killing 34 passengers and destroying
the tracks. Thereafter the train service has been only up to the Vauniya, withstanding a many a threat.
A trial train reached Pallai from Kilinochchi on 5th Ocober 2013 achieving another milestone of
the steadily progressing Northern Railway restoration project. According to IRCON International
Limited, who is the contractor of the whole project says, track works between Killinochchi and Pallai
are fully completed, with a few finishing touches left to be completed and fully fledged trial run will
be conducted during the month of October 2013.
The reconstruction of the Northern Railway line began in the year 2011 with financial assistance from
the Government of India. In total USD 798 million was obtained for reconstruction of railway lines of
252 km route length track along with signalling and telecommunication work in Northern Sri Lanka
under two separate credit lines from India. The first Credit of USD 416.39 million was signed on
26th November 2010 to reconstruct the railway lines of Omanthai Pallai (90 km), Madawachchiya
Madu (43 km) and Madu-Tallaimannar (63 km). Madawachchiya Madu Road railway track was
reopened on 14th May 2013 and Railway lines from Killinochchi Pallai and Madu Tallaimannar
are scheduled to be opened before end of 2013.
The second buyers credit line was signed on 17th
January 2012 for a value of USD 382.37 million
for reconstruction of railway line from Pallai
Kankasanthurai (56 km) and for signalling &
telecommunication work of Northern railway
network.
Local manpower and institutions have been
deployed in all stages of the execution of the
project to generate local employment and to
develop skills.
Madawachchi Madu Train

overnment of Pakistan has provided

a grant facility of USD 72,000 in
2013 to support Hand loom sector

Gampaha. The MoU was signed on 9th July 2013

and the grant will help to provide self-sustaining
handloom set up to 75 numbers of beneficiaries
in the area.
Development Assistance from the Western

Countries
he financial assistance from western

countries comes in the form of Export
Credit mostly on commercial or semi
concessional terms.
Foreign financing obtained under export credit
facilities are utilized to accommodate development
projects in the National Development Plan that
require advanced technology. Accordingly, a major
portion of borrowings from Western countries
has been utilized in projects such as construction
of bridges, flyovers, water treatment plants and
distribution networks and improvement of health
care facilities.
Total annual commitments and disbursements

from Western development partners have varied
during the period 2005 2013. Annual average
commitment from Western countries is around
USD 340 million during the period from 2005 to
2013.

Although these export credit facilities

are considered non-concessional, the short
processing
period
overcomes
frequent
price escalations experienced in traditional
concessional loan processing. In this context,
financial assistance obtained from Western
countries not only facilitates Sri Lankas access to
superior European technology but also provides
project benefits early.

Austria
Austria provides concessional export credit
facilities to Sri Lanka with zero interest. These
export credit facilities are attractive when
compared with export credit facilities offered
by other European credit agencies. Currently
Unicredit Bank Austria AG and Raiffesen Bank
international are the key bankers through which
export credit facilities are channeled.
Austria has provided Euro 10 million for
implementation of the Mahiyangana Water
Supply project.

A Beneficiary View point

Mr. Karunadasa came to Tissapura when he
was twenty three. Since then, he has been lack
of drinking water. Normally, we are using the
Tissapura tank to fulfill our water requirements
and during the dry season, it also gets dry he
explained. Explaining further, he said that At
that time we have to walk nearly 4 - 5 kms
to get drinking water. Today, our children are
suffering from kidney disease which affects
their school education. On the other hand,
majority of the villagers left the village due to
this problem and it affects the development of
the village. Some organizations have provided
temporary solutions for these problems, but
those did not change the situation. I hope this
project will be the solution for the drinking
water problem in our area.

IFAD has extended about USD 400 million for
16 projects in the areas of poverty reduction
benefiting more than 550,000 rural households.
IFAD financing could be in the form of loans
and grants, having assessed the financial
and economic status of a country and the
circumstances surrounding it. The terms of
financing is determined by the Executive Board
of IFAD. In general the loan financing is on
concessional terms.
IFAD has so far provided loan assistance on
highly concessionary terms and conditions with
a 40 year repayment period, including a 10 year
grace period with a service charge 0.75 percent.
However, since Sri Lankas graduation into
middle income status the country will no longer
be eligible for highly concessionary loans but
will instead be made availed funding on ordinary
terms.

the poverty line in the Moneragala district. Under this project it is

facilitated to initiate a Footwear Production Entrepreneur Group
including 25 members of young ladies and trained to produce
quality footwear and business management through IDB. They
have been also provided a hand tool set valued at around Rs.
18,000. After the training most of them are further organized
according to the instruction of the project and their funds raised
up to Rs 179,000. Ms. Indika, the President of this group, reminds
of the past as she started to talk. Somehow we wanted to obtain
a matching grant as soon as possible to start production. So, I still
can remember that in some days we worked as a labor to find
our contribution in raising group fund. But now all of us enjoy
with producing footwear and earning money she said. There
are 12 members in this group including 10 girls and 2 boys. Mr.
Nandana is one of the members of this group and, explaining
their marketing strategy, said we are selling footwear under the
brand name of WALKER and the main target group is school
children and government officers. And also we planned to
open a show room for 4 days in every month at government
Kachcheri premises. Further he explained that We held our
first exhibition at the Kachcheri premises from 2013.01.24 to
2013.01.27 and turnover was Rs. 88,500. They have been
already trained on pricing of goods and finance management.
Ms. Maneka is one of the skilled members in this group
effusively reminding their past those days we have to wait till
our husbands find money for our family expenditure and we
had no any opportunity to involve at productive work in the
family. By all means this project (SPEnDP) really supported us
to show a clear way to go.
I always believed that we together can go a long journey

in this field with the guidance of Smallholder Entrepreneurship
Development Programme (SPEnDP) funded by IFAD and with the
support of Industrial Development Board (IDB).We proved that
by being able increase fund up to Rs 179,000 within a four month
period. This enabled us to obtain a matching grant from the

group.

development partners during the period of 2007
to September 2013.
In this process, the Department of External
Resources (ERD) plays a key role the focal point by
facilitating public officials to utilize the available
training opportunities in an optimal way.
As public sector officials play a key role in
policy formulation, planning, designing and
implementation of development projects as
well as delivering quality and effective public
services, these training programmes help them to
understand the international perspectives and best
practices in relation to the respective disciplines

while acquiring new knowledge of emerging
technologies and being equipped with relevant
skills.
The complexity and the uncertainty of the
global economy require macroeconomic policy
makers to work with latest information on the
global economy, the freshest innovative thinking,
and the best new approaches to macroeconomic
management. ERD supports public sector officials
to enhance their knowledge and capacities to
cope with these emerging needs through effective
mobilization of foreign training programmes.

Experience of participants
Mr. Wasantha Bandara Palugaswewa is the Regional
Director of Irrigation at the Department of Irrigation
in North Western Province. He stated that there was
not much emphasis on ground water conditions in
his institution before he did his MSc in Ground water
Hydrology in Australia under the Aus-Aid scholarship
programme. According to him, this programme is
not available in any institution in Sri Lanka. After his
return he introduced this subject to the curriculum of
their training institute and introduced the Australian
experiences to recharge ground water table in the
dry zone of Sri Lanka. Furthermore, Australia is a country where ground water technology is highly developed and
vastly used for agricultural activities. The Irrigation Department where he works mostly uses gravity irrigation to
irrigate agricultural crops. As the options for future gravity irrigation development is limited and available sources
are already tapped, utilizing the ground water for irrigation purpose needs to be expanded he said

Mr. T.P.Anura Hemakumara, Divisional Secretary

Master degree programme under the Japanese
JDS programme. Explaining his experience he said
Studying abroad was one of my dreams for a long time.
It was realized with receiving the JDS which allowed
me to pursue two years Master Degree programme
in a prestigious university in Japan. The exposure to
a developed country was a great privilege for me
to experience the different context comparatively
to a developing country in terms of infrastructure,
management systems, culture and people. In each day of my life in Japan I made new discoveries and learned new
perspectives through reading, insightful lectures from eminent professors and in association with fellow students
from different nationalities and diverse professional backgrounds. Not only the campus life itself but also even
daily Japanese life contributed to my value addition providing education, experience and change in mind set.
During my tenure in Japan I realized how a nation could remain courageous, unite, friendly and environmentally
conscious despite numerous natural and man- made disasters. I wish every Sri Lankan could get this invaluable
experience of studying abroad and international exposure he further said.

Training Programmes offered by Sri

Lanka to the friendly countries
In parallel to Sri Lanka emerging as a lending
country, the Department of External Resources
has taken steps to provide training programmes
to public sector officials of other friendly
countries at their request. Accordingly, five public
sector officials from the Ministry of Finance of
Bangladash were provided with exposure training
on Aid Negotiation and Economic Diplomacy
in 2012 and five public sector officials from the
Ministry of Finance of Tanzaniya were trained in
2013 on Aid Management System.
Services of Volunteers
Sri Lanka shares skills and knowledge of
Sri Lankan expertise in many areas including
construction, relief and rehabilitation, vocational
and technical training with other regional
countries. Construction of national roads in
Maldives, helping victims affected by Tsunami in
Japan in 2011 and setting up of a vocational training
centre in Uganda, are some of the initiatives
where Sri Lankan experts have extended their
support voluntarily to other friendly countries.
Skilled people can be deployed as volunteers
for development work in other countries with
the financial support of the Government to
strengthen the political, economical and technical
cooperation between Sri Lanka and other
countries through South-South Cooperation and
the Commonwealth Secretariat.
Similarly, the Government of Sri Lanka also
receives assistance from development partners
such as Korea, Japan, United Nations Agencies (UN)
and Australia to obtain services of volunteers and

experts in the fields of solid waste management,
Agriculture, computer science, web designing,
English, Korean and Japanese languages, sports,
community development, vocational training,
automobile, and other related fields as a part of
regular technical cooperation.
Accordingly, Sri Lanka annually obtains
services of 40, 30, and 20 volunteers from Korea,
Japan, and UN respectively. Volunteers offer the
nurturing, vision, commitment, skills, creativity,
dedication and wisdom that can significantly
impact the development of needy people.
During the period 2007 to September 2013
Sri Lanka has received services from around 223,
219, 343 volunteers from Korea, Japan and UN
respectively. Though the obtaining of services of
Australian volunteers were temporary suspended
in 2006 due to the turbulent situation in the
country, the Government of Australia has entered
into an agreement with the Government of Sri
Lanka in December 2012 to provide services of
Australian volunteers to work with local people
and the local authorities to enhance their
skills and strengthen the local organizations,
communities and networks. Accordingly, two
Australian Volunteers, being from native English
speaking countries have been attached to the Sri
Lanka Institute of Development Administration
which is the focal point to train newly recruited
officials from all island services mainly to enhance
their English knowledge.
Sri Lanka has gained recognition for having a fairly

clean environment through the establishment of an
efficient cleaning and collection system for Municipal
Solid Waste (MSW). However, there is no proper follow
up after collection and take-away of MSW Prof. Anh
Young Che, KOICA Waste Management Expert said.
In general, segregation of MSW at source is not
occurring in the country and without segregation at
source, MSW management becomes very costly and
impossible, Therefore, recycling activities for better
MSW management are not properly performed. Large amounts of recyclable waste and perishable waste is being
dumped and environmental and health problems are becoming urban issues in these areas. Since I was assigned
as a KOICA World Friend Advisor and Waste Management Expert, to the Waste Management Authority (WMA)
in 2010, I am indeed glad that as a result of my almost 2 year long institutional and technical consulting, WMA
decided to introduce the VBWF system by implementing a pilot operation of the system in Kesbewa Urban Council,
Boralsgamuwa Urban Council, and Moratuwa Municipal Council. In the meantime, KOICAs training programme
on Resource Re-circulated Society for South Asian Countries conducted in 2012 in Korea also provided
encouragement for Sri Lanka to accelerate the pilot VBWF system. At that programme, Sri Lanka participants
submitted proposals for the VBWF system in Sri Lanka. As a result, KOICA accepted the proposal and committed
financial assistance totaling USD 10, 000 for the preparation and distribution of VBWF bags to be used by 90,000
household participants. Once the pilot VBWF system is completed, in December 2013, VBWF guidelines will be
prepared and recommended for full and complete application in Sri Lanka. I hope that the implementation of the
VBWF system in Sri Lanka is successful, and that the system will help Sri Lanka move one step forward toward an
environmentally sound economy and waste free society.
