We Are Updating the World Bank Group’s 5-Year Country Strategy for Sri Lanka
Public Consultations: July 14 to July 31, 2025
The World Bank Group (WBG) is updating its Country Partnership Framework (CPF) for Sri Lanka for the next five years. As part of this we are engaging a broad range of stakeholders, including government representatives, development partners, civil society, think tanks, academia, and the private sector.
We invite you to participate in this process and share your ideas and feedback.
The updated CPF will guide the WBG’s support for Sri Lanka over the next five years and support job creation through private-sector-led growth. In line with the WBG’s new country engagement approach , the strategy will be outcome-oriented and selective, and designed to foster public and private partnerships to address development challenges.
The updated strategy will support targeted efforts in three key outcome areas, supported by a cross-cutting priority:
1. Enhanced Business Environment for Investment and Exports
2. Improved Infrastructure and Skills for Competitiveness
3. Accelerated Job-Creation in Tourism, Agri-business, and Lagging Regions
Cross-cutting priority: Resilience to Shocks
These efforts aim to help position Sri Lanka on a path to inclusive, resilient, and sustainable economic growth.
We welcome your views on the following:
Please share any other ideas you may have.
