Since independence, Sri Lanka has been the recipient of bilateral and multilateral grants that have supported various initiatives, including knowledge transfers, health and education improvements, infrastructure development, and critical humanitarian assistance. Despite their significance, detailed information on these grants and their values has not been publicly accessible.

This interactive report presents a comprehensive analysis of 2,237 foreign grant commitments, amounting to USD 8.9 billion over the five-decade period. It highlights key donors, priority sectors, notable projects, and trends in grant receipts. Access the full report here!
