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. To address this gap, Verité Research developed an interactive report that visualizes data on all formal grants received by the Sri Lankan Government between 1973 and 2023—a period spanning 50 years.
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.
