SRI LANKA
Mission description
In mid-2025, the EU Green Recovery Facility has reached its halfway point after two years of implementation. This marks a pivotal moment to take a step back, critically assess progress to date, and extract lessons that can inform strategic and operational decisions for the remaining duration of the project.
This mid-term strategic reflection exercise is intended to be formative in nature, offering the team a structured opportunity to evaluate achievements, challenges and approaches so far. The insights generated should support continuous learning and improvement, and strengthen the Facility’s implementation moving forward.
More details in the attached terms of reference.
Project or context description
The Facility is a four-year intervention funded by the EU. It uses the current economic crisis as an opportunity to support Sri Lanka towards a more sustainable growth trajectory. The ultimate goal entails achieving an economy that is circular, carbon neutral, and socially inclusive; which, not only, is more respectful of biodiversity resources and socio-economic/demographic context, but would also provide much needed macroeconomic stability.
In this context, the Facility harnesses policy experiences and knowledge from the EU (e.g. the European Green Deal), along with national and regional ones, to contribute to the green recovery (medium term) and transition (long term) of the Sri Lankan economy and society.
The Facility more specifically:
- SO1: Supports the development and implementation of inclusive national green, blue and sustainable public policies, with participation of women and men in all their diversity.
- SO2: Improves the business and investment climate in view of promoting an inclusive circular economy.
- SO3: Increases accessibility and availability of green and sustainable finance.
The primary direct beneficiaries of the Facility are public institutions, particularly the Ministry of Environment and the Ministry of Finance, as well as government institutions working closely with SMEs. Other direct beneficiaries include the private sector, financial institutions, and civil society.
