  1. European Union Delegation to Sri Lanka and the Maldives

The European Union (EU) Delegation to Sri Lanka and the Maldives is the funding partner of the EU Green Recovery Facility[1]. Cooperation between the EU and Sri Lanka is based on the partners’ mutual respect for democratic principles and human rights and covers a number of key areas of cooperation, including; diversification of trade and investment; networking between EU and Sri Lankan business communities; strengthening technical, economic and cultural linkages and providing technical assistance to Sri Lanka to interact more effectively with the EU; supporting Sri Lanka’s efforts to improve the living conditions of the poorer sections of the population; green recovery, environmental protection and sustainable management of natural resources.

As part of the Global Gateway Initiative, the EU Green Recovery Facility is part of a series of EU funded initiatives being rolled out between 2021 and 2027 under the Team Europe Initiative (TEI) “Green Recovery”, which will mainly focus on green economic recovery and on valuing and protecting Sri Lanka’s rich biodiversity.

  1. EU Green Recovery Facility

The EU Green Recovery Facility (The Facility) is a four-year intervention funded by the European Union (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 a green (and blue) 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 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 supports the mainstreaming of green economy (GE) challenges and objectives in the Sri Lankan policy landscape, as well as the facilitation of bringing GE policy to action by contributing to the following specific objectives:

  • SO1: Support the development and implementation of inclusive national green, blue and sustainable public policies, with participation of women and men in all their diversity.

  • SO2: Improve the business and investment climate in view of promoting an inclusive circular economy (both green and blue).

  • SO3: Increase accessibility and availability to 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 focused on SMEs. Other direct beneficiaries include the private sector, financial institutions, and civil society.

 

  1. Background and justification

Clear, visually engaging, and consistent communication is essential for the success of the EU Green Recovery Facility’s outreach and awareness-raising efforts. Well-designed visual content supports stakeholder engagement, ensures broader dissemination of project messages, and strengthens the Facility’s identity and credibility.

In this context, the Facility requires the support of a graphic design consultant to support the production of a range of high-quality communication materials aligned with EU and Expertise France branding guidelines.

[1] “EU Green Recovery Facility” is the “brand name” of the Green Policy Dialogue Facility (GPDF) initiative.
