Sri Lanka

With our partners and local communities, Pact worked in Sri Lanka to strengthen civil society, independent media, and democratic values.

In Sri Lanka, Pact and our partners worked to improve governance through the CSM-STAND project. Our programming assisted Sri Lanka in maintaining a vibrant civil society that empowers citizens to advance values of citizen participation. This included linking civil society organizations across communities, districts, and regions to have a voice in local governance and national reform processes. We also supported independent media that drives positive change toward a more responsive and democratic space, with a focus on ensuring that vital information reaches and reflects Sri Lanka’s communities.
