The programme, designed in consultation with the Government, and other national and international stakeholders, will support the development agenda and priorities of the Government of Sri Lanka as outlined in the National Policy Framework, “Vistas of Prosperity and Splendour”, which prioritizes strengthening health, supporting the economic and social contribution of women, and harnessing the power of youth, focusing on those furthest left behind.
It will address gender and social norm change as a pathway to accelerating progress on the three transformative goals. The programme proposes ensuring that women, young people and other marginalized groups in Sri Lanka are empowered to exercise their full rights, representation and agency and live free from discrimination and violence.
