The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and the Ministry of Local Government and Provincial Councils have signed the agreement "to expand the Supporting Regional Governance Program (SuRG) to all 37 Pradesihya Sabhas and one Urban Council in the Eastern Province," a statement from the US embassy in Colombo said.
The US embassy said the SuRG program will be expanded to include all local authorities in the province.
It said USAID/Sri Lanka has invested nearly two billion US Dollars to benefit all the people of Sri Lanka, since 1956.
U.S. Ambassador Patricia A. Butenis said, "This demonstrates our shared vision on the importance of local government serving the needs of its citizens, and increasing transparency and accountability in service delivery and development."
