The civil conflicts and tsunami have made severe impacts on the economy and people of the Eastern Province.

As part of Government’s medium term development programme, the external assistance is provided by various foreign donors for the infrastructure development and community improvement in Eastern Province.

Specially designed projects with specific objectives are being implemented in the Province with the assistance under international economic cooperation in collaboration with relevant stakeholders at national and provincial levels.

With the participation of all stakeholders, the donor funded projects play a crucial role in reconstruction of infrastructure and provision of livelihood support activities for vulnerable people to improve the living standard of the community in the Eastern Province.

The Eastern Provincial Council focuses its efforts for design and smooth implementation of the projects and for effective utilization of the resources available from the projects.
