The objective of the Skills Development Project is to expand the supply of skilled and employable workers by increasing access to quality and labor market relevant training programs. ... See More + Given the delays in the restructuring of over one year, the project ratings on progress towards development objectives and implementation progress were gradually downgraded to unsatisfactory. The Ministry of Finance recognizing these shortcomings and delays in the project restructuring have requested the Bank to cancel most of the remaining funds, US dollar 42.99 million (SDR 31.38 million), under the project and recommit these funds to other projects in Sri Lanka. This amount is slightly lower than the amount requested in the Borrower’s restructuring request letter due to the SDR/USD exchange rate. The project will close, as planned, on 31 December 2019.  See Less -
