Japan has provided 300 million Japanese Yen (approx. LKR 565 million) grant to support Sri Lanka’s “Clean Sri Lanka” program by supplying 28 modern garbage compactors.
The initiative aims to enhance waste management and address environmental challenges in urban areas.
Accordingly, the grant, formalised during a ceremony on 3 February, 2025, will aid waste collection efforts in the Western, Northern, and Eastern Provinces, helping create a cleaner and healthier environment.
The Government of Sri Lanka thanked Japan for its continued support in fostering sustainable practices.
