Published purpose

The Canada Fund for Local Initiatives (CFLI) is designed to support small projects proposed and implemented by local organizations in Sri Lanka. In providing funding for small projects that offer direct social, economic, or technical assistance to local populations, the CFLI contributes to the overall goal of reducing poverty. The specific objective of this CFLI is to focus on projects related to good governance and human rights. The main organizations eligible for funding are registered and experienced Sri Lankan grassroots organizations, most of which are rural-based non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and community-based organizations. Recognized international institutions are also eligible.
