SDB bank has entered into a strategic partnership with the Institute for Rural Sustainable Development (IRSD) to transform rural Sri Lanka through a comprehensive and impactful approach to sustainability.
Through this partnership, SDB Bank and IRSD will implement a comprehensive strategy that reflects their shared commitment to empowering rural communities and driving inclusive economic growth. The initiative will span key development areas, including the Cooperative and MSME sectors, community-based tourism, and women’s empowerment.
The partnership aligns perfectly with SDB bank’s broader vision of supporting sustainable development by addressing the unique needs of rural communities under the Rural Upliftment Program of the Bank. Collaboration with IRSD bolsters our expert knowledge and helps us in our mission to realise the untapped human, social, and economic potential of these communities.
Working together, we aim to transform rural economies and elevate the living standards of our fellow Sri Lankans” said Kapila Ariyaratne, CEO/Executive Director of SDB bank.
Under this initiative, SDB bank will play a pivotal role in strengthening the cooperative sector and empowering rural communities.
