Celebrating the Successful Completion of the Project (2019–31 December 2025)
As we welcome the New Year 2026, the Climate Smart Irrigated Agriculture Project (CSIAP) extends its warmest wishes to all stakeholders, partners, farmer communities, and staff for a year filled with good health, peace, and prosperity.
This New Year marks a historic milestone for the CSIAP, as
the Project successfully completed all planned project tasks on 31 December
2025, bringing to a close its implementation period from 2019 to 31 December
2025. Over these sixyears, the CSIAP has played a pivotal role in advancing
climate-resilient irrigated agriculture across Sri Lanka through sustained
investments in infrastructure development, farmer capacity building,
institutional strengthening, and market-oriented agricultural practices.
The achievements realized during this period are the
result of strong collaboration and unwavering commitment from farmer
organizations, government institutions, development partners, and the dedicated
CSIAP team at national, provincial, and field levels. Together, these efforts
have strengthened rural livelihoods, enhanced agricultural productivity, and
improved the resilience of farming communities to climate change. The impacts
of these efforts will continue well beyond the project’s lifespan, supporting
livelihoods and contributing to national food security.
As the CSIAP transitions from implementation to
legacy, the foundations laid between 2019 and 2025 will continue to deliver
long-term benefits to the agricultural sector and the nation. We express our
sincere gratitude to all who contributed to this journey and take pride in the
lasting impact created through collective action.
With hope and optimism, the CSIAP looks forward to the
future inspired by the successes of the past.
Happy New Year 2026!
