<p>The Secretary of State has condemned the attacks and offered her condolences to
those affected. DFID is not providing support to the Sri Lankan government - DFID’s
bilateral programme in Sri Lanka closed in 2006 when the country graduated to middle
income status. In 2016 (most recent figures), the UK’s attributed share of core multilateral
funding to Sri Lanka was £30.417m, primarily through the World Bank. This includes
£8.3 million of the FCO’s Conflict, Stability and Security Fund (CSSF) programme focused
on post-conflict community reconciliation and the Global Mine Action Programme which
helps to build peace and support development in countries affected by landmines.</p>
