This has transformed the skills requirements of the workforce. The country is following an ambitious development plan, published under the title ‘Mahinda Chintana,'aiming to become a regional hub in strategic economic areas and to transform itself into an efficiency driven middle income economy. As a result, the demand for skills is likely to accelerate. Unfortunately, despite high achievements in general education, major skills gaps and mismatches in the labor market remain that constrain firm and worker productivity. The government of Sri Lanka recognizes the critical importance of developing a skilled labor force for achieving the country's development goals, and it is committed to building a high quality, market demand driven, and responsive workforce development (WfD) system. The strategic directions for WfD are outlined in both ‘Mahinda Chintana' and the National Human Resources and Employment Policy. The WfD sector wide strategy is being developed by the Ministry of Finance and Planning and other relevant line ministries to operationalize these strategic directions. The SABER WfD diagnostic tool presents a great opportunity to enrich the policy dialogue on WfD in Sri Lanka, helping the government of Sri Lanka identify key bottlenecks and set priorities in the WfD process. 2015-11-18T22:57:06Z 2015-11-18T22:57:06Z 2014-01 Report http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2015/10/25165334/sri-lanka-saber-workforce-development-country-report-2014-null http://hdl.handle.net/10986/23039 English en_US CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research :: Working Paper Publications & Research Sri Lanka
