The U.S. Agency for International Affairs (USAID) is funding development of Sri Lanka’s offshore outsourcing industry. USAID is contributing about $9 million to the effort, with private sector matching it about three-to-one. Training programs are intended to provide specific training in offshore business process support, English, and Java. Sri Lanka, with its proximity to India and relatively low wages, already has a developing offshore industry, with 50,000 people employed in IT and BPO industries.”]
