Hyde said.Sri Lanka, which was selected in December 2015 for a threshold program, will now transition into the compact program after showing continued improvement on its scorecard, including demonstrated progress on democratic rights, the statement said.More:- <a href="http://www.economynext.com/U.S._Millennium_Challenge_Corp_grants_for_Sri_Lanka-3-6873-1.html" target="_blank">http://www.economynext.com/U.S._Millennium_Challenge_Corp_grants_for_Sri_Lanka-3-6873-1.html</a></blockquote>
