The Colombo Plan celebrates its 60th anniversary on 1 July 2011. With its current membership of twenty six nations, the Colombo Plan has left an indelible mark in the development process of member countries through the many development projects and its hallmark scholars. Today, the Colombo Plan which restructured in 1995, has been revitalized to continue to contribute towards human capital formation in a dynamic region, poised to excel in the 21st century. Key competencies are drug demand and supply reduction, public administration and the environment, private sector development and long-term mast degree scholarships.
'Planning Prosperity Together' - its motto emphasizes the two fundamental principles of the Colombo Plan: Mutual Help and Self Help - in recognition of a shared destiny in the Asia-Pacific region.
