Welcome to the Gamani Corea Foundation

Gamani Corea Foundation (GCF) was set up by the late Dr Gamani Corea on February 10, 2000, as a foundation to take further his passion for development globally, with particular emphasis on Sri Lanka.

The GCF is an autonomous non-profit charitable institute that aims to promote development-related economic research, while being open to research from other social sciences, especially from a multi-disciplinary perspective. Its mission is to contribute to socio-economic development of Sri Lanka and other low-income
and middle-income countries through informed, independent and high-quality research. GCF perceives research as being more than a mere academic exercise; it is primarily a catalyst for tangible socio-economic transformation of countries and societies.
