About Us

DevPro is a registered company, limited by guarantee, in Sri Lanka. Formed in 2021 (Reg. No. GL249365) with Oxfam Australia’s support, it is governed by a Board of Directors. DevPro intends to apply its profits, if any, in promoting its objectives, and prohibit the payment of any dividend to its members.

DevPro was formed in response to changing dynamics and manifestations of poverty, the recognized need for advanced development programming, and changes of development aid revenue streams. It built on 30 years of legacy of Oxfam in Sri Lanka (OiSL) with a commitment to be guided by the same values and strive for the quality that has earned lasting recognition and appreciation for OiSL.

DevPro aims to become a leading development consultancy firm in Asia by 2030.
