The 2015 Annual Report of FPA Sri Lanka titled “In the Loop”, had the honour of winning two significant accolades at the 30^th International ARC Awards competition.

The International ARC Awards, is known as the "Academy Awards of Annual Reports", according to the financial media. The Awards are globally recognized, providing a platform for the highest standards in the annual report industry. It is the world's largest international competition honoring excellence in annual reports. The competition is open to corporations, small companies, government agencies, non-profit organizations and associations, as well as agencies and individuals involved in producing annual reports. 

As an accredited Member Association of the International Planned Parenthood Federation, FPA Sri Lanka is committed to stay globally competitive in the quality of products, services and information it provides.  We believe that the Annual Report is a vital communication tool that reaches stakeholders, donors and the general public communicating the work carried out by FPA Sri Lanka in the sphere of social development and specifically in the area of Sexual and Reproductive Health.

This global acknowledgment for the Annual Report, produced by Smart Media, comes at a very significant time as FPA Sri Lanka commenced work under a new Strategic Plan for the year 2016- 2022 to work towards achieving the four main outcomes outlined to create a country with access to Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights for all focusing on bridging the gaps and serving the underserved.
