Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has terminated several projects it deemed wasteful, including a climate adaptation initiative in Sri Lanka.
In a post on ‘X’, the Department announced the cancellation of 199 projects, highlighting two specific terminations.
“Great coordination across 35 agencies over the last two days to terminate 199 wasteful contracts saving USD250 million, including:
Contract for ‘Asia Pacific – Sri Lanka climate change mitigation adaptation and resilience coordinator services for forest service’
Workshop for ‘Intercultural communication diversity dialogue circle communicating across differences,’” the post stated.
