$9.65m UN grant for EV adoption, approved in 2022, still unused — who's accountable?

Sri Lanka's latest electric vehicle audit flagged a project that's been stuck for four years. UNEP and the Global Environment Facility approved USD 9.65 million in September 2022 to help promote EV adoption here, but the audit found it still isn't operational — blamed on the project being passed between ministries, a cooperation agreement that was never finalised, and no monitoring framework to track what little progress was made. One side calls this a textbook case of bureaucratic failure: foreign money sitting idle for years while EV owners deal with patchy charging, no battery disposal system, and policies that keep shifting. The other side says international grants like this always move slowly through red tape, and rushing it without the right agreements in place could have wasted the money faster, not slower. If that money had actually reached the ground on time, do you think it would have changed anything you've personally dealt with as an EV owner or buyer — charging, servicing, resale — or is the real problem something no grant was ever going to fix? ජාත්‍යන්තර මුදල් ලැබුනත් ක්‍රියාත්මක කරන්න බලධාරීන්ට බැරිද?
