We started a Foundation in 2002 and registered it as a non-profit company in 2003. Our work builds on substantial experience and projects of the officers. In Sri Lanka, our work started with Climate Assessment, Prediction and Adaptation Group (CAPAG). CAPAG had been working at the Natural Resources Management Services of the Mahaweli Authority since 2000. We relocated to FECT’s own office at the Head works Division of the Mahaweli Authority in Digana, Sri Lanka in August 2005. FECT is re-organized into programs in Climate, Information Technology, Publishing and Engineering.

Our work is oriented towards developing useable scientific and technological information that can be applied in diverse sectors. We work actively with other Sri Lankan partners in government institutions, research institutes and universities. Our charter limits us from turning private profit and requires us to develop the science and technology field broadly.
