The 28 member countries of the Colombo Plan are strategically categorised into three distinct regional clusters. These regional groups serve as platforms for member countries to address shared challenges, exchange best practices, and implement targeted development programmes within their respective geographic contexts.
These groups also serve as conduits enabling member countries to address region-specific challenges, exchange knowledge, and implement tailored developmental initiatives.
