    Forced Relocation after the Indian Ocean Tsunami 2004 Forced Relocation after the Case study of vulnerable populations in three relocation settlements in Galle, Sri Lanka Indian Ocean Tsunami 2004 by Nishara Fernando Case study of vulnerable populations in three relocation settlements in Galle, Sri Lanka Populations may be displaced mainly because of natural and technological disasters, large-scale development projects and conflicts. Various governments have used by Nishara Fernando voluntary and involuntary relocation of such displaced populations into new settle- ments. However, relocation needs careful planning as it builds new communities. Without this, relocated communities could become more vulnerable to poverty and chronic poverty situations, which could lead to relocation failures. This PhD dissertation investigates the impact of forced relocation on the livelihoods of residents who lived in the city of Galle, Southern Province of Sri Lanka, prior to the 2004 tsunami, who were forcibly relocated into new settlements situated far from Galle city because of the “buffer zone regulation” (no construction zone). This study also examines livelihood strategies (i.e., coping and enhancement) employed by forcibly relocated people against various stresses and risks emanat- ing from forced relocation by adopting a socio-geographical approach. It further attempts to show how all these risks and stresses have increased social vulnerability, threatening the livelihood security of the relocated people in general and in some groups, in particular in three research locations. RESEARCH SERIES Finally, various findings of this research study will no doubt shed more light to form new policies on disaster-induced displacement and relocation processes. Nishara Fernando earned his PhD in Geography at the University of Bonn, Germany, while conducting his research within the structure of the United Nations University Institute for Environment and Human Security (UNU-EHS).

Successive governments have welcomed NGO and foreign donor funds for large scale construction projects. At the same time, with the support of Sinhala nationalist groups, governments have also portrayed NGOs and foreign donors as imperial agents. This criticism has been used against NGOs involved in the promotion and protection of human rights, especially in the war affected areas. This inconsistent behaviour of governments towards NGOs and foreign donors reflects opportunistic politics.

  • Sri Lanka Acca Cities in Sri Lanka
    SRI LANKA ACCA CITIES IN SRI LANKA (From the presentation by Nandasiri Gamage, from the Women’s Co-op, at the ACHR regional meeting in Bangkok) The ACCA projects in Sri Lanka are being implemented by a country-wide network of women’s savings groups Kilinochchi, (Women’s Co-op), in close partnership with the NGO Northern Province Sevanatha. They have used the ACCA resources to help create, test and standardize a city-wide slum up- grading procedure, which they call the Urban Settle- ment Upgrading Program (USUP), and which they are now replicating in all the ACCA cities. This USUP process has several clear steps, including surveying and mapping the city’s slums, identifying potential va- cant land, presenting the survey data to the municipality for approval, setting up savings groups, establishing a Batticaloa, joint city development committee (usually chaired by Matale, Eastern Province the mayor), preparing city-wide upgrading action plans Central Province and then implementing actual upgrading and housing projects, as per the action plan. Because Women’s Co-op has 70,000 members, in 22 of the country’s 25 districts, with collective savings of some US$ 14 million, this is an organization with the Nuwara Eliya, scale and clout to make this kind of community-driven Central Province and city-wide slum upgrading into a national process! The ACCA Program, in turn, has helped Women’s Co- op to add the elements of housing, land tenure and Moratuwa, settlement upgrading into their already very large and Western Province sophisticated programs for saving, livelihood, welfare, health, culture, disaster relief and skills training.

Lessons Learned Foreword As one of the first environmental initiatives funded by the World Bank in Sri Lanka, the Metropolitan Environmental Improvement Program or MEIP, as it is commonly called, has lived up to high expectations. MEIP played a pioneering role in the evolution of the World Bank's dialogue with Sri Lankan stakeholders on environmental issues. It provided a venue for the government, civil society including nongovernmental organizations, the private sector, and the media to engage in constructive dialogue. Environmental policy, legislation and institutional reform in Sri Lanka have benefited from MEIP programs. MEIP has also assisted in mobilizing resources for environmental investments, including the World Bank-funded Colombo Environmental Improvement Project. Through its pilot and community demonstration projects, MEIP has not only made a difference in the lives of people, it has created structures that will enable communities to improve their own environment in the future.
