More than 260,000 civilians were displaced due to the conflict. Those Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) who had been accommodated in various IDP camps started to return to their own villages in October 2009. Although the conflict has been terminated, there are many urgent issues to be tackled to promote resettlement of the IDPs. It is essential to assist the IDPs in rebuilding their lives and livelihoods and resettling in their own villages in northern Sri Lanka, where the severe military confrontation took place, in order to share the peace dividends fairly among the people affected by the conflict and not to widen the socio-economic disparity. Towards this end, Japan lays stress on its assistance in rehabilitation and reconstruction of the facilities that benefit the regions and communities affected by the conflicts. Along the direction, in April 2010, the “Project for Development Planning for the Urgent Rehabilitation of the Resettlement Community in Mannar District” (hereinafter called the Project) was commenced by the JICA Project Team. Objectives of the Project: The objectives of the Project are as follows: (1) To formulate a Road Map to promote rehabilitation of internally displaced persons (IDPs) and of socio-economic activities in Mannar District. (2) To implement the Pilot Projects and to reflect the feedback of lessons learned from the projects to the Road Map. Key Principle of the Project: The Project is planned to bridge the gap and to promote a smooth shift from emergency humanitarian relief to development activities by presenting the above-mentioned Road Map for the rehabilitation/ reconstruction phase. It is suggested that the Road Map will be utilized by the central, provincial and district administration of Sri Lanka as a tool to properly set the priorities for reconstruction and development of Mannar District and to negotiate with donors on necessary assistance in accordance with the set priorities. The Road Map is formulated through the following process. i Final Report The Project for Development Planning for the Urgent Rehabilitation of _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Summary The Resettlement Community in Mannar District Pilot Projects Survey on the condition of the Project Area after IDPs' Resettlement (Socio-economic Framework) Review of the past Framing the projects/ assistance strategies and Needs Selection Implementation Evaluation on IDPs approaches for Assessment Formulation of Promotion of the Road Map IDPs' Rehabilitation Plan for the Resettlement North Identification of Baseline Endline the needs of IDPs and survey survey Rehabilitation and Development needs Verification process of the strategies and approaches of the area 1st Step 2nd Step 3rd Step 4th Step Strategies: Taking lessons learned from the past experiences and the ground situation of Mannar District, the following strategies are framed for the Project. (1) Assistance based on the needs (2) Rehabilitation process with the scope for sustainable development (3) Connectedness to the government/ local systems Target Area of the Project and Project Period: The Project target area is Mannar District. The Project period to implement Pilot Projects and formulate the Road Map is 30 months, from April 2010 until September 2012. Chapter 2 Condition of the Project Area after Resettlement of IDPs General Conditions of Mannar District after the Conflict*: Demographic and natural data, and information on (1) livelihood and land use, (2) social services and related infrastructure such as water supply, road and transport, electricity supply, health and education, and (3) economic activities and related infrastructure such as agriculture, livestock, irrigation, fisheries and cooperatives were gathered and analyzed to clarify the prioritized issues in the Project area. Status and Progress of IDP Resettlement: Since the Government had commenced the ‘Accelerated Returns Programme’ on 22 October 2009, the IDPs of Mannar District started to return to their original places according to the demining status, mainly from Manik Farm in * Data and information presented in this chapter were mainly gathered during the initial survey conducted from May to November 2010. ii The Project for Development Planning for the Urgent Rehabilitation of Final Report _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________The Resettlement Community in Mannar District Summary Vavuniya. In November 2010, the Government declared the end of the official return process of IDPs from Manik Farm to Mannar District. Socio-Economic Classification of the DS/ AGA Divisions: Based on the information on social services, economic activities and external assistance gathered and analyzed by the Project Team, the socio-economic status as well as the degree of external assistance of the respective Divisional Secretary (DS)/ Assistant Government Agent (AGA) Divisions in Mannar District were classified and a socio-economic framework that includes development potentials and disincentives of the Divisions was formulated. Review of the Past Projects/ Assistance for IDPs: Some of the important lessons learned from the past experiences of supporting the IDPs are: (1) Need of a strategy for sustainable development (2) Attention to the process for capacity development of the target people/ organizations (3) Importance of collaboration with the government institutions Rehabilitation Plan for the North and Assistance for IDPs: Since June 2009, to resettle the families within a short space of time, “Vaddakkin Vasantham (Northern Spring)” has been planned and carried out by the Presidential Task Force (PTF). The Joint Plan for Assistance for the Northern Province (JPA) 2011 and 2012 were formulated to facilitate resettlement of IDPs and to ensure the long-term sustainable development of the Northern Province. Development Priorities of Sri Lanka, prepared by the Department of National Planning, is not a specific plan for the North but encompasses the entire country. However, targets in each sector presented in the paper need to be referred to in the rehabilitation/ reconstruction and development activities in the North since they are national targets for the whole country. Emergency humanitarian relief and assistance such as rehabilitation of village infrastructure and livelihoods has been rendered to IDP returnees by various organizations besides the Government’s own efforts.

  • Fit.* IRRIGATION and MULTI-PURPOSE DEVELOPMENT
    fit.* The Historic Jaya Ganga — built by King Dbatustna in tbi <>tb century AD to carry the waters of the Kala Wewa to the ancient city tanks of Anuradbapura, 57 miles away, while feeding a number of village tanks in its course. This channel is also famous for the gentle gradient of 6 ins. per mile for the first I7 miles and an average of 1 //. per mile throughout its length. Both tbeKalawewa andtbefiya Garga were restored in 1885 — 18 8 8 by the British, but not to their fullest capacities. New under the Mabaweli Diversion project, the Kill Wewa his been augmented and the Jaya Gingi improved to carry 1000 cusecs of water. The history of our country dates back to the 6th century B.C. When the legendary Vijaya landed in L->nka, he is believed to have found an island occupied by certain tribes who had already developed a rudimentary sys­ tem of irrigation. Tradition has it that Kuveni was spinning cotton on the bund of a small lake which was presumably part of this ancient system. The development of an ancient civilization which was entirely depen­ dent on an irrigation system that grew in size and complexity through the years is described in our written history. Many examples are available which demonstrate this systematic development of water and land re­ sources throughout the so-called dry zone of our country over very long periods of time. The development of a water supply and irrigation system around the city of Anuradhapuia may be taken as an example.

  • Water Balance Variability Across Sri Lanka for Assessing Agricultural and Environmental Water Use W.G.M
    Agricultural Water Management 58 (2003) 171±192 Water balance variability across Sri Lanka for assessing agricultural and environmental water use W.G.M. Bastiaanssena,*, L. Chandrapalab aInternational Water Management Institute (IWMI), P.O. Box 2075, Colombo, Sri Lanka bDepartment of Meteorology, 383 Bauddaloka Mawatha, Colombo 7, Sri Lanka Abstract This paper describes a new procedure for hydrological data collection and assessment of agricultural and environmental water use using public domain satellite data. The variability of the annual water balance for Sri Lanka is estimated using observed rainfall and remotely sensed actual evaporation rates at a 1 km grid resolution. The Surface Energy Balance Algorithm for Land (SEBAL) has been used to assess the actual evaporation and storage changes in the root zone on a 10- day basis. The water balance was closed with a runoff component and a remainder term. Evaporation and runoff estimates were veri®ed against ground measurements using scintillometry and gauge readings respectively. The annual water balance for each of the 103 river basins of Sri Lanka is presented. The remainder term appeared to be less than 10% of the rainfall, which implies that the water balance is suf®ciently understood for policy and decision making. Access to water balance data is necessary as input into water accounting procedures, which simply describe the water status in hydrological systems (e.g. nation wide, river basin, irrigation scheme). The results show that the irrigation sector uses not more than 7% of the net water in¯ow. The total agricultural water use and the environmental systems usage is 15 and 51%, respectively of the net water in¯ow.

ABSTRACT Water for Agriculture sector in Sri Lanka is facing challenges through increased demands by other sectors and also confronts the issues of a market economy and international and regional trade agreements that are exerting pressures on prices and thus farmer incomes. Issues of ability of most farmers to secure full employment from irrigated farming thus impacting on their income generation avenues are requiring new initiatives as well. This study identified the potential river basins and irrigation schemes for further development. Utilize the water re- sources in an effective, efficient, equitable and sustainable manner, consistent with the social, economic, environmental and political needs of present and future generations by practicing effective water management. Shift from subsistence agriculture to commercially oriented agri- culture leads to increase in production, especially of high value of crops that would readily find a create employment opportunities and ensure enhanced income level and improve higher standard of living.

  • Feasibility Study GREEN CLIMATE FUND FUNDING PROPOSAL I
    Annex II – Feasibility Study GREEN CLIMATE FUND FUNDING PROPOSAL I Feasibility Study i Annex II – Feasibility Study GREEN CLIMATE FUND FUNDING PROPOSAL I Technical Feasibility Report Strengthening the resilience of smallholder farmers in the Dry Zone to climate variability and extreme events through an integrated approach to water management ii Annex II – Feasibility Study GREEN CLIMATE FUND FUNDING PROPOSAL I Forward Sri Lanka is a country highly vulnerable to climate change. As with many countries around the world, the country has experienced the impact of rising temperatures and erratic rainfall patterns associated with prolonged droughts and floods, respectively. In response to this situation, Sri Lanka has played an active role in climate change adaptation activities, both locally and globally. The Framework Convention on Climate Change was ratified by Sri Lanka in 1993, and action was taken to ratify Kyoto Protocol and establish a Climate Change Secretariat. Other actions include formulation of national policies, strategic plans and strategies including a National Adaptation Plan (NAP) for Climate Change Impacts in 2015. Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs) of Sri Lanka were developed in 2015. Over the last few years, Sri Lanka has received a limited amount of adaptation finance from existing global vertical funds including the Special Climate Change Fund and Adaptation Fund. A large proportion of Sri Lankans are dependent on livelihoods connected to agriculture. Substantial investments in irrigation and agriculture, especially in the Dry Zone, have made the country self-sufficient in rice. However, the Dry Zone extending over 60% of the land, is heavily impacted by climate change. The loss of production from climate-related hazards affects mostly farmers with small land holdings, and undermines domestic food security as well as livelihood opportunities.
