Building and Improving Economic and Social Infrastructure BUILDING AND IMPROVING ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT OF TELEVISION BROADCASTING PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT OF TELEVISION BROADCASTING PROGRAM 1. Program Summary and JICA’s Cooperation Colombo Colombo Operation Room Studio (1) Program Purpose Sri Lanka Government wants to use television broadcasting as indispensable media to develop the country and improve the people’s livelihood. The Rupavahini National Channel is a television station which Japanese Government has cooperated from the early stage of the foundation, and Grant assistance has been conducted three times, in 1979, 1980, and 1984. However, the equipment of broadcasting and the building had become too old, and the technical problems in the program production, the technology of broadcasting reception, and the maintenance of the instruments have occurred, so that it has been hard for them to produce various programs. Therefore, Sri Lanka Government requested Japanese Government to conduct Grant assistance to update the broadcasting equipment and build a new building and dispatch the experts to strength the technology of broadcasting. (2) Program Objectives and Overall Goal The Program was executed in order to enrich TV programs and provide the people with high-quality information by the maintenance of the broadcasting equipment of the Rupavhini National Channel and the technical assistance to the staffs. (3) Program Scope ① Grant Assistance: Because the broadcasting equipment of the Rupavhini National Channel which is the only television station in Sri Lanka has become too old and the broadcasting may stop, we supplied them with the substitutes for the equipment which became too old or runs short. 1 BUILDING AND IMPROVING ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT OF TELEVISION BROADCASTING PROGRAM ② Technical assistance: The technical assistance about the establishment of the management system of parts and materials for maintenance and the creation of the operation manual was conducted. Also we executed the technical aid to implement Third-country Group Training. (4) Program Component The Program consists of the following projects: - Improvement of The Rupavhini National Channel (GA: Fiscal 1996/13.6 hundred million yen) - Television Broadcasting Engineering (Dispatch of experts: 90.12–93/3, 93/9– 95/9, 95/9-97/8,97/8-99/8) - Technology of color broadcasting (Third - color group training: 1988 – 1997) (5) Executing Agency The Rupavhini National Channel (6) Present Status of the Program/Viewpoint fro Evaluation Only Japanese Government supports the Rupavhini National Channel continuously. Therefore we can say that the aid by Japanese Government contributes to the improvement of the broadcasting ability of the TV station one hundred percent. In this evaluation, we pay attention not only to the direct effect by the aid but also to the ripple effect and we evaluate comprehensively. 2. Evaluation Results (1) Relevance Only Japanese Government supports the Rupavhini National Channel (Sri Lanka Rupavanini Corporation: SLRC ) in the cooperation of instruments and technology, and the purpose of Grant assistance of 1996 was to update and displace the instruments which had been supplied in Grant assistance of 1980’s.
