B. Expansion of rural electrification and distribution system improvement 2. This component will extend the low voltage system into remote villages and will enhance capacity and contribute to greater reliablity of the distribution network in Ampara district of the Eastern Province and Haldummulla and Ragala areas in Uva Province. The component includes the following sub-projects: (i) Ampara District Distribution Development (Eastern Province): Construction of 165 km, 33 kV medium voltage and 593 km, 0.4 kV low voltage distribution lines including 67 of 33/0.4 kV and 11/0.4 kV distribution substations to electrify 12,190 households.2 D1: Rural Electrification The rural electrification component in Ampara district will include: 63 distribution transformers, 3 phase, 100 kVA, 33/0.4 kV and 11/0.4 kV, total capacity of 6.3 MVA 4 distribution transformers, 3 phase, 160 kVA, 33/0.4 kV and 11/0.4 kV, total capacity of 0.64 MVA 165 km of 33 kV, 3 phase, overhead medium voltage distribution lines Racoon conductor 593 km of 0.4 kV, 3 phase, low voltage aerial bundled conductor overhead distribution lines Electrification of 12,190 rural households. The rural electrification component will connect new customers by extending the existing low voltage network. New distribution transformers will be installed where the existing distribution transformer capacity is insufficient or where voltage constraints require additional distribution transformers. (ii) Ampara District Distribution Network Reliability Improvement: Reliability improvement of 33 kV network comprising installation of 75 auto-reclosers and 100 load break switches 2 Poor households will be provided with a credit support to be recovered in installments over an extended period of time to enable them to finance initial connection charges. The credit will be available through the ADB's Clean Energy and Access Improvement Project (footnote 1) approved in 2009 and covering Ampara district among the three selected project districts. 5 D2: Distribution Reliability Improvement The distribution reliability improvement component will enhance the reliability and operational flexibility of the distribution network in Ampara district. This will be carried out by installing 33 kV auto reclosers and 33 kV load break switches in the existing medium voltage network.

    ICRC Sri Lanka COVID-19 Response: 2020

    ANNUAL ROUND-UP 2020 ICRC SRI LANKA COVID-19 RESPONSE MESSAGE FROM THE REGIONAL DIRECTOR In a year marked by the COVID-19 pandemic and its dire consequences for health care, economies and the well-being of populations around the world, I would like to share with you the contribution that the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) teams made in several critically affected countries in Asia and the Pacific during 2020. The efforts were aimed at supporting communities and the authorities in trying to prevent, control and manage the effects of COVID-19 on the most vulnerable. Though we have stepped into 2021, the pandemic is far from over. With the second and third waves striking many nations across the world, countries continue to rely on restrictive measures and lockdowns to mitigate the effects of the pandemic. As I write this, more than two million people have lost their lives to COVID-19 worldwide and the confirmed cases have surpassed 97 million. Of these, 14.5 million confirmed cases and more than 228,000 deaths have been reported from Asia and the Pacific. At the same time, there is a glimmer of hope in the vaccination campaigns that have unrolled in many countries. We are advocating to ensure that people affected by conflict and violence, who might otherwise be forced to the back of the queue, have an equitable access to the vaccine. Similarly, other marginalized communities like the internally displaced people, migrants, asylum seekers and detainees must be taken along in this journey towards immunization. The ICRC, together with our National Red Cross and Red Crescent Society partners, is ready to support national vaccination campaigns and facilitate access to the COVID-19 vaccine for those in difficult-to-reach vulnerable and marginalised populations in countries affected by armed conflict and violence.

    RP810 Provincial Roads Department Government of the Socialist Democratic Republic of Public Disclosure Authorized Sri Lanka Social Impact Management Framework For Improvement of Provincial Roads Public Disclosure Authorized Uva Province and Ampara District of Eastern Province April 2009 Public Disclosure Authorized Prepared by Dr. K. Karunathilake Social Development Specialist/Individual Consultant Public Disclosure Authorized EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1. Sri Lanka’s national road network is administered by the Road Development Authority while other roads are administering by the Provincial Councils and local government authorities. Almost all rural roads are under these Provincial Councils and local government authorities. However, the condition of this rural road network is very poor and as a result it does not provide sufficient road accessibility for the rural people in the country. Furthermore, the existing poor road condition has become a major cause for the poor livelihood condition of the people. Therefore, road infrastructure is one of the prioritized components for sustainable development of Sri Lanka. 2. The Government of Sri Lanka has requested financing from the World Bank to undertake a Provincial Project to upgrade and rehabilitate the dilapidated provincial road infrastructure. Provincial roads are the key connectors between the rural and the national networks. The proposed project for improvement of provincial roads in the Uva province and the Ampara district in the Eastern Province, Sri Lanka is being prepared to provide road users with improved sustainable road transport by enhancing quality, durability, and efficiency, of the provincial road network, which would be the key to economic and social development in rural Sri Lanka. 3. Both provinces are predominantly rural and land is the main asset of the people.

    Sri Lanka Page 1 of 7

    Sri Lanka Page 1 of 7 Sri Lanka International Religious Freedom Report 2008 Released by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor The Constitution accords Buddhism the "foremost place" and commits the Government to protecting it, but does not recognize it as the state religion. The Constitution also provides for the right of members of other religious groups to freely practice their religious beliefs. There was no change in the status of respect for religious freedom by the Government during the period covered by this report. While the Government publicly endorses religious freedom, in practice, there were problems in some areas. There were sporadic attacks on Christian churches by Buddhist extremists and some societal tension due to ongoing allegations of forced conversions. There were also attacks on Muslims in the Eastern Province by progovernment Tamil militias; these appear to be due to ethnic and political tensions rather than the Muslim community's religious beliefs. The U.S. Government discusses religious freedom with the Government as part of its overall policy to promote human rights. U.S. Embassy officials conveyed U.S. Government concerns about church attacks to government leaders and urged them to arrest and prosecute the perpetrators. U.S. Embassy officials also expressed concern to the Government about the negative impact anticonversion laws could have on religious freedom. The U.S. Government continued to discuss general religious freedom concerns with religious leaders. Section I. Religious Demography The country has an area of 25,322 square miles and a population of 20.1 million. Approximately 70 percent of the population is Buddhist, 15 percent Hindu, 8 percent Christian, and 7 percent Muslim.

Since December 2011, for the second consecutive season, rainfall has been scanty. Many of the water reservoirs as a result have dried up and people living in the worst hit remote rural areas do not have access to safe drinking water. Their condition is becoming critical. Since July 2012, the Government of Sri Lanka and other actors, including SLRCS, have been trucking in water to affected communities.
