Back in Business… As the sun rises over the town of Muttur in Trincomalee district on Sri Lanka’s east coast, 65-year-old Daoud is already hard at work rebuilding his livelihood, after losing his home and his means of making a living in last December’s tsunami. At dawn he rises to prepare hot porridge, and before long he’s pushing a cart laden with steaming dishes of gruel through an IOM camp, where his extended family has been sheltering since their homes were destroyed by towering waves. In addition to supplying shelter, IOM helped Daoud get back on his feet by providing a sturdy cart, bowls, glasses, cooking equipment, and supplies for his mobile porridge business. His home cooked meals are in hot demand among the camp residents and local townspeople, and Daoud says he’s earning more now than he did before the tsunami. 3 Psychosocial Activities IOM continues to implement psychosocial activities in seven tsunami-affected districts. The psychosocial programme benefits more than 25,000 people living in transitional settlements and surrounding communities. The programme is funded by Japan, Korea, USAID, Poland and various private contributors. Psychosocial activities include but are not limited to: ¾ IOM psychosocial mobilizers have conducted more than 50 workshops in transitional communities concerning issues such as mental health, substance abuse, child protection and youth issues. ¾ IOM has worked closely with tsunami affected communities to establish approximately

Lavinia Municipal Council, Moratuwa Municipal Council, Negambo Municipal Council, Kolonnawa Urban Council, Wattala Mabole Urban Council and Panadura Urban Council). The primary purpose of preparation of a city profile is to understand the current status of environmental resources in the city, the development activities and the nature of interaction between these two factors. It is neither scientific investigation nor a high profile technical report but it is a simple document, which tries to highlight the current problems relating to city development in the concerned area. It also emphasizes on a participatory decision making process to solve the identified problems in the city. This city profile can be further updated and improved continuously whereby the local authority staff would be able to improve their skills in preparing documents such as these, which are essential for decision making at city level and influencing the policy making authorities above them. In this context, this city profile may be considered as a first step towards developing a proper database for Wattala Mabole town supporting towards better management of its future development activities.

  • A Forecasting Model for Dengue Incidence in the District of Gampaha, Sri Lanka Gayan P
    Withanage et al. Parasites & Vectors (2018) 11:262 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13071-018-2828-2 RESEARCH Open Access A forecasting model for dengue incidence in the District of Gampaha, Sri Lanka Gayan P. Withanage1, Sameera D. Viswakula2, Y. I. Nilmini Silva Gunawardena1 and Menaka D. Hapugoda1* Abstract Background: Dengue is one of the major health problems in Sri Lanka causing an enormous social and economic burden to the country. An accurate early warning system can enhance the efficiency of preventive measures. The aim of the study was to develop and validate a simple accurate forecasting model for the District of Gampaha, Sri Lanka. Three time-series regression models were developed using monthly rainfall, rainy days, temperature, humidity, wind speed and retrospective dengue incidences over the period January 2012 to November 2015 for the District of Gampaha, Sri Lanka. Various lag times were analyzed to identify optimum forecasting periods including interactions of multiple lags. The models were validated using epidemiological data from December 2015 to November 2017. Prepared models were compared based on Akaike’s information criterion, Bayesian information criterion and residual analysis. Results: The selected model forecasted correctly with mean absolute errors of 0.07 and 0.22, and root mean squared errors of 0.09 and 0.28, for training and validation periods, respectively. There were no dengue epidemics observed in the district during the training period and nine outbreaks occurred during the forecasting period. The proposed model captured five outbreaks and correctly rejected 14 within the testing period of 24 months. The Pierce skill score of the model was 0.49, with a receiver operating characteristic of 86% and 92% sensitivity.

The project focuses on the process of, and motives for, (violent) group mobilisation and aims at the development of an analytical tool to assist policy-makers in designing conflict-sensitive development activities. In the course of the project, a preliminary assessment tool has been developed in cooperation with Dr. Michael Lund, and discussed with the researchers who carried out the assessment in four country cases: Ghana, Mozambique, Nicaragua and Sri Lanka. On the basis of this testing phase, the tool has been substantially amended and refined**. The present report, which was finalized in September 2002, results from the testing phase and reflects the structure of the analytical tool in its original form.

In order to bring the new coronavirus pandemic in the country under control, the government of Sri Lanka implemented a set of control strategies including social distancing, quarantine, lockdowns, travel restrictions and isolation of villages. The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of the overall control process with the aid of classical compartment models and network models. Our results indicate that the prevailing control strategies are effective with at least 50% contact rate reduction or with at least 40% isolation of the contact history of infected population. 1 Introduction An outbreak of a novel coronavirus (COVID{19) was reported from Wuhan province, China in December 2019 [8,20], causing numerous deaths and complications such as pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome [9,16,21].
