SRI LANKA 2010 COMMON HUMANITARIAN ACTION PLAN

1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Following from the escalation of the conflict in the Northern Vanni area during 2008, heavy fighting continued in early 2009. During the first months of the year, large numbers of civilians were trapped in close proximity to the fighting. Despite high levels of insecurity and increasing hardship created by growing shortages of food, medicine and basic services, the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) prevented civilians from leaving the area. On 20 January, the Sri Lankan military designated a “safe zone” between the Kilinochchi and Mullaitivu but fighting soon engulfed this area and the civilian population was forced eastward. Although several thousands of civilians managed to flee during the first months of 2009, the majority ended up on a small strip of land on the North-Eastern coast in the District of Mullaitivu, where the final battles of the conflict were fought in April and May. On 18 May 2009 the President of Sri Lanka declared the country’s 26 year-long conflict with the LTTE separatist movement over.

During the end stages of the conflict, nearly 300,000 people fled the Northern Vanni region, the vast majority into the North-Central district of Vavuniya. From early 2009, the Government of Sri-Lanka (GoSL) provided significant resources for land clearing, drainage, electricity, water supply to set up displacement camps. Menik Farm, located outside of Vavuniya, grew to include nine zones and at the height of the emergency accommodated over 225,000 people. In support of the Government’s lead, UN agencies and NGOs provided food, safe water supply and adequate sanitation facilities household and hygiene materials as well as support for education, health and nutritional services to IDPs in camps. Against large-scale needs, the initial humanitarian response in 2009 faced many challenges which included crowded IDP sites, overstretched health, education, water supply and sanitation infrastructure, strains on distribution mechanism and inconsistent access for humanitarian organizations.

As the post-conflict situation stabilized, basic conditions inside IDP camps improved. In contrast, there was little progress on freedom of movement restrictions on place for IDP in camps until late in the year when the Government began to release vulnerable people into host and community care. On 1 December the GoSL announced that camps would be open. Since then several thousands of IDP have been moving outside of the camps each day, although a registration and pass systems remains in place in most of the sites.

Shortly after the end of the conflict, the Presidential Task Force for Resettlement, Development and Security in the Northern Province (PTF) announced a 180-day plan which included the intention to resettle 70% or more of the displaced population by the end of 2009. Initially, the pace of returns was slow but with the announcement on 22 October of an accelerated resettlement programme, nearly84,000 were moved to their districts of origin or released into host or community care during the following month. Rapid progress has continued and as of the end of December, nearly 66% the population is back in their home districts. Many of these returns however, are not yet completed as obstacles remain to bring people back to their homes. A key priority now is to ensure that returns are safe and that minimum service conditions are in place to support sustainable resettlement. As an essential precondition to this process, increased emphasis is being placed on humanitarian demining and increasing capacity to support essential services led by the GoSL.

The total request for the 2010 CHAP is $1337,688,785 proposed by 55 organizations to implement 173 projects in the Northern and Eastern districts of Sri Lanka. The CHAP covers both support for the return process and care and maintenance for a residual caseload of IDPs who are expected to remain in camps for some months into 2010. The priority caseload of concern agreed in the 2010 CHAP is 386,600 out of a larger caseload of 539,00 vulnerable persons, consisting of IDPs from the most recent phase of displacement as well as those still displaced from the 2006 to 2008 period, refugee returning from India and newly returned / resettled persons. Close coordination with the GoSL at national and district levels is key to successful implementation of CHAP projects, both to address remaining relief needs for the still vulnerable conflict-affected groups but also to begin to move toward meaningful stabilization, which can offer a true peace dividend.

The multi-faceted nature of the response, together with continued operational complexities, has been figured into the overall appeal requirements. With families moving from centrally located camps to their homes in 29 divisions in five different districts, significant and flexible resources are required. In

SRI LANKA 2010 COMMON HUMANITARIAN ACTION PLAN many of the return areas, houses and infrastructure have been ravaged by conflict and neglect and both temporary and medium-term interventions are needed to support the basic needs of the returning population. While the GoSL has moved quickly to put in place basic structures, the capacity and resources offered by the wider UN and NGO community is crucial to effectively respond to the scale of the needs, both for those still in camps as well as to ensure sustainability of the resettlement process.

2. 2009 IN REVIEW

2.1 Changes in the context On 18 May 2009 the GoSL announced the end of the 26 year-long conflict with the separatist movement of the LTTE. During the months preceding the final battles, the population inside the conflict zone faced multiple displacements, dwindling supplies of food and basic materials and high levels of insecurity associated with close proximity to the fighting. As the conflict entered its final stages, large numbers of people fled - mainly into the North-Central town of Vavuniya, but also into Jaffna, Mannar and Trincomalee. The massive influx of IDPs during April and May created significant challenges in addressing the basic needs of the nearly 270,000 people accommodated in 21 sites. Government capacities, as well as those of humanitarian aid agencies were taxed, particularly in the Vavuniya district, where Menik Farm was being established to accommodate the vast majority of displaced population from the Vanni. In addition to IDPs in camps approximately 11,000 suspected LTTE combatants, including some 300 children have been separated and sent to rehabilitation centres, according to GoSL sources.

Significant progress was made on improving conditions in the IDP sites during the months following the end of the conflict. In support of the Government’s lead, UN and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) have been providing emergency assistance in food, shelter, water and sanitation, hygiene and household supplies, health and education. During the final months of 2009, measures taken to mitigate the impact of the Monsoon season combined with releases and returns provided for improvements to previous overcrowding and moved provision of services to within international standards.

Soon after the end of conflict, the GoSL indicated that they intended to resettle the majority of IDPs by the end of 2009, as a part of its 180-day-plan led by the PTF for Resettlement, Development and Security in the Northern Provision. Initial return progress was slow, hampered by ongoing security concerns both related to screening of the displaced population and mines and Unexploded Explosive Ordnance (UXO) scattered throughout the former conflict areas. In October, the GoSL started an “accelerated resettlement” programme, and as of the end of December approximately 156,000 people have moved back to their districts of origin. In addition, nearly 29,000 people from vulnerable groups were released between August and December into family and community care. The resettlement process is continuing with Government indicating that the majority of IDPs will be back to their home districts by January 2010. A key priority for returns is ensuring that they are safe and that basic assistance and services are provided to create conditions to facilitate a smooth resettlement.

In the East, relative stability prevailed throughout the year with an improved security environment, continued investment in infrastructure and support to economic development. Despite notable progress, many still vulnerable communities faced various challenges such as the loss of productive assets and restrictions on accessing fishing and farmlands. Tensions within and between communities continued and contributed to various protection concerns, reinforcing the need for strengthened rule of law. Mine risks, human rights and legal vulnerabilities also contribute to the still difficult human security environment faced in certain areas of the East.

More generally, the impact of the global food crisis is evident across Sri Lanka. Increasing food and fuel prices are also affecting the overall cost of humanitarian assistance, while the global economic down-turn risks reducing available resources as donors have less available funding. Unpredictable weather patterns including flooding and drought, which are at least partially attributed to the effects of climate change, has further increased vulnerability among affected populations in parts of Sri Lanka.

2.2 Humanitarian achievements and lessons learned The strategic priorities identified for the humanitarian response in the CHAP 2009 were as follows: I. Emergency relief response to reduce vulnerabilities among IDPs and returnees; II. Protection of IDPs, returnees and other affected populations; III. Early recovery for return and resettlement of IDPs and host communities.

The first quarter of 2009 witnessed continued advances by the Sri Lanka Security Forces into remaining rebel-held territory, which resulted in significant displacement and associated humanitarian needs. Heavy fighting continued and, despite ever-growing safety concerns, the LTTE continued to prohibit civilians from leaving the conflict area, which compounded security concerns and made access to the trapped, vulnerable population increasingly difficult. The final battles in April and May were fought in a small strip of land on the North-Eastern coast of Sri Lanka prompting the last influxes of nearly 200,000 people in less than one month.

With the end of the conflict the priority area for humanitarian relief focussed on the needs of the 270,000 IDPs in the nine zones of the large Menik Farm site, seven smaller IDP camps in the Vavuniya district, and 14 IDP camps in Mannar, Jaffna and Trincomalee districts. From September 2009, significant returns began under GoSL-sponsored programme and support for the returns and

SRI LANKA 2010 COMMON HUMANITARIAN ACTION PLAN resettlement process became a priority, alongside continued assistance for IDPs remaining in the camps. The 2009 CHAP also covered basic needs for 7,000 IDPs in the East, who had been displaced during the 2006/2007 period of fighting.

Protection has been a cross-cutting priority for both relief and return activities including for monitoring, documentation, family reunification, reporting and individual action. These activities were essential to address concerns stemming from potential insecurity, limitations on freedom of movement, sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) and other human rights concerns. In the area of early recovery, very little funding was received, significantly limiting the scope of activities. Given the importance of early recovery activities in supporting sustainability of returns, progressive restoration of community structures and a return to normalcy, a dedicated strategic planning framework and funding mechanism to draw attention to these needs and support resource mobilization was determined as necessary. Consequently, an Early Recovery Plan for the East was developed and included wider support in the areas of Livelihoods and Income-Generating Activities (IGAs), Community-Based Infrastructure and Governance.

Food Aid (UN Lead Agency: World Food Programme [WFP]) During 2009, WFP-led Food Sector coordinated the provision of basic food rations to address the needs of nearly half a million people, including approximately 270,000 beneficiaries accommodated in displacement camps in Vavuniya, Jaffna, Trincomalee and Mannar districts and 187,559 beneficiaries staying with friends and relatives in the North and the East. Meals in the camps were initially provided through communal cooking arrangements with individual cooking introduced in some of the camps in mid-2009. Twenty-two humanitarian organizations/NGOs contributed complementary food commodities for IDPs in camps during 2009. In addition, the WFP food ration was increased from 1,900 to 2,100 kcal/person/day in order to compensate for the lack of access to supplemental food supplies faced by IDPs in the camps.

During the period from January to December 2009, WFP, the Ministry of Nation Building and Estate Infrastructure Development (MoNBEID), other government and food sector partners provided some 62,171 metric tons (MTs) of mixed food commodities (rice 24,689; wheat flour 23,093; pulses 6,611; oil 2,445; sugar 2,316; corn soya blend (CSB) 2,703 MTs; canned fish 232; and Salt 81). In response to the sudden influx of IDPs from the Northern conflict area in April and May, UN and NGO partners worked together to provide life-saving emergency assistance, including more than 80,000 hot meals to IDPs during the final large scale exodus of people from the Vanni. NGO partners, supported by WFP logistics distributed the meals at transit points and in the newly established IDP camps. Supplementary feeding was initiated in the IDP camps in mid-2009 and includes provision of micronutrients fortified food such as CSB oil and sugar to approximately 40,000 children under-five, pregnant women and lactating mothers.

A food sector review of strategic priorities confirmed the ongoing need for supplementary food, particularly for mothers and children. NGO-provision of complementary food such as vegetables and spices for IDP in camps faced funding shortfalls, particularly during the last quarter of 2009. CHAP 2010 proposals, therefore, include ongoing and extended NGO project proposals to address this need. The review also indicated the need for regular food coordination meetings at both the central and district levels to effectively address policy and operational issues, which in 2009 ranged from organization of food distributions to cooking arrangements to nutritional support, etc. The importance of the continued representation of UN, NGO partners and Government in coordination meetings was also highlighted.

Strong inter-sector cooperation has played an important role in wider food security issues. In agriculture, WFP participated with FAO in food security assessment, collaborated with seed paddy distribution and provided support for repairs to minor irrigation systems. In the area of nutrition, WFP works closely with the Mother and Child nutrition programme providing blanket supplementary food rations and supporting nutritional surveys. In education, WFP also provides inputs for school feeding programmes.

Agriculture including Food Security (UN Lead Agency: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations [FAO]) Common Humanitarian Action Plan (CHAP) 2009 funding for food security assistance provided inputs for 14,431 households in the North and East of the country. Joint food security assessments conducted in the East, released some improvements in the food security of households in this region. Improvements were linked to steps taken by the MoA and sector partners to cultivate abandoned land

SRI LANKA 2010 COMMON HUMANITARIAN ACTION PLAN and support local food production. With only 18% of the total CHAP 2009 requirement for the agriculture sector funded, outputs were limited and had an impact on progress in addressing the needs of IDPs, host families, returnees and conflict affected families in the North and East.

Between the end of the conflict in May and the end of December, approximately 160,000 people have returned to their former districts of origins in the North and the East of the country. In addition, approximately 29,000 vulnerable people have been released into family or community care. Although the main agriculture planting season which started in October, has been extended into January 2010 due to water availability in irrigation tanks. Many Northern farmers, however, remain in IDP camps and an estimated 50,000 hectares6 of paddy land will not be cultivated during the current planting season. The next main harvest for the North will be in January 2011 – over a year away. With the accelerated pace of return, new opportunities have opened to support additional cultivation if sufficient, appropriate and timely assistance is provided.

Shelter & Non-food Items (NFI) (UN Lead Agency: United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees [UNHCR]) An estimated 285,000 IDPs were displaced as a result of the conflict during the first months of 2009. Of these, some 270,000 were accommodated in welfare sites in Vavuniya, Mannar, Jaffna and Trincomalee. Support to assist in accommodating the rapid influx of IDPs in displacement sites was provided in close coordination with the GoSL and the Sri Lankan Army. Throughout 2009, the Vavuniya-based shelter coordination cell has supported the installation of emergency shelters, camp infrastructure and non-food item (NFI) assistance provided to these IDPs.

As of October 2009, nearly 85,000 emergency shelters have been provided to address needs of the 58,583 families (191,355 individuals). As tents and shelters have a limited lifespan, over 10,000 have been replaced or repaired. The breakdown of shelter provision by district is as follows:

Number of emergency shelters Number of repairs or Site erected replacements of shelters Emergency ESKs Type of Shelter Tents Tents shelter kits (ESKs) Menik Farm Zones 0 to 8 (Vavuniya) 16,632 20,676 2,642 4,433 Transit sites (Vavuniya) 651 1,214 790 734 Emergency sites (Vavuniya) 19,433 22,770 - 880 Emergency sites (Mannar) 581 00 - - Emergency sites (Trincomalee) 506 382 - 897 Emergency sites (Jaffna) 308 1,692 - - Total 38,111 46,734 3,432 6,944

In anticipation of the monsoon season, improvements to the storm water drainage system in the Menik Farm and the Pulmoddai IDP sites were undertaken. Strong liaison between the MoDMHR’s Disaster Management Centre (DMC), United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and UNHCR facilitated joint efforts aimed at addressing these time sensitive needs. Other agencies participating in the process included the Sri Lanka Land Reclamation and Drainage Corporation (SLLRDC), Road and Drainage Development Board, International Organization for Migration (IOM) and United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS). Improvements also included child safety measures such as installing fencing around ponds inside the sites. As a result of effective gap identification and joint action, drainage improvements have been successful in mitigating risks associated with the monsoon rains, which started in November. With the acceleration of returns and movements out of the camps, there is now a need for reorganizing and decommissioning of sites, in particular, certain zones in the Menik Farm site, and transitional school sites.

The distribution of non-food items (NFIs) has been carried out in close coordination with the respective government agent (GA) offices in the districts, with 91,799 families assisted with 105,076 NFI packages. Distributions are managed through family cards, which are issued by the GA’s office. Coordination of the Shelter Sector operates at the national and district levels with regular liaison between the GAs, Sri Lanka Army District Commanders, national and international non-governmental agencies, UN agencies and other stakeholders. In addition, the Shelter Sector feeds into an inter- sector coordination structure at both Colombo and Vavuniya levels. Through this coordination structure, partners exchange information, manage resource allocations and discuss key issues such as shelter designs, mechanisms and strategies for host family assistance, decommissioning of sites,

SRI LANKA 2010 COMMON HUMANITARIAN ACTION PLAN etc. Strong coordination has minimized duplication of activities and maximized limited resources. In addition, coordination has supported principles of equity, improving conditions in line with recognized standards and identifying and subsequently addressing gaps in service delivery.

Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) (UN Lead Agency: United Nations Children’s Fund [UNICEF]) Approximately 300,000 persons in Vavuniya, Mannar, Jaffna, Batticaloa, Trincomalee and Ampara have been provided access to safe water through bowsering, well construction or piped systems. Access to sanitation for this same population, has been provided through the construction of 10,925 emergency toilets and the provision of hygiene items. Humanitarian Charter and Minimum Standards in Disaster Response (SPHERE) in these areas have largely been met. After comprehensive discussions, latrine designs were agreed upon with the National Water Supply and Drainage Board (NWSDB) and selection of latrine placement was undertaken with the objective of minimizing ground water contamination. At the beginning of the year, the WASH response was hampered by restrictions on transportation of certain types of WASH-related materials/equipment across the Medawachchiya check point south of Vavuniya, as well as delays in deployment of much needed human resources.

In anticipation to the monsoon, a detailed contingency plan was developed and operationalized and a groundwater mapping and study that provided useful information the extent of groundwater levels at various locations of Menik farm was carried out. This study provided technical information for accelerating resettlement. Furthermore, to mitigate the effects of monsoon on the supply of safe water supply, improvised settling tanks were installed at two intake points to reduce the turbidity of the river water to acceptable levels, thus protecting the pumps, filters and the treatment plants. In addition, drainages around WASH-related services were reinforced.

The WASH sector coordination mechanism meets monthly at the national level to coordinate efforts with the NWSDB. Coordination meetings also take place regularly at district level (Vavuniya, Jaffna, Trincomalee and Batticaloa) with the involvement of the Government (Regional Director of Health Services [RDHS] and the Water Board), UN and NGO partners.

Health (UN Lead Agency: World Health Organization [WHO]) The rapid exodus of nearly 300,000 people from the Northern Vanni area during the end stages of the conflict significantly strained existing health capacities, particularly during the first half of 2009. After the major IDP influxes in April and May, several gaps in the provision of primary and secondary health care services for the displaced population, were evident. During the following months, camp organization improved, the population stabilized and better planning and coordination amongst health partners with the Ministry of Healthcare and Nutrition (MoHN), resulted in improved health service provision.

With the limited funding raised through the CHAP, health sector partners worked together to meet the following three objectives set out in the 2009 CHAP: (i) Provision of curative care to the wounded at secondary health facilities and the referral of emergency medical care including obstetric emergencies; (ii) Setting up of primary health care facilities in IDP camps and the provision of medicines, supplies and equipment to supplement stocks of the MoHN; and, (iii) Communicable disease surveillance and response systems. In support of these objectives, accommodation and transportation were provided to medical staff mobilized from other parts of the country to support medical services in Cheddikulum, near the main Vavuniya IDP receiving areas. Following the acute phase of the emergency, rehabilitative and preventive care became the priority including services for the elderly, conflict related wounds, people with disabilities and support and care for people with mental health and psycho-social needs. Medical doctors, nurses and laboratory technicians needed to provide health care services for the IDP population were mobilized from the MoHN and the RDHS.

During the acute phase of the emergency, the focus of the response was on urgent, curative health care services. Given limited available resources, gaps in specialized services for certain groups of vulnerable people including those with disabilities, the elderly and those suffering from mental health and psycho-social became evident. To address this shortcoming in future interventions, curative, preventive, and rehabilitative care needs to be initiated in tandem. The highly fluid situation in Vavuniya and the nearby Cheddikulum area during the first half of 2009 demonstrated the need for improved systematic information gathering and dissemination to maximize health care service delivery.

SRI LANKA 2010 COMMON HUMANITARIAN ACTION PLAN

The importance of appropriate coordination mechanisms, which serve to link MoHN to other health partners to effectively address needs, is a lesson drawn from the 2009 emergency health intervention for IDPs. In this regard, the appointment of an IDP healthcare director, who served as the Ministry’s focal person, was useful in coordinating partner inputs to address the needs of the displaced population. In addition, regular participation of the MoHN at the Colombo coordination meeting assisted in sharing on health data and also provided a platform to raise issues and identify solutions. This mechanism will continue in 2010.

Nutrition (UN Lead Agency: UNICEF) The primary focus of the nutrition sector response in 2009 was on the treatment of acute malnutrition for conflict affected population, primarily in the IDP camps in the North of the country. Since May 2009, active case identification has screened 25,000 children of which 3,500 were identified as severely malnourished and referred for treatment to the Nutrition Rehabilitation Programme (NRP), implemented in the IDP camps in Vavuniya (Menik Farm).

Twenty-one Nutrition Rehabilitation Centres were established in the camps, with each camp managed by a Public Health Midwife and volunteers, for community management of acute malnutrition including through the provision of ready-to-use therapeutic food. Over 600 children with severe malnutrition and medical complications were treated in feeding centres in the Vavuniya General Hospital and Cheddikulum Base Hospital.

Responding to the high levels of acute malnutrition identified in camps early in the year, a blanket supplementary feeding programme was established. Through the WFP-supported programme, a total of 40,000 beneficiaries (including children under-five, pregnant and lactating women) received a daily wet ration of corn soya blend (CSB). In addition, prevention and treatment of micronutrient deficiencies such as anemia using multiple micronutrients benefited 2,700 pregnant women and 21,000 children under-five. As part of a Child Health Campaign in Menik Farm in August, 23,000 children received a Vitamin A mega-dose and de-worming treatment. Commodity support for conflict affected districts included 157 MTs of ready-to-use therapeutic food, 3 MTs of therapeutic milk, 360 MTs of supplementary food, 600,000 multiple micronutrient tablets for pregnant women and four million multiple micronutrient sachets for children under-five.

Support was also provided for the implementation of the national guidelines for infant feeding in emergencies. This included establishing safe, low stress, breastfeeding spaces in IDP camps and training of over 150 health professionals on Infant and Young Child Feeding.

Although the nutritional response faced various implementation challenges such as insufficient human resources, activities contributed to a significant improvement in the target population’s nutritional status. Improvements between the May and September 2009 nutrition surveys in the Menik Farm site indicated a 33% reduction in acute under-nutrition (wasting) among IDP children under-five from 33% to 23.9% and severe acute under-nutrition from 8.8% to 4%. As of September, 93.5% of children between 6 and 59 months of age had received Vitamin A supplements, more than double the coverage recorded in May. In addition, coverage of de-worming of children between 1-5 years almost doubled to 89.5%.

UNICEF, in its role as sector lead, has supported the MoHN’s coordination efforts, through joint planning of activities and regular coordination meetings in the field and at the district level.

Education (UN Lead Agency: UNICEF) During 2009 the education sector, under the co-leadership of UNICEF and Save the Children in Sri Lanka (SCiSL) worked closely with the Ministry of Education (MoE) and its recently-formed Emergency Education Unit to address education needs of children in the conflict-affected areas of the Northern and Eastern provinces. Other sector members also constructively engaged in developing and implementing education interventions. According to monitoring reports, combined sector members’ efforts have resulted in: • 92,000 registered displaced and resettled children attending school and 1,766 children rejoining education in “catch up” classes; • 1,298 temporary learning spaces (TLS) constructed to provide safe learning environments for more than 72,300 children and 850 tarpaulins erected benefiting children in transit camps and children from displaced host communities; • 91,000 learner kits, 1,015 blackboards, 90,000 water-resistant school bags, 42 school in a box, 300 recreation kits and 8,883 material and uniforms distributed;

SRI LANKA 2010 COMMON HUMANITARIAN ACTION PLAN

• 24 early childhood care and development (ECCD) packs for 1,262 children and 84 ECCD packs for teachers distributed; six ECCD centres established benefiting 300 children and ten ECCD renovated benefiting 500 children. 1,950 pre-schoolers benefited from the distribution of 1,000 sets of guidance material on psycho-social activities developed by the MoE; • Education Sector coordination supporting technical and programmatic issues to facilitate emergency education activities at national, provincial, and zonal levels; • Community mobilization within IDP and transit sites to support teachers and communities to sustain education activities and maintain facilities.

Although the level of educational access achieved for displaced children in camps was impressive, maintaining quality was challenging as many teachers and education administrators were confined to IDP camps for extended periods. This reinforced the need to provide teachers and administrators with professional development and psycho-social support both in the short and longer-term. Also, rapid and sudden movements of IDPs have required the strengthening and streamlining of coordination mechanisms and monitoring and evaluation systems to respond in an efficient and timely manner to educational needs.

Economic Recovery & Infrastructure (UN Lead Agency: United Nations Development Programme [UNDP]) ERI sector partners have been active in 2009, although only the International Organization for Migration (IOM), received funding under the CHAP. Several agencies were however, able to mobilize donor funding outside of the CHAP or utilized their own funds to undertake critical ERI activities. Partner agencies have primarily been implementing livelihood recovery activities in the three Eastern districts and select Northern districts, focusing on traditional productive sectors such as agriculture, livestock and fisheries, in addition to micro-enterprise development and vocational training. ERI agencies have also undertaken rehabilitation of livelihood and community infrastructure, focusing on access roads, irrigation, markets and community centres.

The intensive humanitarian operations, particularly during the first half of the year, posed several challenges which affected the implementation of ERI activities in the Northern districts. After the end of the conflict in May, several partner agencies initiated or scaled-up ERI activities in these districts to support sustainability of IDP returns and to reinforce the absorptive capacities of host-communities. IOM received funding under the CHAP for its Rapid Livelihood Recovery Project targeting the districts of Mannar, Vavuniya and Jaffna, in the fourth quarter of 2009. Activities started in late 2009, include: conducting baseline assessments in resettlement areas; community mobilization and awareness- raising; and income-generating activities.

Building on the results of the Recovery Coordination Initiative (RCI-1) undertaken in Batticaloa in 2008, a second phase of the project was launched in 2009, with the involvement of UNDP, FAO and the International Labour Organization (ILO). This initiative aims to provide an integrated package of early recovery support to resettled communities in six Grama Niladhari Divisions (village officer division – which is an administrative division) in Batticaloa.

ERI sector partners work closely with the MoNB&EID. The Early Recovery Group (ERG) shares information, identifies priorities and plans programme and implementation. At the district level, early recovery coordination meetings take place in Ampara, Batticaloa, Trincomalee, Jaffna, Vavuniya and Mannar with participation of local government authorities, UN agencies, and NGOs. Where necessary, district level meetings are complemented by divisional level meetings.

Protection/Human Right/Rule of Law (UN Lead Agency: UNHCR) As the conflict entered its final phase at the beginning of 2009, large numbers of IDPs fled from the Northern Vanni region to Vavuniya, Jaffna and Trincomalee districts. The majority of IDPs were accommodated in closed IDP camps in Vavuniya. Key protection concerns were associated with the security of civilians and freedom of movement, family separation, conflict injuries and food insecurity. As the year progressed, improvements in all areas were noted, although concerns remained with respect to the risk of abduction, disappearances and targeted killing in the East and elsewhere. Protection and child protection networks composed of UN agencies, NGOs and relevant government bodies, notably the Ministry of Disaster Management and Human Rights (MoDMHR), worked together to promote IDP and civilian rights in accordance with international norms and standards. Linkages between district and Colombo protection networks worked to identify protection risks, devise protection strategies and interventions, and undertake advocacy.

SRI LANKA 2010 COMMON HUMANITARIAN ACTION PLAN

Provision of emergency assistance, protection monitoring and documentation, legal advice and assistance in obtaining civil documentation were key protection activities. Partners undertook 1,563 protection monitoring visits covering 94,510 IDPs and returnees. The number of court cases filed was 157, of which 111 cases were finalized. Legal counselling was provided to 628 individuals and 2,841 individuals were assisted in applying for personal documentation. Initiatives on SGBV included strengthening and supporting referral networks and data collection, with 1,020 cases reported of which 143 cases were filed in court. A total of 456 training activities on human rights, IDP and child rights and SGBV were held. Training participants included government authorities, armed forces personnel and the police, responsible for covering over 5,000 people.

The MoDMHR, in collaboration with UNHCR and other protection organizations, supported the implementation of the action plan for Confidence-Building and Stabilization Measures (CBSM), which had been developed in 2007. The plan, implemented with oversight from a national steering committee, includes civil-military liaison and support for district CBSM activities in places of displacement and return. In 2009 district steering committees were set up in Jaffna, Mannar, Vavuniya, Trincomalee, Batticaloa and Ampara, joint CBSM district action plans developed and a common understanding reached on strengthening civil-military liaison.

In close collaboration with government line ministries, provincial and district authorities and NGOs, the results of child protection activities included: 141 children friendly spaces established, 408 trained volunteers mobilized, and 55,675 children provided with access to recreational activities, which aimed at restoring a sense of normalcy to their lives. Since April 2009, 542 separated or unaccompanied children living in IDP camps have been released and reunified with their parents or relatives. However, 667 children placed in orphanages and an undetermined number of pending cases need intensive follow-up, including psycho-social support in order to ensure family care and community- based reintegration. Releases of children from armed groups included 538 children who were documented and produced before the relevant magistrates and social inquiry reports completed. Care and psycho-social support is being provided for these children in close collaboration with the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) Commissioner General of Rehabilitation.

Key challenges faced by protection actors included restrictive humanitarian access, particularly for NGOs and difficulties in obtaining visas and security clearance for international staff which hindered implementation of activities. This was aggravated by the lack of freedom of movement of IDPs for most of the period which severely constrained their access to existing services/facilities outside the camps. Lessons learned included the importance of ensuring coordination with community-based interventions in order to identify vulnerable groups and prevent harm and abuse and the need to ensure coordination between various government administrative levels (central, provincial, district).

Mine Action (UN Lead Agency: UNDP Mine Action) Clearance and survey tasks started increasing early in 2009, beginning with the Mannar District. Adjoining districts were then added to the prioritization list of resettlement in the North, leading to a rapid increase of tasks in Vavuniya, Jaffna, and then Mullaitivu and Killinochchi. In support of the return process, it has been vital that mine clearance take place rapidly, efficiently and in conformity with Sri Lanka’s National Mine Action Standards.

Mine survey and clearance tasks are currently carried out by the Sri Lankan Army-Humanitarian Demining Unit, six international and one demining operators. All partner agencies in the mine action sector have been active in 2009, although additional funding over and beyond requirements identified under the Common Humanitarian Action Plan (CHAP) framework were required due to the significant scaling up of activities.

The MoNB&EID, in consultation with the Ministry of Defense (MoD), identified and assigned an increasing number of new mine/UXO survey and clearance tasks during 2009. For example, in January there were only nine ongoing tasks in the North compared to 76 tasks at the end of the year, with another 125 survey and clearance tasks planned. By December, with access opening to new areas formerly under LTTE control, the number of reported mines and UXOs uncovered reached 48,354 along with 94,124 small arms and ammunition. Between January and end of December 2009, a total of 879,176,665 m2 (879 km2) of contaminated land had been surveyed and cleared and 248 General Mine Action Assessments (GMAA) and Technical Surveys were undertaken.

In addition, all high priority areas in the East have been cleared and at the request of the Government, outstanding lower priority clearance activities were suspended at the end of September, at which time,

SRI LANKA 2010 COMMON HUMANITARIAN ACTION PLAN demining operators and the UNDP District Mine Action Office in Batticaloa moved their assets to the North. The need for survey, clearance as well as MRE activities in the East continues, albeit as a lower priority for 2010.

Over 100,000 people were reached by Mine Risk Education (MRE), including through safety briefings and community liaison activities during 2009. In addition, 239 mine/explosive remnants of war (ERW) victims/survivors and people with disabilities were assisted and/or referred to appropriate services.

Between January and December 2009, twenty eight mine and ERW casualties were recorded, compared to six in 2008. Despite the higher number of casualties in 2009, the total remains relatively low, particularly given the greatly increased threat exposure. A strong indicator of progress is the 376 community reports from the affected communities on mines/ERW found and on suspected dangerous areas.

There is not yet a clear indication of the extent of contamination and also of when and where new tasks for the North will be assigned which has made work planning and predicting funding needs difficult. However, the mid-year CHAP 2009 review clarified that funding needs in the mine action sector had increased significantly compared to 2008. This, combined with the great importance of mine clearance as a precondition for the return of IDPs, has led to the decision to make Mine Action a separate sector for the CHAP 2010.

Logistics (UN Lead Agency: [WFP]) The Inter Agency Logistics group aims to provide timely, efficient and cost-effective delivery of relief cargo. During 2009, WFP and IOM provided humanitarian agencies with transport and storage arrangements, which included WFP Special Operation hubs in Colombo, Vavuniya, Jaffna, Trincomalee and, since May 2009, a storage site at Menik Farm. A UN flagged fleet of 30 vehicles supports UN agencies, the GoSL, NGOs with their transport needs augmented by commercial vehicles as required. In addition, as of June 2009 dedicated staff have provided capacity to improve inter agency logistics coordination and information sharing.

Since the start of the return programme, IOM has been providing transportation for IDPs and their possessions. In collaboration with district secretariats, IOM arranged transport for voluntary movements of IDPs from the conflict to safer locations and back to their areas of origin. A variety of vehicles from tractors to water bowsers to trucks have been used to transport humanitarian relief and development commodities, which has included such diverse items as livestock, boats, plants and fire extinguishers. During 2009, the IOM transport service was utilized by various groups including the UN and NGOs, as well as Government Departments at the local and central levels. The GoSL provides clearance and accommodation for relief supplies at the entry ports, land for the set up of logistics structures and is responsible for secondary transport and distribution of food items to IDPs, except for the IDP sites in the Vavuniya area.

Several lessons can be drawn from the 2009 logistic operations including: logistic plans need to be coordinated with other sector plans in order to ensure adequate capacity and support for the specific sector response; potential transport or storage needs of sectors should be shared with the Inter- Agency Logistics group so that assistance can be provided as needed and finally, distributions should be coordinated to avoid overlap and / or delays.

Coordination & Support Services (UN Lead Agency: Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs [OCHA]) Under the leadership of the Resident Coordinator/Humanitarian Coordinator (RC/HC), OCHA supported inter-agency coordination at district and country levels. While supporting the Government Agent (GA) coordination mechanisms, OCHA four district offices (Vavuniya, Jaffna, Batticaloa and Trincomalee) continued to support inter agency and sector meetings, through the UN Focal Points/Area Security Coordinators. OCHA Batticaloa office was phased out in June 2009, with staff and assets transitioning to support the UNDP Early Recovery Coordinator office in the East. The Trincomalee office closed at the end of 2009, with staffing capacity reassigned to support intensified operations in the Northern districts.

OCHA supported contingency planning exercises and facilitated a number of missions and inter agency assessments. Contingency planning during the second half of 2009 focussed on preparations for the monsoon season in the North, while an increased number of assessments were undertaken to

SRI LANKA 2010 COMMON HUMANITARIAN ACTION PLAN support the return process which accelerated in September. OCHA continued to promote the Guiding Principles for humanitarian and development assistance in Sri Lanka, Inter-Agency Guidelines on Gender in Emergencies and the Inter-Agency Guidelines for Gender-Based Violence Interventions in Humanitarian Settings at Colombo and district levels. The Gender Standby Capacity Project (GenCap) deployed an Inter-Agency Gender Advisor with a mandate to mainstream gender in humanitarian and early recovery programming in Sri Lanka. The GenCap Adviser was hosted by OCHA from September 2008 to October 2009.

OCHA continued to coordinate and strengthen linkages between the Government and the humanitarian community. An OCHA-seconded Liaison Assistant supported the Minster of Disaster Management and Human Rights in his role as Chair of the Consultative Committee for Humanitarian Assistance (CCHA). Staffing and support on information management to the Ministry’s Disaster Management Centre (DMC) was also provided, including mapping and information services undertaken to build the Centre’s capacity through seconded staff and training initiatives.

OCHA Information Management Unit (IMU) provided standard products and services including briefing packs, fact sheets, district profiles and mapping services. Work also continued on core OCHA tools including the “Who does What Where” (3W), assessment database, weekly meeting schedules, contacts directories and the humanitarian website (www.hpsl.lk). In support of the DMC, the IMU assisted in 3W data collection, development of hazard / risk profiles, emergency reporting and satellite data. As the focus on return and resettlement increased, the IMU together with UNDP Mine Action also supported mapping of planned resettlement and mine clearance progress. Collaboration with the Government’s Survey Department and the Urban Development Authority was also reinforced, and joint work was undertaken to review district- and division-level data.

Security (UN Lead Agency: United Nations Department of Safety and Security [UNDSS]) Additional capacity provided through the CHAP Security Project benefited the humanitarian community in various ways. The establishment of a security operation centre at Menik Farm and the recruitment of an I/NGO Security Officer facilitated liaison and access, while activities such as stress counselling, and police awareness on access constraints resulted in proactive mitigation of potential problems. The I/NGO Security officer deployed to cover the Northern affected area played a valuable role and needs to be incorporated in future security priority activities. With a continued improvement in the security situation expected, adjustments to the security structure are anticipated including through additional national staff extended to Trincomalee and to Jaffna. Pro-active analysis and advice, together with capacity development has resulted in safer implementation of programmes and better access to IDPs.

3. NEEDS ANALYSIS

Since the end of Sri Lanka’s long running conflict in May 2009, the humanitarian landscape has changed dramatically. The high levels of direct conflict-related insecurity and displacement witnessed in the first months of 2009 were replaced with challenges of caring for a large and extremely vulnerable displaced population accommodated in difficult conditions of closed displacement sites. As return movement accelerated in mid-October, the focus moved to balancing the continued needs of IDP in camps, with support to facilitate return of families to their former homes. Beginning the difficult process of restarting livelihoods has also become an increasingly important factor in supporting a return to self-sufficiency and normalcy.

The population remaining in IDP camps during 2010 will continue to need assistance to cover basic food, shelter, water and sanitation needs as well as for health and educational services. With the freedom of movement restrictions previously imposed on the camp population reduced as of 1 December 2009, better access to markets and community services is expected to improve the overall situation for those who have no immediate option other than to remain in the camps. Although the overcrowding in IDP camps has been largely addressed through releases back to districts of origins, continued monitoring and support will be required to ensure that standards for those remaining are met as sites are consolidated and decommissioned. Replacement and possible upgrading of current shelters will be required as the lifespan of the majority of the temporary shelters has reached their natural end. Similarly, continued monitoring of camp infrastructure including maintenance of water points, latrines, common cooking areas, etc., will be required.

To facilitate safe, dignified and sustainable return of the remaining displaced population, continued progress on removing the main obstacles of return is required. Demining, adequate provision of a range of services, and support to improve food security are priorities. The GoSL, currently supported by UN agencies and a few national NGO, is undertaking to meet the large-scale needs of resettling families and providing for their basic needs. The nature and magnitude of the response means that needs are significantly outpacing existing capacities. As such, there is an urgent need to overcome the current restrictions faced by NGOs and to clarify the wider NGO role in return areas in order to utilize the substantial capacity they can provide in supporting families and communities to rebuild homes, restart livelihoods and re-establish basic infrastructure and services.

While much was accomplished during the second half of 2009 on demining of resettlement areas, continued capacity and high levels of engagement on mine action is required, both to bring people safely back to their homes but also to ensure their access to livelihood activities. Progress on demining is also crucial to facilitate entry of humanitarian workers into return areas in order to ensure sufficient capacity to support the immediate needs of returnees. With the current accelerated pace of returns, demand for survey, clearance and MRE in Jaffna, Mannar and Vavuniya and subsequently in Killinochchi and Mullaitivu has increased. To effectively handle the surge of tasks in the North, demining operators will require increased human resources, technical, and mechanical capacities. Similarly, scaling up of management and coordination for mine action is a priority.

The numerous challenges and hardships that the affected population has faced over the past year is evident in nutritional vulnerabilities that have been identified. Poor nutritional status can be linked to disruptions in food supplies as people fled numerous times from the encroaching fighting as well as access restrictions limiting supply of basic goods during the end stages of the conflict. The nutritional impact on vulnerable groups including women, young children and the elderly has been particularly dramatic, as confirmed by the June 2009 MRI assessment which indicated that over 35% of children under-five in the Menik Farm camp were severely malnourished and nearly 47% were underweight. Although proactive screening, feeding and health interventions were successful in significantly improving nutritional status, as indicated by a September follow up survey7, these still vulnerable groups require ongoing monitoring both in the camps and as they begin to move back to their homes. This will require sufficient capacity to offer nutritional and health services, coupled with adequate food provision.

7 Improvements in the May to September 2009 nutrition survey indicated a 33% reduction in acute under nutrition (wasting) among IDP children under-five.

SRI LANKA 2010 COMMON HUMANITARIAN ACTION PLAN

With an estimated 80% of the population in the Northern Province reliant on crops cultivation, livestock and fisheries as their primary source of livelihoods, both before and during the conflict, resumption of agricultural production and related income generating opportunities to improve the immediate sustainability of returns and hasten economic recovery are also priorities. To maximize outputs and increase resilience to food insecurity, support is required prior to the next agriculture and fishing season in the first two months of 2010.

The challenges in improving food security are significant. Approximately 50,000 hectares of paddy land was lost in Mullaitivu, Mannar and Kilinochchi districts during the 2008/2009 Maha season. In addition, drought and post-conflict challenges significantly impacted the Yala season paddy cultivation in Jaffna, Kilinochchi, Mullatitivu districts. Also affecting levels of production is the limited amounts of land held by most farmers. For example, the 2002 Agricultural Census revealed that 58% of the 164,000 agricultural households in the Northern Province were homesteaders with less than 0.1 hectares of back garden areas and that 86% of all farms larger than 0.1 hectares are less than two hectares in size. The most severely affected farm communities are those which were not able to harvest crops in 2008 and 2009. Many of these farmers have lost productive assets and are in debt to farmers’ banks and co-operative societies. As a result, their coping mechanisms have largely been exhausted, which has exposed them to high levels of vulnerabilities including potential for exploitation.

In contrast to the challenging environment in the former Vanni conflict areas, the food security situation in Jaffna and in the East has improved notably. The recent opening of the main North-South A9 highway has resulted in increased food supply and reduced costs of most food and NFIs. The progressive lifting of fishing bans has also contributed to improved food availability and lower costs across the formerly isolated Peninsula. Recent assessments have also confirmed improvements in the food security situation in the Eastern districts where relaxation of security controls and opening of access to farmlands and fishing areas is assisting people in the progressive recovery of livelihoods. Nonetheless, security restrictions still limit access to an estimated 23% of lands in Jaffna, 30% in Trincomalee, 12% in Batticaloa and 10% in Ampara.

The level of destruction within the former conflict areas varies considerably but in many of the districts, homes, public buildings and basic infrastructure has been significantly damaged and in some areas completely destroyed. According to preliminary Government estimates, over 130,000 houses have been destroyed and another 100,000 are in need of repair in the five districts of the North. As returns have got underway, immediate assistance with temporary shelter and household items have been provided as families reach their districts of origin. Associated support to ensure adequate water and sanitation provision through well cleaning, water trucking and latrines is also being provided.

Supporting government to get health, education and other basic services functioning, until longer-term infrastructure can be developed is also of immediate importance. Community level needs assessments to supplement those carry out by Government authorities is required to better quantify and qualify the support needed. Coordination of inputs between Government and the humanitarian community and the increasing involvement of development actors as well as private investment will require coordination and sharing of information to ensure effective inputs.

Ensuring adequate health care provision in return areas as well as the host population in these areas will require timely material and human resource inputs. To ensure availability of primary and secondary health services including preventive, curative and rehabilitation as well as referral services to returning communities, sufficient availability of appropriate medical personnel is required to effectively cope with the increased health care demand in the resettlement areas. Strong coordination between national, provincial and district levels is therefore, essential to ensure that the needed human resources are in place. Building on the immediate curative care provided during displacement, specialized care including provision of prosthetics and other support devices for people with disabilities will become increasingly important. In addition, only limited assessments have been carried out on the extent of mine / ERW disabilities and the associated need requirements. Given high risk levels, service providers are anticipating that the numbers in need of assistance is likely to rise. Treatment of and counselling for individuals suffering from mental health and psycho-social problems will also be critical as post-conflict stress and psychological problems generally manifest some six months after traumatic events have taken place.

While the immediate security risks associated with conflict have ended, communities remain vulnerable to both the physical and psychological remnants of war. Exposure to conflict, serial

SRI LANKA 2010 COMMON HUMANITARIAN ACTION PLAN displacement and inadequate learning environments have significantly impacted learning opportunities for tens of thousands of conflict-affected children. The sudden movement of large numbers of IDPs from camps to host communities and resettlement areas has added to the multifaceted needs and highlights the importance of quickly establishing as much normalcy as possible, including through access to safe learning environments. Ensuring that schools are adequately staffed with qualified personnel, as well as equipped with appropriate teaching materials, basic furniture and learning equipment and education materials is essential. Given the significant disruption to schooling over the final phases of the conflict, offering alternative learning opportunities for youth is also important in supporting their reintegration into formal schooling or employment. Broad participation of education actors as well as effective coordination is essential if the critical needs of children are to be effectively addressed.

Although the Government has begun the long and difficult process of re-establishing local Government and community structures, overall needs remain high. Priority has focused on re-establishing local government offices, while progressively building up human resources capacities in the various areas of responsibilities. Capacity to support social services, the judicial system, child protection as well as to establish safety nets for vulnerable families will be urgently required. In addition, IDPs and returnees alike will require assistance in accessing legal aid and civil documentation and for a range of issues such as housing, land and property issues. Communities will also need to be strengthened through community mobilization and support to community-based organizations (CBOs).

Throughout most of 2009, social and economic activities were disrupted in most areas of the Vanni, with little or no employment opportunities or productivity in nearly all sectors. Providing returnee communities with livelihood opportunities will be an important factor to reduce levels of hardship and dependency as well as to increase the sustainability of the returns. To regenerate employment possibilities, construction and/or rehabilitation of damaged or destroyed community infrastructure offers opportunities for constructive engagement.

While food production and agriculture based work is critical to the economy, a recent GoSL labour and social trend report8 indicates that a quarter of gross domestic product (GDP) is derived from the trade and hotels industry and that in 2008 the services sector contributed 58% to GDP. This is important with regard to planning for the expansion of productive employment opportunities and Sri Lanka’s longer-term competitive prospects in the global marketplace. Currently Sri Lanka places 79th out of 133 countries, behind India but ahead of Pakistan and Bangladesh but has the 20th largest gap in the world for labour force participation between the sexes.9 Recommendations made in the government report include the need to promote marketable skills development in education and foster social dialogue for national development.

Initial surveys of returning households, together with information gathered while families were in displacement, indicate a significant number of single headed households and individuals with conflict- related or pre-existing disabilities. Different categories of vulnerable children have also been identified, including those released from armed groups, separated from their parents, orphaned, suffering from trauma or psychological difficulties. These particularly vulnerable groups have specific protection, psycho-social and reintegration needs that require specific attention and dedicated resources. Response needs range from service provision to direct material support to appropriate referral networks.

With the acceleration of the Government’s resettlement programme for IDPs in the North, additional support in planning and coordination is needed to effectively support the scale and the diversity of the response demands. Timely information will be important to track and adjust programming as required. Significant logistics demands are also anticipated in 2010 to both support ongoing relief operations for IDPs remaining in displacement sites as well as movements and humanitarian assistance programmes in resettlement areas. This will require storage and transportation capacity which currently cannot be provided through commercial sources due to capacity as well as safety and security considerations. Adequate security capacity is also important to effectively support safe implementation of activities in former conflict areas, where risks and threats remain high, particularly with regard to mines / UXO. Ongoing security capacity is required in Vavuniya also where tens of

SRI LANKA 2010 COMMON HUMANITARIAN ACTION PLAN thousands of IDPs are likely to remain during the first months of 2010, a significant, continued presence of military and police is expected and the movement, training and other security needs of some 120 expatriate staff will place high level demands on existing UN and NGO capacity. Past experiences both in Sri Lanka and globally reinforces the strategic value of gender analysis in defining priorities and programming needs. Regular gender reviews amongst the displaced population have identified family separation, freedom of movement and access to information as particular gender concerns. Registration and screening, together with the absence of an independent GBV reporting mechanism in environments where abuse can occur have also been identified as area of particular gender concern. Other sector based assessments and monitoring visits, such as a recent assessment conducted in Jaffna, have also identified specific gender concerns, for example, higher levels of food insecurity among newly resettled female and child-headed households.

The regular collection and analysis of age and sex-disaggregated data will continue to be promoted to better understand the vulnerabilities and needs of different groups. The importance of equality of assistance as well as equal access to skills and capacity development will promote through joint ownership of assets, equal wages for men and women and equal opportunity afforded to men and women. A key shortfall in providing for a better understanding of the particular needs of different beneficiary groups is the limited level of participation they currently have in decisions related to their immediate and future needs.

The importance of local level conflict sensitivity in order to avoid “unintentional complicity in harming civilians” in the delivery of emergency relief is well documented. As such, projects should include consideration of ways and means to ensure sensitivity to local dynamics as well as to seek opportunities to leverage assistance to support reconciliation. Liaison with International Financing Institutions, specifically the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank is a key element to effectively planning mutually supportive, conflict-sensitive inputs. Ensuring full participation of beneficiaries and relevant stakeholders, combined with strong communications are prerequisites to successful outcomes.

A February 2008 HIV assessment mission led by Joint United Nations Programme for HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) and UNHCR in the East (the North was not accessible at the time) with broad participation of experts from various disciplines indicated an increased vulnerability to HIV amongst conflict- affected populations. The survey noted that “once Sri Lanka enters the post conflict phase...mobility increases...transport networks open up...and this will add other dimensions to HIV vulnerability.” Further the assessment noted that although Sri Lanka has low HIV prevalence rates, even in the most at risk populations, risks associated with the conflict and displacement increase the possibility for infection. The assessment therefore, recommended that HIV considerations are incorporated into sector responses, in particular for health, education, security, and protection. Other recommendations include improved data collection and assessment, training and awareness building including through the Inter-agency Standing Committee Guidelines on Human Immuno-deficiency Virus/Acquired Immuno-deficiency Syndrome (HIV/AIDS) interventions in Emergency Settings, which provides guidance on minimum interventions.

SRI LANKA 2010 COMMON HUMANITARIAN ACTION PLAN

4. THE 2010 COMMON HUMANITARIAN ACTION PLAN

4.1 Scenarios The CHAP 2010 presents the current, most likely scenario, with core assumptions and humanitarian implications, and reflects the main observations and priorities agreed in discussions with stakeholders, most importantly the GoSL. It is based on the assumption that resettlement of the majority of displaced people in the North will progress as indicated by the GoSL. Provisions for demining and return shelter assistance as well as for basic infrastructure and services have therefore, been prioritized to support safe and sustainable returns. The scenario also takes into consideration the need to provide continued humanitarian assistance to those IDPs who will remain in camps for some part of 2010.

Current / Most-Likely Scenario Core assumptions • With the end of the military conflict in the Vanni and stabilization in the North, the risk of security incidents and sporadic terrorist attacks will reduce. • The increased pace of returns and ‘releases’ seen at the end of 2009 will continue. • Approximately 30,000 of the old caseload of IDPs will also be returned to their places of origin in 2010. • Up to 75,000 Vanni IDPs will remain in emergency camps at the start of 2010. • Access to return areas including parts of the Vanni increasingly improves. • In return areas, land will be cleared/ released as much as possible simultaneously for livelihood activities as well as population resettlement in 2010. • The A9 is open for essential humanitarian, resettlement and return activities. • Some high security zones will open in Jaffna and Trincomalee. • Increasing recovery and development activities in the North while current development activities continue in the East. (Outside the scope of this CHAP 2010 appeal). • One thousand refugees in India will be repatriated and reintegrated in Sri Lanka. In addition some thousand will return spontaneously. • IDPs will be able to participate in and be informed about decisions that affect their well-being and future. • NGO partners included with an emphasis on local organizations. Humanitarian implications • As mobility and returns increase, segments of the IDP population will be less dependent on humanitarian assistance. • Livelihoods opportunities improve in the North. • Increased mine action capacity required to enable smooth resettlement and recovery operations in Vavuniya, Mannar, Kilinochchi, Mullaitivu and high security zones in Jaffna. • Humanitarian assistance needs continue with support required for open camps in Vavuniya, Mannar, Jaffna and Trincomalee Districts throughout the year, although for reduced caseloads as the year progresses. • Continuing protection concerns including high vulnerability of persons with specific needs especially the elderly, women and children, separated and unaccompanied children, and children formerly associated with armed groups. • A portion of the old caseload of IDPs (pre-2006) will also be supported to return to their places of origin • Refugees in India will be supported to repatriate and reintegrate in Sri Lanka

Based on the most likely scenario, planning for 2010 envisages the following maximum caseload for the first six months as follows:10

Sri Lanka CHAP 2010 prioritized caseload – figures change throughout the first quarter CHAP 2010 Prioritized Caseload IDPs Returnees IDPs in Emergency sites (January 2010) 75,000 - IDPs with host families 60,000 - IDP returnees (Returns in 2009) - 140,000 Subtotal: Caseload displaced after April 2008 275,000 IDPs displaced before April 2008 (Old caseload) 104,600 * Refugee returnees (from India) - 7,000** Subtotal: Caseload displaced before April 2008 111,600 Total 386,600 * 104,600 out of a total of 242,000 (2006-2008: 44,000 + Pre-2006 displacement of 198,000) ** Includes facilitated and spontaneous returnees.

10 Out of the total caseload of concern (524,790), a total of 386,600 will be prioritized for assistance under the CHAP 2010. While all IDPs/ returnees displaced after April 2008 will be included in the CHAP 2010, only a limited number out of the old IDP caseload of 242,000 are prioritized in the CHAP. This will include those IDPs from the old caseload that are likely to return in the first six months of 2010.

Disaggregated data Women vs men: 51% to 49%. Children vs adults: 15% children under-five; 40% children under-18 (the 40% includes the 15%).

4.2 Strategic objectives for humanitarian action in 2010 The priorities for Sri Lanka have been agreed in consultation with the GoSL, donors and agencies involved in humanitarian and return activities. They take into account current needs as well as potential developments during 2010 as outlined in the most likely scenario. The strategy and key indicators determined by these priorities are further detailed in the sector response plans that follow in section 4.5.

I. RETURN AND RESETTLEMENT OF IDPS TO THEIR PLACES OF ORIGIN

Strategy Programmes will support voluntary, safe and dignified IDP Returns. Activities will take into account the specific needs of vulnerable groups, including the elderly, separated/unaccompanied children, persons with disabilities, pregnant women, nursing mothers and others, during the resettlement process. Basic services in shelter/NFI, WASH, food and health in the areas of return will be supported during the transition period, until infrastructure facilities, community services and livelihood/income generation activities can be fully re-established by the GoSL. Support for host families will also be included in programme plans. Minimum standards of protection will be integrated into programming in support of return/resettlement to address safety and security needs, physical protection measures and safeguards against GBV. Activities will also promote adherence to principles of international humanitarian law and human rights law including the rights of IDPs and conflict-affected populations to free movement to areas where they feel most secure. Protection and assistance programmes will apply a community-based approach, which respects diversity and is age - and gender-sensitive. Projects funded under the 2010 CHAP will be agreed with the Presidential Taskforce and implemented in consultation with the respective Line Ministry/GoSL department to ensure cost effectiveness and consistency with the activities of the Government.

Key Indicator • Number of IDPs (sex and age disaggregated data) transported to their districts of origin. • Number of IDPs (sex and age disaggregated data) who either return to their homes or voluntarily resettle and reintegrate into other communities. • Age and sex disaggregated percentage of returnees having access to primary and emergency health services, adequate shelter and basic NFRI, sufficient food and other essential services (safe drinking water, sanitation and education).

II. RELIEF OPERATIONS FOR IDPs

Strategy Relief programmes will aim to minimize hardship and suffering for IDPs in displacement sites through the provision of timely, coordinated and adequate inputs for shelter, food aid, agriculture, NFRI, protection and essential services such as health, safe drinking water, sanitation, nutrition and education. Programmes will employ rights- and community-based approaches, with priority targeting of particularly vulnerable groups such as children under-five, pregnant and lactating women, the elderly and disabled persons. Coordination principles of partnership, accountability and transparency will be applied. Projects funded under the 2010 CHAP will be approved by the Presidential Task Force and implemented in consultation with the respective Line Ministry/GoSL department to ensure cost-effectiveness and consistency with the activities of the Government.

Key Indicators • Age and sex-disaggregated percentage of IDP having access to primary and emergency health services, adequate shelter and basic NFRI, sufficient food and other essential services (safe drinking water, sanitation and education). • Age and sex-disaggregated number of conflict-affected persons (including host communities and those affected economically by lack of access) receiving assistance. • Severe acute malnutrition (SAM) rates, morbidity rates, mortality rates and disease outbreak records for the conflict-affected population.

SRI LANKA 2010 COMMON HUMANITARIAN ACTION PLAN

4.3 Strategic monitoring plan Efforts will be made to strengthen monitoring of projects, sectors and CHAP objectives. Sector Leads will conduct quarterly reviews to provide inputs on sector progress and challenges as well as potential gaps and overlaps. This information will be fed through both the humanitarian inter-agency coordination structure and through the Line Ministries to ensure the most effective contribution to the Government's assistance efforts. Project, sector and overall CHAP review will be consolidated during the Mid-Year Review and shifts in the humanitarian context will be considered to make necessary adjustments to strategic and programming priorities. Monitoring and review will draw information from field level review, which feed into Colombo-level structures.

4.4 Criteria for selection and prioritization of projects The two strategic pillars for the CHAP 2010 are return and resettlement of IDPs to their places of origin and relief assistance to IDPs in camps. These priorities were agreed upon after consultation with donors, the GoSL, under the guidance of the RC/HC. After priorities were agreed, focal agencies for 11 sectors (see table below) drew up objectives to streamline the interventions, by way of suitable projects prepared by the UN and I/NGOs. The early recovery priority will be handled by the GoSL outside of the CHAP 2010 framework. The vetting of the submissions was done based on the following criteria:

1. Does the project target the priority beneficiary groups (IDPs, returnees, host communities) in the priority geographic areas (Killinochchi, Mullaitivu, Vavuniya, Mannar, Jaffna and Trincomalee, Batticaloa and Ampara)? 2. Does the project build vulnerable people's resilience to averting or mitigating harm? 3. Is the project essential to enabling other projects to remedy, mitigate or avert direct and imminent physical harm or threats? 4. Is the project feasible (assuming funding) by the proposing organization and planned partners, currently and in line with the most likely scenario? 5. Can the project deliver successful outcomes within a six-month period? 6. Are the needs that the project plans to address confirmed by evidence that is solid by reason of first-hand assessment on the ground (wherever possible), or triangulation from multiple independent sources?

Two points for each question if it meets the criteria fully. One point if it partly meets the criteria.

SRI LANKA 2010 COMMON HUMANITARIAN ACTION PLAN

Needs Analysis Mine Action is a priority for the safe return of displaced populations. A key obstacle to rapid resettlement in Sri Lanka has been the considerable degree of UXOs and anti-personnel mines contamination and the consequent need for sizable clearance operations. In addition, to minimize the risk of civilian casualties, mine clearance, MRE and victim assistance - covered primarily under the Education and Health Sectors, respectively - is an essential precondition to providing a conducive environment for the normalization of lives, and opportunities for income generation. Mine action activities also facilitate economic revitalization and social integration interventions, providing opportunities for community-level social cohesion.

Currently, the Government is prioritizing mine survey and clearance tasks and MRE for resettlement and livelihood purposes in the North. A limited number of General Mine Action Assessments (GMAA) and Technical Surveys (TS) conducted between 2002 and 2006 in the Northern districts found 203.8 km2 contaminated with mines and ERW. Significant fresh contamination is expected given the fighting which occurred between 2006 and 2009 and this has been confirmed by recent but limited GMAAs and mine clearance activities conducted. With the current rapid pace of returns, demand for survey and clearance in Jaffna, Mannar and Vavuniya will remain, particularly given the anticipated increase in tasks in the Killinochchi and Mullaitivu districts at the end of 2009 and into 2010.

As of end of 2009 there are 99 ongoing clearance and survey tasks, with another 106 tasks planned. In order to efficiently and effectively handling the surge of tasks in the North, demining operators will need to significantly increase their human resources, technical and mechanical capacities, including through the recruitment of additional deminers and the procurement of mechanical demining equipment.

UNDP will continue to support the GoSL’s coordination-led and management of the mine action sector. The UNDP-supported District Mine Action Offices (DMAOs), will continue to support the GAs in conflict-affected districts to coordinate and manage mine and UXO clearance. In order to meet the accelerated demands for demining in the North along side residual mine/UXO clearance in the East, UNDP will strengthen its human resource, operational and technical capacities. These strengthened capacities will support coordination and quality management necessary for the significant increase in mine clearance activities.

The government has prioritized mine clearance tasks which will expedite resettlement and support resumption of agricultural activities. Surrounding jungle and areas with high contamination which will require lengthy mine clearance work, will be marked and cleared at a later stage. People returning to, or living in these areas require sustained MRE to mitigate safety risks until all areas have been cleared.

The National Steering Committee for Mine Action and the District Mine Action Steering Committees will continue to serve as a forum for coordination among the various stakeholders in the mine action sector. Coordination and information sharing will be strengthened to ensure efficient, cost-effective division of labour. Mine action international instruments of law, such as the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention, will also be reviewed.

Beneficiaries Approximately 543,000 estimated IDPs, returnees and conflict- affected people Funds Requested $82,8 m Funds Requested Per Priority Level Immediate - $82,403,633; High - $364,300 Contact Information Giancarlo Stopponi [email protected]

Needs Analysis A nutrition survey conducted by the Medical Research Institute (MRI) in September 2009 indicated significant improvements in the nutritional status of Vanni IDPs. The improvements can be linked to strong nutritional support provided through supplementary feeding programmes. Nonetheless malnutrition rates in IDP camps remain high, in particular among children under-five, elderly and pregnant and lactating women. As the population returns, vulnerability associated with poor nutritional status will remain and without continued support could increase. To safeguard nutritional gains, WFP and food sector partners plan to continue food assistance through the mother and child nutrition and school meal programmes in resettlement areas.

Although the majority of IDPs are expected to return to their homes by early 2010, a significant number will remain in camps and will require ongoing food assistance. To prevent any deterioration of nutritional status, WFP food ration will remain at 2,100 kcal/person/day for those still in camps, while returnees will be provided with a 1,900 kcal/person/day ration.

Under its vulnerable group feeding (VGF) programme, WFP will provide returnees with a six-month food package. The ration will be distributed on a monthly or bi-weekly basis in the areas of return either as direct relief or through FFW depending on the situation on the ground. Objectives and parameters of the assistance will be established in agreement with the respective GAs.

Food assistance will continue to be provided in collaboration with the MoNB&EID, MoRDRS and district secretariats. At the same time, Food Sector activities will be implemented in close cooperation with key NGO partners and other sectors to ensure an effective and concerted humanitarian support for the most vulnerable populations in the country.

Needs Analysis The end of hostilities has paved the way for the voluntary return of displaced persons. During the last quarter of 2009, return of IDPs accelerated, and has initially concentrated on the districts of Mannar, Vavuniya, Jaffna and Mullaitivu. In addition to the 2008 / 2009 conflict-affected displaced population, longer-term IDPs are also in need of durable solutions, some of whom have been in displacement since 1990. Of these, some live in camps, while many reside with host families. The main districts of origin for both new and longer-term IDPs are Mannar, Vavuniya, Killinochchi, Mullaitivu and Jaffna, in addition to some areas in the Eastern Province.

Although access for I/NGOs to the return areas is presently limited, progressive access to some return areas including parts of the Vanni is foreseen by the end of 2009. As per GoSL estimations approximately 70% of IDPs released to host families or returned by the end of the year and 75,000 Vanni IDPs will remain in emergency camps at the beginning of 2010. The vast majority of the remaining new Vanni caseload of IDPs are expected to opt for return in 2010. The GoSL is taking the lead in planning a return framework and has called upon agencies bilaterally to support IDPs with the return process and reintegration assistance.

Needs Analysis As a result of the end of conflict in the North, an estimated half a million people, which includes displaced, returning and host community population, will require access to safe water supply, adequate sanitation facilities and hygiene education, according to the national and SPHERE standards.

The aftermath of the complex conflict situation and the current resettlement that is unfolding requires a comprehensive and well coordinated WASH response both for IDP in camps and in areas of resettlement, which include affected host communities. In support of the GoSL, UNICEF in its role as sector lead will facilitate coordination amongst WASH partners to ensure effective planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of the WASH related humanitarian assistance to the affected population.

Response Strategies The WASH response strategies will focus on interventions to support returnees alongside the ongoing emergency response aimed at reducing vulnerabilities among affected IDP populations that remain in camps in Vavuniya, Jaffna, Mannar and Trincomalee. This will include the timely and coordinated

SRI LANKA 2010 COMMON HUMANITARIAN ACTION PLAN provision and maintenance of safe drinking water supply, adequate sanitation and hygiene education services to IDPs based on international and national standards. Support for the return response will be through a multi-sector approach to promote sustainable return and resettlement of IDPs, refugees and host communities by providing water supply, sanitation and hygiene promotion services. The strategy includes the provision of immediate and medium-term WASH services that address the different needs of women, men, boys and girls.

A rights and community-based approach will be applied in both areas. Assessment of access and to and control over resources will aim at addressing the gender specific needs of women, men, girls and boys. Understanding the patterns of water access, water source control, collection and needs, the different uses of and responsibilities for water by women, men, girls and boys (i.e: cooking, sanitation, livestock). Responsibilities for maintenance and management of water and sanitation facilities will also be factored into development of gender inclusive programming.

Emergency response activities (to IDPs) • Facilitate effective coordination among key WASH partners involved in the response ensuring equal number of women and men are represented and provide the necessary technical support with Government leading coordination exercises. • Provide a minimum of 10 l/person/day of safe drinking water to IDPs in existing camps by water bowsering, and maintenance of existing water supply systems. (Disaggregated by sex & age). • Maintain the latrine facilities for IDPs in camps taking into account gender specific needs (such as adequate lighting). • Operate and maintain solid and liquid waste removal and disposal operations in IDP camps to ensure a hygienic environment. • Improve hygiene practices among IDPs and returnees through participatory hygiene promotion approaches ensuring the equal participation of women and men. • Provide hygiene kits and latrine cleaning kits and other relevant WASH supplies to IDP families (ensuring that distribution information is disaggregated by sex and age). • Undertake regular water quality monitoring of water sources and recommend appropriate remedial measures with the help of public health inspectors (PHIs).

Return response activities (to IDPs and Refugees, including host communities) • As part of the joint initial assessments, determine the number of women, men and children and the locations of those at risk for disease outbreaks. Sex and age disaggregated data in data collection tools i.e. rapid assessment forms, disease surveillance forms will be included to inform the development of targeted gender actions based on the specific and different needs of women, men, girls and boys. • Facilitate effective coordination among key WASH partners, including ensuring equal number of women and men are represented and provide the necessary technical support. Government to lead the coordination exercises. • Provide a minimum of 40 l/person/day of safe drinking water to IDPs (both new and old case loads) and refugee returnees (disaggregated by sex & age) by water bowsering, rehabilitating/constructing wells, drilling of new boreholes, and rehabilitating/constructing of community managed water supply systems. • Construct semi permanent and permanent latrines in resettled areas. • Promote safe solid and waste water disposal in resettled areas by providing gully suckers and establishing waste water disposal sites. • Provide hygiene kits and latrine cleaning kits and other relevant WASH supplies to IDP families (ensuring that distribution data is sex and age disaggregated). • Undertake regular water quality monitoring of water sources and recommend appropriate remedial measures with the help of PHIs.

SRI LANKA 2010 COMMON HUMANITARIAN ACTION PLAN

Needs Analysis Although the 26 year-long conflict has ended, close to 500,000 persons remain displaced and in need of a durable solutions. This includes those newly displaced in the North during 2008 and 2009, those displaced in earlier phases of the conflict mostly in the East in 2006 and 2007 and prior to the cease fire agreement in 2002. From late October, the pace of returns for the newest Vanni caseload of IDPs increased considerably, and as of mid-January 2010, approximately 64% of this population has moved back to their districts of origins or into host family or community care.

The protection focus in 2010 will concentrate on the protection needs of the returning populations. At the same time, the needs of IDPs remaining in IDP sites and with host families will require continued attention. For this population, it is expected that returns will continue in 2010 and that solutions for those not able to return will need to be identified in consultation with the IDPs themselves and relevant stakeholders. In addition at least 2,500 vulnerable children including those separated, orphaned, disabled, released from armed groups, reunified with parents/relatives and in orphanages/rehabilitation centres, will need special attention.

To the extent possible within security and Government clearance parameters, protection activities within the Vanni will include assessments and monitoring, community mobilization, support for the re- establishment of local Government, social services, alternative dispute resolution and land registries, the judicial system, child protection services and safety nets for particularly vulnerable families. Awareness-raising on specific protection concerns such as GBV and other gender and age specific vulnerabilities will also be included. Finally, supporting community response by strengthening CBOs will also be a priority.

Protection and legal aid needs of IDPs, returnees and conflict affected populations in the East will continue to be met by agencies operational agencies there. Particular attention will be paid to continued access to assistance and services to the remaining displaced population pending a durable solution. Support to access documentation, specifically on land issues as well as legal advice will also continue. Further, attention will be paid to community mobilization activities for IDPs, returnees and conflict affected populations, with a specific focus on child protection and GBV. The specific protection needs of Sri Lankan refugees who have repatriated from India will also be identified and addressed.

The significant presence of Government security forces deployed throughout the North and East as well as the presence of armed non-state actors contribute to fear and mistrust amongst the different communities and between the civilian population and the authorities. Confidence-building and stabilization measures will be strengthened at district level, including through Quick Impact Projects (QIPs); enhancing civil-military relations; and promoting community involvement in all aspects of protection, humanitarian assistance and durable solutions; and by addressing restitution and compensation issues. Support will also be provided on housing land and property issues to ensure equitable treatment and sustainable return. In addition, psychological support to address the effects of the conflict, family separation, displacement in difficult confined conditions, and compromised self- reliance and coping mechanisms is required. Reintegration and psycho-social support for vulnerable children, including those released from armed groups, separated and orphaned children will be pursued through statutory bodies and community based child protection. Special attention will also be given to the needs of other vulnerable groups, such as the large number of women headed households and persons with disabilities.

Monitoring and reporting on protection issues in the North and East will cover a range of issues including human and child rights violations, arrests and detention, disappearances, limitations on freedom of movement, (GBV), access to justice and other services and durable solutions. Monitoring and reporting on incidents and providing accurate and reliable protection data is vital for prevention, response and advocacy.

Protection coordination and strategic planning will continue at both district and central levels to ensure a holistic protection response. The protection sector will also ensure that protection and other cross cutting issues such as GBV and HIV/AIDS are incorporated across sectors. An important element of the protection strategy is the mainstreaming of an age, gender and diversity perspective in all aspects of protection interventions to ensure gender equality and respect for the rights of IDP women, men, girls and boys of all ages and backgrounds.

Salvador, (Technical Officer, EHA unit) [email protected]

Needs Analysis As the humanitarian focus turns to the resettling of the population to their areas of origin, the challenge will be to ensure adequate capacity to provide health care services to three groups of people: a) the displaced population who remain in camps, (in particular Menik Farm), until they can return to their places of origin; b) people who have begun to return and resettle in the different areas of the Vanni district; and c) the host population. Priorities for the Health Sector therefore will be to ensure the availability of primary and secondary health care services including curative, preventative, rehabilitative and referral services for each of these groups.

Adequately addressing the needs of three closely related groups is dependent on the availability of appropriate medical personnel in the different areas. Coping with increased demands for health care services will require that the needed human resources are available and that it is coordinated between the national, provincial and district levels in order to respond to special needs and gaps. In addition to a strong coordination mechanism within the MoHN, Provincial Director of Health Services (PDHS) and the RDHS, coordination and information sharing between the MoHN and the other stakeholders such as the MoDMHR and the MoD is also important. The current health sector coordination mechanism, led by WHO, will continue to support overall coordination between GoSL partners, the UN and NGOs to effectively address health needs and gaps.

More focus on the needs of the elderly, people with disabilities and people with mental health and psycho-social problems is required. As post-conflict stress and psychological problems often are manifested six months after the event, psycho-social support will also be an important emphasis for significant numbers of conflict-affected individuals. Following from the immediate curative care that has been provided for people with disabilities, the priority here will move to support prosthetic and other support devices, physical rehabilitation at hospital and community levels.

SRI LANKA 2010 COMMON HUMANITARIAN ACTION PLAN

Only a limited number of surveys on disabilities and the number of mine / ERW victims have been conducted and therefore, the information available to appropriately plan is incomplete. Providers of assistance to people with mine-related disabilities are, however, anticipating the number of people with disabilities in need of assistance to rise and are planning accordingly. Although availability and quality of physical rehabilitative services for mine / ERW victims have improved over recent years, serious gaps remain. A key area of rehabilitation is support for reintegration into society, including re- establishing livelihoods and regaining independence. Effective rehabilitation in turn, increases the productivity of disabled citizens in their communities, lowers the risks of stigmatization or isolation in society and strengthens the peace dividends for whole communities.

Needs Analysis Large-scale displacement, insufficient services, social disruption and loss of property and income lead to high levels of food and nutrition insecurity within the displaced population. A Nutrition Survey conducted in the camps in Menik Farm, Vavuniya in May 2009 by the MoHN’s Medical Research Institute (MRI) found high levels of malnutrition in the internally displaced children under-five with a global acute malnutrition of 35.6% and severe acute malnutrition of 8.7%.

To address these significant nutritional deficits, the MoHN, with support from UNICEF and Sarvodaya, established a Nutrition Rehabilitation Programme in the IDP camps. Through 21 nutrition rehabilitation centres managed by Public Health Midwives (PHMs) and volunteers, combined with active case finding through Sarvodaya and MoHN, over 3,500 severely malnourished children were treated. Complementing these efforts, WFP and NGO partners supported both a general food ration and blanket supplementary feeding for children under-five, pregnant and lactating women and vulnerable elderly and disabled. UNICEF and NGOs also supported the MoHN in distribution of multiple micronutrient tablets, vitamin A supplements, de-worming, breast feeding spaces, and therapeutic feeding centres in Vavuniya General Hospital and Cheddikulum Base Hospital.

A follow-up survey in September 2009 found that the prevalence of acute under-nutrition (wasting) among children under-five had been significantly reduced (33%) since the May 2009 initial assessment. To maintain improvements in the nutrition situation, the existing nutrition programme will continue and will be strengthened for those IDPs remaining in camps. To prevent deterioration in the nutrition situation among returnees and their hosts, nutrition services will follow beneficiaries to return areas in the North. The MoHN will be supported to deliver nutrition programmes through strengthening of the health system and support to implementation of the Integrated Nutrition Programme (INP), a national programme that provides a package of nutrition interventions to adolescents, pregnant and lactating mothers and children under-five. NGOs will support Infant and Young Child Feeding interventions as part of the INP in the areas of return.

Needs Analysis As of December 2009, the number of conflict-affected children in IDP camps, transitioning to host communities or home villages and residing in areas of the North and East, where early recovery is ongoing, amounts to approximately 100,000. In these contexts, it is crucial that a safe learning environment and education facilities is available to all children under-18 who require substantial educational assistance to offset the potential long-term consequences of disruption to their education.

SRI LANKA 2010 COMMON HUMANITARIAN ACTION PLAN

Sector organizations will support children in accordance with international emergency education standards to ensure increased learning achievement and a return to normalcy and productivity.

Education Sector organizations will collaborate and coordinate with each other to ensure that no gaps or overlaps occur in programming and that sector partners coordinate closely among themselves and with relevant Government, UN/(I)NGO departments/agencies. In addition, the Education Sector will identify complimentary areas between sectors to build programmatic synergies and enhance results (e.g.WASH facilities in all schools and schools as focal points for activities in health and protection). Community and school-based MRE combined with community liaison will ensure that children and adults in affected areas have the knowledge, skills and attitudes to protect themselves from the risks of landmines and ERW. These activities will be implemented by the Education Sector in coordination with the MoE at the national and district level.

Sector monitoring plan Monitoring of activities under CHAP 2010 will benefit from lessons learned in 2009. The Education Sector is in the process of evaluating and developing a common and utilitarian set of tools and

SRI LANKA 2010 COMMON HUMANITARIAN ACTION PLAN mechanisms to create a more reliable and consistent baseline database and research platform. The scope and complexity of the sector response has dictated an emphasis on quantitative indicators for CHAP 2010 activities but monitoring and evaluation will also incorporate appropriate qualitative methods of data collection and analysis to gauge the quality of sector results and outcomes.

The government’s M&E system will be the basis for data collection and monitoring and evaluation, but will be strengthened and enriched with inputs from sector partners with an emphasis on user- friendliness and reliability. In IDP camps, I/NGO partners will assist in M&E while in resettlement areas the responsibility is likely to mainly be reliant on education authority at the zonal, provincial or national level. The Education Sector will also identify reliable sources of information within government institutions (e.g. GA, MoHN, Ministry of Child Development and Women’s Empowerment) and across sectors (Health, WASH, and Child Protection, Mine Action) to minimize duplication of efforts.

All relevant data informing the achievements of the Education Sector CHAP objectives will be directed through the coordination mechanisms strengthened in 2009 (National Education Sector Coordination group, provincial coordinating bodies, zonal education sector/cluster, International Network for Education in Emergencies [INEE] working group) to gauge progress against indicators and adjust programmatic responses accordingly.

Agriculture including Food Security UN Cluster/Sector Lead Agency Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) Agencies Involved Government agencies (Ministry of Agricultural Development and Agrarian Services [MoADAS], Ministry of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources [MoFAR], Ministry of Livestock Development [MoLD]) • UN agencies (FAO, ILO, UNDP, UNICEF, WFP) • Civil society organizations (ACTED, CARE, Christian Aid, Danish Church Aid [DCA], DRC, FORUT, IRD, IWMI, Muslim Aid, NRC, OXFAM GB, Practical Action, Swiss Labour Assistance (SAH), Sewalanka Foundation, ZOA) Number of Projects 24 Cluster/Sector Objectives The overall objective of the sector is to support the rehabilitation of the agricultural-based livelihoods of the conflict-affected population in the Northern Province and reduce the need for protracted relief operations and dependency of the affected rural population. Specific objectives include: • To mitigate socio-economic and environmental losses; • To increase food production, ensure food security and improve nutritional levels of the resettled farmers and fishing communities in the North; • To enhance immediate income-generation and employment opportunities to assist in reducing poverty levels among the target population focussing on resettled IDPs and host communities; • To re-establish and strengthen the institutional set-up to develop crop, livestock and fisheries sub-sectors. Beneficiaries 206,292 returnees and host and conflict-affected communities (Women= 105,209) Funds Requested $23.6 m Funds Requested per Priority Level Immediate - $14,311,297; High -$8,564,892; Medium - $727,600 Contact Information Patrick Evans, FAO Representative [email protected];

Needs Analysis Some 65,000 farm and fishing families are estimated to be among the IDPs directly affected by the conflict with a similar number are also estimated to be among the longer-term IDPs many of whom have not been able to access their farms for years and even decades. The 2002 Agricultural Census12 revealed that 58% of the 164,000 “agricultural households” in the Northern Province were homesteaders farming with less than 0.1 ha of back garden and that 86% of all farms larger than 0.1 ha are less than two hectares in size. Restoring agricultural production and related income-generating opportunities is primary for immediate food security.

SRI LANKA 2010 COMMON HUMANITARIAN ACTION PLAN

The most severely affected communities in the North were not able to harvest their crops in 2008 and 2009, lost productive assets and are in debt to farmers’ banks and co-operative societies. With these main coping mechanisms exhausted, they are highly vulnerable to exploitation and destitution. While other affected communities may have been some remaining productive assets intact and have been partially able to pursue livelihood activities, but will require support to access land, water supplies, and markets and regain production.

Before and even during much of the conflict, agriculture (i.e.crops, livestock and fisheries) was the primary economic source of livelihood for the inhabitants of the Northern Province. The sector employed some 80% of the population and provided the basis for food security, most communities in the Northern Province will need immediate resources to resume agricultural activities and move to food security. Without assistance before the next agriculture season, which begins in early 2010 and fishing season (February 2010), dependency on humanitarian food aid is likely to extend beyond the planned six months.

Sector monitoring plan The objectives of each project within the sector will follow the overall sector objectives. Monitoring activities will be carried out by each partner to ensure that they are meeting project objectives as well as contributing to overall sector objectives. Each project will include indicators (in line with the sector indicators) and a monitoring plan.

FAO will monitor the activities of partners and provide periodic summary reports which will serve to monitor the sector’s objectives. FAO will also closely monitor the price of basic agriculture livestock and fisheries products as well as the cost of inputs in order to provide early warning to prevent and mitigate the ill-effects of potential food shortages.

FAO will work closely with WFP, UNDP, UNICEF and ILO and relevant government institutions on Food Security Assessments. The Sector will ensure that a gender perspective is applied through inclusion of sex and age disaggregated data in baseline, needs and resource assessments; assessments teams include a balanced male/female ratio; an equal numbers of women and men IDPs/resettled population/host communities are consulted; and data is gender-analysed and taken into consideration in programming. The sector will collaborate closely with the MoA and other government counterparts, including at the central and provincial levels to collect vital food security information and

SRI LANKA 2010 COMMON HUMANITARIAN ACTION PLAN monitor relevant indicators through routine collection, reporting and analysis of sex and age disaggregated data.

In addition, sector partners will advocate for key issues, concerns and gaps identified at the district level to be taken up and addressed at the national level. FAO as the sector lead will work to strengthen inter-agency collaboration on coordination of livelihood activities as well as encourage active participation of NGOs at the district level to minimize overlaps and reduce duplication of efforts.

Needs Analysis ERI interventions bridge the critical gap between the scaling-down of humanitarian activities and the scaling-up of recovery and development activities. ERI is critical to resettlement as it provides returnees with immediate income-generating opportunities including cash-for-work schemes for quick impact, clearance and rehabilitation of agricultural land and agriculture related infrastructure. ERI provides avenues for IDPs and returnees to move from aid-dependence to self-reliance to improve the sustainability of returns.

Currently, the Northern districts in Sri Lanka are preparing for considerable numbers of returnees. Given the need for bolstering the socio-economic capacities of IDPs immediately upon return, the ERI Sector will build on the existing skills and capacities of the populations and support their immediate income-generation, focusing on livelihood activities that require minimum start-up times and re- training. ERI activities will be mindful of the particular challenges of returnees who, do not have access to livelihood assets, land and property, and therefore will be accommodated in temporary locations or with friends and relatives for the next months.

Approximately 69,541 IDPs, comprising those displaced both in the last wave and prior waves of the conflict have returned to the Jaffna district. ERI activities will support the sustainable resettlement of these returnees and their host-communities, paying specific attention to the particular challenges of communities living in the islands with shortage of water and poor access roads. Building on the relaxed restrictions on fishing in the district, ERI activities will pay specific attention to supporting immediate income-generating activities in the fisheries sector.

Following the initial resettlement of approximately 2,605 families in the Oddusuddan, Manthai East and Thunukkai DS Divisions of Mullaitivu District and approximately 1,153 families in the Poonakari and Karachchi DS Divisions of Kilinochchi District in November 2009, it is anticipated that up to 180,000 persons will return to the Mullaitivu and Killinochchi districts respectively over the course of 2010. ERI activities in Mullaitivu and Killinochchi will support constructing and/or rehabilitating critical livelihood and community infrastructure.

Needs Analysis In 2010, continued support for IDPs remaining in camps and those returning home will be required from the humanitarian community. Humanitarian activities will require logistics support including access to the current structure of storage and transport facilities which will remain essential until commercial capacity along with safety and security improvements are realized. Currently in the former conflict area, limited commercial or government infrastructure is present, therefore storage and transport will need to be set up and maintained for a period, in cooperation with the government. Furthermore, transport for returning IDPs and their possessions will need to be provided to ensure dignified, voluntary and timely returns.

Needs Analysis As the resettlement of people displaced during fighting in the North accelerates, planning, information and general coordination support will be required to facilitate the return process. The scale and diversity of the response demands strong coordination support, timely information products and regular joint advocacy messages to ensure that the needs of all vulnerable conflict affected populations are addressed in a timely, efficient and cost-effective manner.

OCHA will continue to work with the international aid community to complement Government efforts to address humanitarian needs. Continued advocacy and resource mobilization for IDPs and returnees is a priority. Coordination, information and security support will work together to facilitate timely, efficient, effective and safe delivery of humanitarian assistance. Review and adjustment of current inter-agency, sector coordination mechanism will aim to strengthen processes of consultation, transparency and accountability in line with humanitarian reform cluster guidance. Further efforts to strengthen government linkages by facilitating information management in DMC are planned.

To define strategies to address humanitarian challenges and ensure the basic needs of vulnerable groups are addressed, OCHA will continue to support humanitarian coordination structures, while the United Nations Department of Safety and Security (UNDSS) will continue to facilitate the UN Security Management Team both at Colombo and district level. OCHA will continue to closely cooperate with the MoDMHR through liaison and information support as well as additional information, contingency planning and disaster preparedness support targeted at the DMC. Secretariat and information management assistance will continue in support of the UN RC/HC and the UNCT. OCHA will also continue to provide support to the Humanitarian Country Team, which includes as members, standing invitees or observers, UN, NGO and donor representatives. At the district level, OCHA field coordination officers and UNDSS security officers will provide continued support to UN Focal Points / Area Security Coordinators (UN FP/ASCs).

OCHA will continue to monitor the humanitarian context with a focus on vulnerabilities and risks of communities in the Northern districts. These efforts will continue through liaison and collaboration with the Government, NGO and UN partners.

Needs Analysis Through sustaining capacity for the current security management system, this project aims to minimize security risks and contribute to the safe implementation of humanitarian resettlement and relief programmes, with the ultimate objective of reaching vulnerable beneficiaries. .

The security support capacity of UNDSS in Sri Lanka was designed and budgeted for a standard country office where the programme activities did not include prolonged emergency or humanitarian related activities. Therefore the core security capacity has been supplemented by the Security Project approved in 2008 and again in 2009 under CHAP, which provides for much needed additional capacity to address the capacity needs associated with the conflict and its aftermath.

SRI LANKA 2010 COMMON HUMANITARIAN ACTION PLAN

The security requirements in the field have shifted with additional demands resulting from the spread of services.

The activities that require close security support in the North are as follows: 1. Regular analysis of the conditions in the greater Vavuniya, Mannar and Jaffna districts and with the opening of the A9, appraisal of the Vanni routes required to access areas of resettlement, early recovery and relief programmes. 2. Regular analysis of the conditions in the various camps to put in place mitigating measures and reduce any risks of insecurity to staff working there. This will require regular monitoring and adjustments to standard operating procedures to proactively mitigate conditions that might trigger unrest or security incidents. 3. Access management and operational support for humanitarian agencies working in the IDPs camps through a joint operation centre established at Menik Farm. 4. Stress counselling for staff and dependents deployed in the North. 5. Pre-security assessments to assess the large number of UXO and mines in resettlement areas. 6. Close support to de-mining, access to cleared areas and the resettlement.

Sector monitoring plan UNDSS monitors the implementation and UNDP monitors the expenditure (actual verses budget) in accordance with their policies.

4.6 Roles and responsibilities The Presidential Task Force (PTF) has the overall responsibilities for planning and implementing the resettlement of the displaced population. In support of PTF resettlement plans and ongoing needs in the IDP camps managed under the leadership of the district level GAs, the CHAP includes 55 UN and I/NGO agencies involved in ten different sectors.

In addition to overall PTF approval, CHAP proposals will be agreed within individual agency country level agreements. Emphasis will be placed on local capacity enhancement and cost-effective utilization of resources. At the field level, project implementation will be supported through GA offices, 12 GoSL line ministries and their technical departments. Liaison and information sharing with the Military, particularly on issues of mine action, is coordinated through the UN Focal Point, UNDSS and OCHA.

SRI LANKA 2010 COMMON HUMANITARIAN ACTION PLAN

Since mid-2008, Vavuniya has been the Northern hub for relief operations and now, the base for supporting return operations. Alongside an increase in implementation capacity, support structures for coordination, logistics and security have also been reinforced. Capacity for reporting as well as advocacy on key humanitarian principles such as access, protection on civilians and freedom of movement is also important. High level UN visits during 2009 of the Secretary General as well as several Under Secretary Generals (including four visits by the Under-Secretary General for Humanitarian Affairs) reinforced the need for the UN’s strong engagement to address the complex and rapidly changing environment.

Ongoing inter-agency coordination needs are discussed in regular meetings of the UNCT, the HCT at Colombo and district levels. In line with global IASC recommendations, the HCT provides a forum for discussion on planning and implementation of the humanitarian response in support of the GoSL overall lead. Following a sector level review conducted in mid-2008, designated leads for Protection, Agriculture, Food Aid, Nutrition, Health, Water and Sanitation, Shelter, Education, and Economic Recovery were formalized in line with global agreements. Following the 2008 review, further consultations were held in mid-2009, with the aim of improving decision making and partnerships.

The need for substantial humanitarian and early recovery capacity both in Colombo and the Northern areas is expected to continue throughout 2010. As the situation has evolved in East of the country, adjustments in coordination have been made in consultation with key Government, NGO and UN partners. For example, with the majority of returns in the East completed and a significantly improved security environment, many of the UN and NGO Eastern field offices in Ampara, Batticaloa and Trincomalee were scaled back and coordination responsibilities handed over to development actors, working closely with the local and provincial government authorities.

5. CONCLUSION

Following nearly three decades of conflict, the conflict between the GoSL and the LTTE came to an end in May 2009. The physical hardship and emotional suffering leading up to the conflict’s end was dramatic and required a large-scale and multi-faceted response. During 2009, the focus of the response started with convoy and shipping operations providing life-saving food, medicine and other essential supplies and by the second quarter of the year had moved to support for establishing camps and at the same time, assisting in addressing the basic needs of some 285,000 IDPs. At year end, the response focus again shifted to supporting families to return to their district of origins and helping them begin the long process of rebuilding homes and communities.

Building on the momentum that began during the final quarter of 2009 to resettle the majority of people back to their homes, the first months of 2010 will see dual priorities of resettlement and continued relief assistance for those who will not be immediately able to return home. Attention on increasing the level of sustainability through gradual improvements in food security, access to livelihoods, basic services and community support structures are priorities.

Following from the large-scale assistance the humanitarian community provided in 2009 in support of the GoSL overall lead, the humanitarian community will continue to deliver services in the resettlement process as well as respond to the needs of a significantly reduced displaced population still in camps during 2010. A total of 55 agencies propose 173 projects to be implemented in the North and the East of the country, for which a total budget of $337,688,785 million is being requested.

Consolidated Appeal Process (CAP)

The CAP is a tool for aid organizations to jointly plan, coordinate, implement and monitor their response to disasters and emergencies, and to appeal for funds together instead of competitively.

It is the forum for developing a strategic approach to humanitarian action, focusing on close cooperation between host governments, donors, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, IOM and United Nations agencies. As such, it presents a snapshot of the situation and response plans, and is an inclusive and coordinated programme cycle of:

• strategic planning leading to a Common Humanitarian Action Plan (CHAP); • resource mobilization leading to a Consolidated Appeal or a Flash Appeal; • coordinated programme implementation; • joint monitoring and evaluation; • revision, if necessary; • reporting on results.

The CHAP is the core of the CAP – a strategic plan for humanitarian response in a given country or region, including the following elements:

• A common analysis of the context in which humanitarian action takes place; • An assessment of needs; • Best, worst, and most likely scenarios; • A clear statement of longer-term objectives and goals; • Prioritized response plans, including a detailed mapping of projects to cover all needs; • A framework for monitoring the strategy and revising if necessary.

The CHAP is the core of a Consolidated Appeal or, when crises break out or natural disasters strike, a Flash Appeal. Under the leadership of the Humanitarian Coordinator, and in consultation with host Governments and donors, the CHAP is developed at the field level by HCT. This team includes IASC members and standing invitees (UN agencies, IOM, the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, and NGOs that belong to ICVA, Interaction, or SCHR), but non-IASC members, such as national NGOs, can also be included.

The Humanitarian Coordinator is responsible for the annual preparation of the consolidated appeal document. The document is launched globally near the end of each year to enhance advocacy and resource mobilization. An update, known as the Mid-Year Review, is presented to donors the following July.

Donors generally fund appealing agencies directly in response to project proposals listed in appeals. The Financial Tracking Service (FTS), managed by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), is a database of appeal funding needs and worldwide donor contributions, and can be found on www.reliefweb.int/fts.

In sum, the CAP is how aid agencies join forces to provide people in need the best available protection and assistance, on time.
