  • Wattala- Mabole Urban Council
    UNDP / UN-Habitat - Sustainable Cities Programme (SCP) Sustainable (Sri Lankan) Cities Programme (SCCP II) PROFILE Wattala- Mabole Urban Council March 2002 • UN-Habitat (SCP) • Government of Sri Lanka (Western Provincial Council) • Wattala Urban Council • SEVANATHA – Urban Resource Centre (Local Partner Institution) City Profile – Wattala Mabole Urban Council Introduction This city profile was prepared as part of the requirement of the Sustainable (Sri Lankan) Cities Programme (SCCP II) which is being implemented in the Colombo urban area during the time period of 2001 – 2002 involving eight urban local authorities (i.e. Colombo Municipal Council, Sri Jayawardenapura Kotte Municipal Council, Dehiwala Mt. Lavinia Municipal Council, Moratuwa Municipal Council, Negambo Municipal Council, Kolonnawa Urban Council, Wattala Mabole Urban Council and Panadura Urban Council). The primary purpose of preparation of a city profile is to understand the current status of environmental resources in the city, the development activities and the nature of interaction between these two factors. It is neither scientific investigation nor a high profile technical report but it is a simple document, which tries to highlight the current problems relating to city development in the concerned area. It also emphasizes on a participatory decision making process to solve the identified problems in the city. This city profile can be further updated and improved continuously whereby the local authority staff would be able to improve their skills in preparing documents such as these, which are essential for decision making at city level and influencing the policy making authorities above them. In this context, this city profile may be considered as a first step towards developing a proper database for Wattala Mabole town supporting towards better management of its future development activities.

  • Sri Lanka Acca Cities in Sri Lanka
    SRI LANKA ACCA CITIES IN SRI LANKA (From the presentation by Nandasiri Gamage, from the Women’s Co-op, at the ACHR regional meeting in Bangkok) The ACCA projects in Sri Lanka are being implemented by a country-wide network of women’s savings groups Kilinochchi, (Women’s Co-op), in close partnership with the NGO Northern Province Sevanatha. They have used the ACCA resources to help create, test and standardize a city-wide slum up- grading procedure, which they call the Urban Settle- ment Upgrading Program (USUP), and which they are now replicating in all the ACCA cities. This USUP process has several clear steps, including surveying and mapping the city’s slums, identifying potential va- cant land, presenting the survey data to the municipality for approval, setting up savings groups, establishing a Batticaloa, joint city development committee (usually chaired by Matale, Eastern Province the mayor), preparing city-wide upgrading action plans Central Province and then implementing actual upgrading and housing projects, as per the action plan. Because Women’s Co-op has 70,000 members, in 22 of the country’s 25 districts, with collective savings of some US$ 14 million, this is an organization with the Nuwara Eliya, scale and clout to make this kind of community-driven Central Province and city-wide slum upgrading into a national process! The ACCA Program, in turn, has helped Women’s Co- op to add the elements of housing, land tenure and Moratuwa, settlement upgrading into their already very large and Western Province sophisticated programs for saving, livelihood, welfare, health, culture, disaster relief and skills training.
