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

Assessment of Risks to Water Bodies due to Residues of Agricultural Fungicide in Intensive Farming Areas in the Up-country of Sri Lanka using an Indicator Model Ransilu C. Watawala1, Janitha A. Liyanage1 and Ananda Mallawatantri2 1Department of Chemistry, University of Kelaniya, Kelaniya, Sri Lanka 2United Nations Development Programme, Colombo, Sri Lanka Introduction Indiscriminate use of agrochemicals poses a major environmental threat to surface and groundwater. Intensive vegetable cultivation on the steep slopes of up-country hills requires extremely high levels of pesticides (insecticides and fungicides) and fertilizers to maintain high yields and profitability. Farmers do not necessarily follow the doses and frequencies recommended in the instructions but apply higher doses more frequently, as they believe that this will increase yields. The implications of these decisions are not considered by farmers due to the lack of information and understanding of the environmental pathways of chemicals after application. In addition, the methods available to account for the variability of soils, climate and other factors influencing the risk of pesticide use are complex. Potato cultivation in Nuwara Eliya, Bandarawela and Welimada Sri Lanka is a good example of the effects of excessive pesticide use. In these areas precipitation exceeds 1,830mm per annum and crops are affected by a number of diseases and insect attacks, such as late blight caused by Phytopthora infestance. The prevailing misty conditions also promote fungal growth requiring famers to use contact and systemic fungicides for prevention. Lack of understanding of pesticide pathways and the desire to ensure that the disease is under control often lead to overdoses and higher frequency application of pesticides. -
