Project Development Objective(s) A. Original Project Development Objectives - Parent The primary development objective of the project is to improve the delivery of local infrastructure services by local authorities in the Northern and Eastern Provinces of Sri Lanka in an accountable and responsive manner. B. Proposed Project Development Objectives - Additional Financing (AF) 3. Project Description Project Description The parent project was initially financed with IDA resources. A co-financing grant was received from the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) and World Bank partnership for South Asia to continue the activities supported by the project. The project activities eligible for financing will remain as it is for the DFAT funds and the previous additional financing in 2013. The proposed additional financing which is being processed in May 2015 is to provide an additional of credit 20 million would close a financing gap caused by a shortfall in the Governments original counterpart financing and to deepen overall the project impact. The AF will be used to finance activities that were already planned, detailed and budgeted for under the original project. No new activities are proposed under this AF and hence no new safeguard policies will be triggered. There are five components in the project: Current Project Development Objective (PDO) is to support local authorities in the Northern and Eastern Provinces and Adjoining Provinces to deliver services and local infrastructure in a responsive and accountable manner. Revised Project Development Objective (PDO): NIL The project components and implementation arrangements remain unchanged. Component 1: Infrastructure Service Delivery: The objective of this component is to improve the quantity and quality of public goods delivered and maintained by Local Authorities (LAs). These may include rural roads, drains, culverts and bridges, public buildings, markets and fairs, waste disposal, rural water supply, parks, recreation facilities and libraries, nursery schools, playgrounds and dispensaries. Component 2: Institutionalizing Accountabilities: This component aims at ensuring that LAs undertake public expenditures and deliver local services in a transparent and accountable manner. It will strengthen upward and downward accountability systems at the LAs and will support: (a) transparent and independent annual financial audits of LAs to ensure their financial accountability; Page 2 of 13 (b) social and technical audits of public expenditures undertaken by LAs to ensure effective use of funds in line with citizen expectations; and (c) systems and processes to bring greater transparency in LA affairs and strengthen citizen voice in planning, budgeting and monitoring. This component will also support an Information Education & Communication (IEC) campaign aimed at disseminating project related information to different stakeholders at all levels. Component 3: Building Capacities: This component aims at strengthening the service delivery systems and capacities of the LAs to deliver their mandated services as well as strengthening the monitoring capacities of the provincial and national level institutions. It will support (a) improving the efficiency of current systems and procedures relating to planning, budgeting, financial management, revenue management and procurement at the LA level, (b) improving the efficiency, timeliness and follow up of the internal and external audits of LAs, (c) training elected representatives and staff of LAs on financial management, procurement and project management, (d) providing effective hand holding support to LAs on day to day basis, and (e) developing a long term capacity building strategy for LAs. It will also support the strengthening of the capacities of the national and provincial level institutions that play a critical role in the support and oversight of local government functions. Component 4: Assessments and Evaluation: This component will finance: (i) activities pertaining to establishing a comprehensive monitoring system, including baseline assessment, repeater surveys of social assessments, social accountability assessment, gender assessment, and capacity assessments; (ii) evaluating technical and social audits and preparation of citizens score cards; and (iii) other needed analysis as and when they are needed. Component 5: Project Management: This component will support the key agencies at the central, provincial and local levels that are involved in the day to day management of the project to procure necessary consultancies, equip ment and operational support for the smooth implementation of the project. 4. Project location and salient physical characteristics relevant to the safeguard analysis (if known) Project location and salient physical characteristics relevant to the safeguard analysis (if known) Project will be located in the Northern, Eastern, North Central, North Western and Uva Provinces of Sri Lanka. These provinces are located in the low country dry zone in Sri Lanka. Northern Province: Northern Province has an area of 8,884 square kilometers. The province is surrounded by the Gulf of Mannar and Palk Bay to the west, Palk Strait to the north, the Bay of Bengal to the east and the Eastern, North Central and North Western provinces to the south. The province is divided into two distinct geographic areas: Jaffna peninsula and the Vanni. Jaffna peninsula is irrigated by underground aquifers fed by wells whereas the Vanni has irrigation tanks fed by perennial rivers. Major rivers include: Akkarayan Aru, Aruvi Aru, Kanakarayan Aru, Kodalikkallu Aru, Mandekal Aru, Nay Aru, Netheli Aru, Pali Aru, Pallavarayankaddu Aru, Parangi Aru, Per Aru, Piramenthal Aru, Theravil Aru. The province has a number of lagoons, the largest being Jaffna Lagoon, Nanthi Kadal, Chundikkulam Lagoon, Vadamarachchi Lagoon, Uppu Aru Lagoon, Kokkilai lagoon, Nai Aru Lagoon and Chalai Lagoon. Most of the islands around Sri Lanka are to be found to the west of the Northern Province. The largest islands are: Mannar island, Kayts, Neduntivu, Karaitivu, Pungudutivu and Mandativu. Page 3 of 13 The Northern Province tends to be hot and dry in the dry season (February to September), and moderately cool and wet in the wet season (October to January) when the North-east monsoons takes place. Province's climate is tropical and therefore during monsoons there is always the chance of a deluge. In the lowlands the climate is typically tropical with the average temperature is around 280 to 300 for the year. Relative Humidity varies from 70% during the day to 90% at night. Annual rainfall is less than 1250 mm in the north west and south east of the Inland. Majority of the people earn their livelihood as farmers, fishers and professionals in the civil and business sectors. Agriculture is the prominent source of livelihood for vast majority of the people. Jaffna peninsula is irrigated by underground aquifers fed by wells whereas the Vanni has irrigation tanks fed by perennial rivers. Agricultural is the prominent source of income for the people of the province. The Major agricultural crops produced in this province are Paddy, Chilli, Red Onion, Black gram, Green gram, Cowpea, Groundnut, Bombay Onion.

  • Fit.* IRRIGATION and MULTI-PURPOSE DEVELOPMENT
    fit.* The Historic Jaya Ganga — built by King Dbatustna in tbi <>tb century AD to carry the waters of the Kala Wewa to the ancient city tanks of Anuradbapura, 57 miles away, while feeding a number of village tanks in its course. This channel is also famous for the gentle gradient of 6 ins. per mile for the first I7 miles and an average of 1 //. per mile throughout its length. Both tbeKalawewa andtbefiya Garga were restored in 1885 — 18 8 8 by the British, but not to their fullest capacities. New under the Mabaweli Diversion project, the Kill Wewa his been augmented and the Jaya Gingi improved to carry 1000 cusecs of water. The history of our country dates back to the 6th century B.C. When the legendary Vijaya landed in L->nka, he is believed to have found an island occupied by certain tribes who had already developed a rudimentary sys­ tem of irrigation. Tradition has it that Kuveni was spinning cotton on the bund of a small lake which was presumably part of this ancient system. The development of an ancient civilization which was entirely depen­ dent on an irrigation system that grew in size and complexity through the years is described in our written history. Many examples are available which demonstrate this systematic development of water and land re­ sources throughout the so-called dry zone of our country over very long periods of time. The development of a water supply and irrigation system around the city of Anuradhapuia may be taken as an example.

  • Water Balance Variability Across Sri Lanka for Assessing Agricultural and Environmental Water Use W.G.M
    Agricultural Water Management 58 (2003) 171±192 Water balance variability across Sri Lanka for assessing agricultural and environmental water use W.G.M. Bastiaanssena,*, L. Chandrapalab aInternational Water Management Institute (IWMI), P.O. Box 2075, Colombo, Sri Lanka bDepartment of Meteorology, 383 Bauddaloka Mawatha, Colombo 7, Sri Lanka Abstract This paper describes a new procedure for hydrological data collection and assessment of agricultural and environmental water use using public domain satellite data. The variability of the annual water balance for Sri Lanka is estimated using observed rainfall and remotely sensed actual evaporation rates at a 1 km grid resolution. The Surface Energy Balance Algorithm for Land (SEBAL) has been used to assess the actual evaporation and storage changes in the root zone on a 10- day basis. The water balance was closed with a runoff component and a remainder term. Evaporation and runoff estimates were veri®ed against ground measurements using scintillometry and gauge readings respectively. The annual water balance for each of the 103 river basins of Sri Lanka is presented. The remainder term appeared to be less than 10% of the rainfall, which implies that the water balance is suf®ciently understood for policy and decision making. Access to water balance data is necessary as input into water accounting procedures, which simply describe the water status in hydrological systems (e.g. nation wide, river basin, irrigation scheme). The results show that the irrigation sector uses not more than 7% of the net water in¯ow. The total agricultural water use and the environmental systems usage is 15 and 51%, respectively of the net water in¯ow.

ABSTRACT Water for Agriculture sector in Sri Lanka is facing challenges through increased demands by other sectors and also confronts the issues of a market economy and international and regional trade agreements that are exerting pressures on prices and thus farmer incomes. Issues of ability of most farmers to secure full employment from irrigated farming thus impacting on their income generation avenues are requiring new initiatives as well.
