EXECUTIVE SUMMARY One year after Sri Lanka’s conflict ended, significant progress has been made on releases and returns from camps for internally displaced people (IDPs). Large-scale efforts are underway to re-establish essential services and livelihoods throughout the former conflict-affected areas in an effort to increase the sustainability of returns. At the same time, assistance needs to continue for the 60,000 IDPs still in camps, as well as for the 68,000 accommodated with host families, most of whom have limited access to assistance and services. Alongside a rapidly evolving humanitarian context, the political landscape in Sri Lanka also witnessed significant developments during the first part of 2010. The ruling United Peoples Freedom Alliance (UPFA) party won the Presidential and General elections in January and April respectively, after which changes to Ministry portfolios and new ministerial appointments were made. The Government has declared development a priority, including that of the Northern Province. The Presidential Task Force for Resettlement, Development and Security in the Northern Province retains the main responsibilities for coordination of humanitarian/return assistance for returnees. The second half of 2010 will be critical in moving from urgent immediate needs to self-reliance and community reconciliation. Continued assistance will be required in support of the Government objective to bring the remaining displaced back to their homes in safety and dignity. This will entail priority funding for mine action and activities to address the basic needs of returned communities, particularly adequate shelter, food, water and sanitation. In addition, emphasis on basic livelihood assistance, particularly for agriculture and fisheries to reduce food aid dependence, will also be a priority, aiming to accelerate stabilization and normalcy in return areas. During this period, the need to maintain focus on the residual caseload of an estimated 25,000 to 30,000 IDPs remaining in camps will be equally important, due to existing vulnerabilities but also to ensure that returns are managed in a systematic, safe and sustainable manner. After a review of projects, the total funding requirement for 2010 has been reduced to US$1287,799,870 from the previous estimate of $337,688,785. The main reductions are in the areas of shelter and water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) with significant adjustments also made to health, nutrition and economic recovery. Reductions are mainly related to implementation capacity, which has been challenged by approval processes required for non-governmental organization (NGO) activities, safety issues associated with ongoing mine/unexploded ordnance (UXO) contamination and funding shortfalls. Funding as of June 25 stands at $115,773,793, covering 40% of the revised requirements. 1 All dollar signs in this document denote United States dollars. Funding for this appeal should be reported to the Financial Tracking Service (FTS, [email protected]), which will display its requirements and funding on the CAP 2010 page. 1 SRI LANKA Some basic humanitarian and development facts about Sri Lanka Most recent data 21,1 million people Population (2008, Department of Census & Statistics, Sri Lanka) $4,243 Gross domestic product per capita Economic (UNDP Human Development Report 2009) Status Percentage of population living on 14% less than $1.25 per day (UNDP Human Development Report 2009) Adult mortality (disaggregated into 5.8/1,000 male/female - m/f) (Department of Census and Statistics, Sri Lanka) 39.3/100,000 live births Maternal mortality (Ministry of Health [MoH], Sri Lanka) 19.39/1,000 Under-five mortality m/f (MoH, Sri Lanka) 71.7 (for Males) 76.4 (for Females) Life expectancy m/f Years from birth Health (Department of Census and Statistics, Sri Lanka) MD: 51.7/10,000 Number of health workforce (Medical Nurses: 125.7/ 10,000 doctor - MD +nurse + midwife) per Midwife: 12.8 /10,000 10,000 population (Annual Health Statistics, MoH) 97.1% (Demographic and Health Survey [DHS]) 2006- Measles vaccination rate 2007, UNICEF- Medical Research Institute 2006- 2007) 21% Prevalence of under-nourishment in (Food and Agricultural Organization [FAO], Food Food & total population Security Statistics, 2009) Nutrition Under-five global acute malnutrition 15% rate (DHS 2006-2007) Proportion of population without 22% sustainable access to an improved (National Water Supply & Drainage Board WASH drinking water source [NWSDB], Sri Lanka) Consumption of potable water Five litres/per/day (litres/person/day) (NWSDB, Sri Lanka) As at 31 December 2009: 108,106 (IDPs in camps), 155,966 (returnees), 28,854 (released IDPs (number and percentage of from camps) who were displaced after April population) Population 2008; In addition, 242,000 IDPs displaced Movements before April 20082 In-country 1,480 refugees returned during the year 2009.3 Refugees – as at 31 137,752 Sri Lankan refugees are living in other December 2009 Abroad countries as of 1 January

Preface For several years, Norway was involved in efforts to contribute to a peaceful solution to the conflict in Sri Lanka. After the military victory by the Sri Lankan army over the Tamil Tigers (LTTE) in May 2009, Norway no longer had a role to play. This evaluation of Norwegian peace efforts in Sri Lanka was commissioned mainly for the purpose of informing international peace efforts. The evaluation team was asked to analyze Norway’s role as a peace facilitator in Sri Lanka 1997 – 2009, in light of the knowledge and opportunities available at the time.
