1. 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.

2. CHANGES IN THE CONTEXT, HUMANITARIAN NEEDS AND RESPONSE

During the first half of 2010, returns continued at a steady pace, with brief interruptions during the Presidential and Parliamentary election periods in January and April respectively. Over 246,000 people have been released from camps as of the end of May. This includes nearly 153,000 people who are back in their districts of origin, another 68,000 people who are staying with host families and 1,192 people in social care institutions. During the first five months of 2010, an estimated 1,000 refugees and 10,000 IDPs from previous caseloads have also returned to the Northern Province, with numbers expected to rise in the latter half of 2010.

As returns progressed, the number of IDPs in Government-run camps in the Northern Province has decreased from over 260,000 IDPs at the height of displacement and 109,000 at the beginning of the year to 59,000 people as of the end of May. Women, including single-head households, make up over half of this population, while just over 30% are children and 4% are elderly. A significant number of people with disabilities are also present. Those remaining are accommodated mainly in the Vavuniya district’s Menik Farm site, which has progressively closed zones as numbers decreased in the camp. The steady pace of returns is expected to continue throughout the rest of the year, with projections indicating a residual camp population of at least 25,000 during the last quarter of 2010. Plans are underway to consolidate the remaining IDPs in Menik Farm’s Zones 0, 1 and 3.

Against funding shortfalls and together with capacity constraints, the camp population’s basic assistance needs for food, shelter, water and sanitation continue, as does the need for access to health, education and protective services. While progressive freedom of movement since December 2009 has provided IDPs with better access to markets and community services, the majority still rely on assistance and services provided in the camp. A drastic reduction in the number of service providers is challenging substantial ongoing maintenance requirements of shelters and tents, most of which have reached the end of their lifespan. The reduction is also challenging water supply, sanitation facilities and drainage. Once again, contingency planning for the north-east monsoon season expected in October will be of critical importance, in order to mitigate risks associated with heavy rains and high winds in the camps, but also for vulnerable returnee families.

In addition to those still in camps, there are significant numbers of IDPs relying on host family assistance with differing challenges and concerns. In Vavuniya, approximately one quarter (26,000 people) of the host-family caseload are IDPs displaced from the last phase of the conflict, and who were released from Menik Farm in late 2009 based on existing vulnerabilities (e.g. pregnant women, and sick, disabled and elderly people). Another 44,000 people fled the Vanni district between 2006 and 2008, prior to the establishment of emergency sites. They joined some 198,000 IDPs who arrived before 2006, but also await durable solutions.

Alongside continued priorities to care for IDPs still in camps and to advocate the needs of those in host families, the United Nations (UN) and NGOs are working with the Government to address the immediate basic needs of returning families. Immediate assistance includes a six-month provision of dry food rations, shelter and non-food item supplies, and a 25,000 rupee ($220) shelter cash grant. Although most returning families have received the standard package of assistance, funding shortfalls and insufficient capacity have resulted in assistance gaps and continue to threaten future assistance levels. Working with Government line ministries is also ongoing to rapidly re-establish basic services. This has included water and sanitation structures in private and public settings, as well as in health, education, civil administrative and protective services. In those sectors, too, funding shortfalls are a major challenge.

A food security assessment conducted in March highlighted that six months after the first significant returns, communities face continued food insecurity, particularly in Kilinochchi, Mullaitivu and Northern Vavuniya districts where the last two harvests have been either minimal or lost. This prompted a decision for a three-month extension of food assistance in these areas, with other more targeted assistance planned for vulnerable groups in other areas of return. In the meantime, emphasis is being

7 SRI LANKA placed on supporting the upcoming Maha5 planting season, which begins in October 2010, to assist communities in moving from food aid dependence to self-sufficiency and income generation. In addition to timely inputs for the next growing season, continued progress on removing mine/UXO contamination, together with rehabilitation of abandoned or destroyed irrigation systems, will be critical to support resumption of agriculture and livelihood activities.

The provision of the shelter cash grant has been important input to support families in meeting their immediate needs, as well as for modest investments in shelter, mobility and livelihoods. However, a survey conducted by the World Food Programme (WFP) in March 2010 indicated that the majority of returnees were in non-durable shelter. With the Government prioritizing semi-permanent or permanent homes, the time and investment required to reconstruct/repair homes leaves the 90,000 families returning to the Vanni district with immediate vulnerabilities. This is of particular concern as the monsoon season is approaching. It is also a concern for vulnerable groups, such as female- headed households, the elderly and the disabled.

Adequate provision of water supply and sanitation facilities is also a significant need, with only a fraction of the estimated needs covered. In addition to conflict-related damage, water supply and sanitation coverage in the affected areas of the North were below national average. Now, thousands of wells are in disrepair and many are contaminated by mines/UXOs. Toilets, where they exist, are often damaged or destroyed. In some areas, such as Manthai West and areas in Jaffna, water-supply schemes are compromised by salinity. In other areas, potable groundwater sources are in a state of disrepair.

Widespread damage to health facilities and schools, combined with shortages of health workers and teachers, are severely hampering the provision of basic health and educational services. In the area of health, the upcoming monsoon season (September/October) is likely to increase risks of communicable diseases such as diarrhoea, typhoid and chicken pox, as well as the already high levels of dengue seen in the camps and return areas. Ar priority is maintaining improvements to malnutrition rates for IDPs treated in camps through continued monitoring and targeted nutritional supplements as IDPs return home. In the months ahead, it will also be essential to make up for the schooling interruptions endured as a result of conflict, displacement and the return process.

As indicated in the most-likely scenario presented in the Common Humanitarian Action Plan (CHAP) 2010, resettlement of the majority of displaced people from the North has progressed, as indicated by the Government, but with interruptions during the election period, and challenges related to capacity, access, and information sharing and planning. Progress has continued on de-mining as a pre- requisite for safe return, with increased adherence to established release procedures against continued difficulties in keeping pace with the level and spread of returns. Ensuring the sustainability of the returns remains a key challenge given funding gaps affecting capacity, as well as continued practical access difficulties.

The total funding requirement of $337,688,785 estimated at the beginning of the year has been reduced to $287,799,870. This includes 178 projects proposed by 56 agencies. The main reductions are in the areas of shelter, WASH, health, nutrition and economic recovery. This is due to the implementation capacity being challenged by delays associated with the Government’s decision not to endorse the CHAP, approval processes required for NGO activities and safety concerns associated with ongoing mine/UXO contamination. Funding as of June 25 stands at $115,773,793, covering 40% of the revised requirements. Several sectors, including economic recovery and infrastructure (ERI) (0%), WASH (7%), agriculture (6%) and mine action (20%) have funding of 20% or less.

5 The Maha Season (October-January) is a period with excessive rainfall while the Yala Season (April-August) is the drier season.

Current / Most-Likely Scenario Core assumptions • With the end of military operations in the Vanni and a progressive stabilization in the North, the risk of security incidents and acts of violence by armed groups will continue to decrease. However, intra- communal tensions and localised disputes over land and other resources will be likely • The increased pace of returns and ‘releases’ seen at the end of 2009 and the beginning of 2010 will continue throughout the year • Approximately 30,000 of the old caseload of IDPs will also be returned to their places of origin in 2010 • Approximately 60,000 Vanni IDPs remain in emergency camps as of June 2010. (of whom approx 55,000 in Menik Farm) • Humanitarian access to return areas including parts of the Vanni district increasingly improves • In return areas, land for resettlement will be prioritized for clearance/release, with secondary priority given to areas important for agricultural/livelihoods activities. Increased emphasis will be placed on agricultural lands during the second half of 2010

Progress of humanitarian demining operations between January and May 2010 • Access limitation in selected areas will continue due to heavy contamination of mines and UXOs, insufficient resources for the mine-clearing process or physical obstacles such as jungle clearing • Continued advocacy and contingency solutions will be needed to ensure adequate safety and provision of services in areas where secondary displacement has taken place • The extent of the Maha agricultural harvest in January/February 2011 will impact food security • The A9 remains open for humanitarian, resettlement and return activities • Some HSZ open in Jaffna and Trincomalee (three Grama Niladhari Divisions [village officer division – which is an administrative division] Divisions in Jaffna were released from the buffer zone in Tellipalai at the end of March and in the resettlement area of Kadatkaraichenai in Trincomalee, farmers were allowed to cultivate 400 acres within the HSZ for paddy cultivation as of January) • Alongside progress on release of HSZ in Jaffna and Trincomalee, HSZ may be created in Mullaitivu and Killinochi districts. Approximately 3,000 Sri Lankan refugees will repatriate from India, either spontaneously or with the assistance of United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) • IDPs participation in decision making that affect their well being and future will improve • 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, but with continued vulnerabilities and capacities spread across a growing geographic area and an increasingly complex response • Continued significant mine action capacity is required to facilitate resettlement and recovery operations particularly in the Kilinochchi and Mullaitivu Districts, but also in Vavuniya, Mannar and Jaffna to increase the portion of cleared territory to support sustainable return through access to cultivation, farming land, water and other natural resources • Ongoing challenges to restarting livelihood opportunities due to continued mine contamination, with priority for surveying and de-mining process given to residential areas and funding constraints; • Livelihood assistance in rural areas will lag behind services and small trade inputs in urban centres, and more accessible areas along main roads • Humanitarian assistance needs to continue with support required for the remaining IDP case loads in camps and those still residing with host families in Vavuniya, Mannar and Jaffna Districts in the latter part of 2010; (and the first months of return...) • Continuing protection concerns both in areas of displacement and in areas of return, particularly for segments of the population with specific needs: the elderly without family support; women – especially if single headed household; and children – especially separated and unaccompanied children, and children formerly associated with armed groups; people with disabilities and those released from ‘rehabilitation’ centres • A drastic decline in the support to the remaining IDP populations in camps and in host families, is not unlikely and may lead to a situation of neglect and exploitation • There is visible progress in meeting humanitarian needs and supporting the re-establishment of services in the return areas; continued investments will be needed to support resettled communities, including social and protective services as well as specialised health support for people with specific needs (PWSN), livelihood opportunities for women, legal and judicial institutions and child protection services • The reintegration of people formerly detained on grounds of suspected Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) affiliation will require regular support and monitoring • Approval to carry out child protection programmes in areas of resettlement will remain challenging

Current / Most-Likely Scenario • A portion of the old caseload of IDPs (pre-2006) will be supported to return to their places of origin • Equity issues likely will become more important • 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:

Sri Lanka CHAP 2010 Mid-Year Review (MYR) prioritized caseload: CHAP 2010 MYR Prioritized Caseload IDPs Returnees IDPs in Emergency sites (May 2010) 59,500 - IDPs with host families 68,000 - IDP returnees (August 2009 to May 2010) - 153,000 Subtotal: Caseload displaced after April 2008 280,500 IDPs displaced before April 2008 (Old caseload) 95,000 * Refugee returnees (from India: January – May 2010) - 3,000 ** Subtotal: Caseload displaced before April 2008 98,000 Total 378,500 * 95,000 out of a total of 212,000 (displacement between 2006 to 2008 + Pre-2006 displacement) ** Includes 700 facilitated and estimated 2,300 spontaneous returnees

3. PROGRESS TOWARDS ACHIEVING STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES AND SECTORAL TARGETS

3.1 STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES Priorities for Sri Lanka have been agreed in consultation with agencies involved in humanitarian and return activities. They consider current needs and 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 3.2.

3.2 SECTOR RESPONSE PLANS Mine Action

There has been steady progression in surveillance of the conflict-affected areas in the North to assess the extent of mine/explosive remnants of war (ERW) contamination. Surveys, jointly conducted by the Sri Lanka Army-Humanitarian Demining Unit (SLA-HDU) and international demining operators, have accelerated. This has resulted in the release of a large area for resettlement in the Vavuniya, Mannar, Killinochchi, Mullaitivu and Jaffna Districts. Surveys in all administrative divisions in the five Northern districts are either completed or in progress.

Results of the combined non-technical and technical surveys in the North reveal that as at May 2010, approximately 482 km2 are contaminated by mines/ERW. In many areas, the survey process is ongoing and the scale of mine/ERW contamination will only be known after completion of the survey process, expected at the end of 2010. In addition, between 1 January 2010 and 25 May 2010 another 123 km2 of land was released for resettlement through minefield clearance and battle area clearance. This paves the way for the direct resettlement of 75,245 IDPs, out of a total of 153,000 people who have returned back in their districts of origin at the end of May.

Survey and mine-clearance tasks have been carried out in accordance with the Government’s national resettlement plan, prioritizing residential areas and roads, while marking off other contaminated areas for later clearance. Areas still contaminated include padi (rice) fields, wells and irrigation infrastructure, which are critical for the resumption of livelihoods. Rapid progress on the removal of these mines/ERW is critical to support families and communities in moving from dependence of food assistance to self-sufficiency.

Completing the surveys for the North and clearing residential areas for resettlement remain the priority of the mine action sector during the next six months. As of June, sector partners have secured resources through July/August 2010. Without additional funding to cover the current gap, several agencies will be forced to significantly scale back their operations and slow mine-clearance operations. This will have a detrimental effect on resettlement, resumption of livelihoods, safety of the population and on general peacebuilding efforts for the North.

The Ministry of Economic Development (MoED), together with the SLA-HDU and with the technical support of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), is currently drafting a long-term national mine-action strategy. The strategy will address the issue of mine contamination throughout Sri Lanka.

Food Aid

In cooperation with the Government, WFP continued its vulnerable group feeding (VGF) for IDPs and returnees during the reporting period. A total of 22,091 metric tons (MT) of mixed food commodities were distributed to 153,531 IDPs and 130,988 returnees. The commodities consisted of the following: 7,870 MT of rice, 9,473 MT of wheat flour, 2,600 MT of pulses, 917 MT of vegetable oil, 885 MT of sugar, 289 MT of corn-soya blend (CSB), 43 MT of salt and 14 MT of canned fish. In addition to the relief assistance, WFP and food sector partners implemented 638 livelihood recovery projects under the Food For Work (FFW) scheme, benefitting 45,810 beneficiaries with 1,583 MT of mixed food commodities (662 MT of rice, 679 MT of wheat flour, 159 MT of pulses and 81 MT of sugar). In addition, 1,638 MT of CSB — fortified blended food — was distributed to 121,146 beneficiaries through the Mother and Child Health and Nutrition programme, which aims to improve the nutritional status of pregnant/lactating women and children under–five in IDP camps and resettlement areas. To bridge the transition from relief to recovery support, WFP also initiated ‘soft’ FFW activities in various areas in the North. This initiative provided family rations for returnees who participated in community- level livelihood recovery works. Assistance for 264,475 beneficiaries included 5,066 MT of food commodities (2,260 MT of rice, 1,703 MT of wheat flour, 680 MT of pulses, 216 MT of oil, 207 MT of sugar). In cooperation with WFP and Government authorities, World Vision (WV) also implemented a supplementary feeding programme (SFP), targeting vulnerable women and children under age five in camps.

In addition to food assistance, food partners have procured various agriculture tools, water pumps and sprayers to facilitate recovery activities aimed at improving food security. WFP provided five rubhalls (Wiikhalls) and 40 containers to increase the storage capacity of the Multi Purpose Cooperative Shops (MPCS) and district secretariat storing capacity in the Vanni area. A joint Emergency Food Security Assessment conducted by WFP, FAO and the Government in the Vanni area, assessed the status of food security and livelihood recovery. Conclusions of the report, which has been widely shared, are supporting decisions on appropriate food assistance, activity and non-food support within the resettlement context.

Key food sector challenges have included returns taking place in locations where MPCS outlets had limited management capacities or had not yet been established, creating food distribution difficulties. Timely supply of rice through local purchase was also a problem in a few districts. As the number of projects grows and the geographic area increases, monitoring and evaluation of projects and activities are stretching available resources with increased monitoring capacity needed. Strengthened cooperation with the Government and partners is required to improve existing limitations during the second half of the year.

Along with those being newly resettled, the most vulnerable segments of the returnee population will continue to receive general food assistance under the vulnerable group feeding (VGF) scheme. At the same time, recovery projects such as FFW and Food for Training (FFT) will aim to support returnees in regaining their livelihood and creating individual and community assets to increase food security. Social safety nets will continue to be supported through school meal programmes and maternal and child health and nutrition programmes. Special emphasis on nutrition is aimed at improving the nutritional status of vulnerable women and children in the North. Joint programming and cooperation among humanitarian agencies and the Government will also be strengthened.

The WFP-led food aid sector has been merged with the food security and agriculture sector, which has contributed to improved synergies and stronger coordination for more effective joint programming and project implementation. A number of consultations were conducted with the Government counterparts and NGO partners at national and provincial level including for WFP’s new country strategy and for FFW activities, aimed at developing new strategies and priorities in the short, medium and long term. Protection workshops were also organized to increase the understanding of food

Shelter/Non-Food Relief Cluster

The shelter sector has two areas of focus: (i) maintenance of shelter for IDPs housed in Menik Farm; (ii) shelter assistance provided to IDP families returning to the Vanni district.

(1) Menik Farm Approximately 30,000 families were present in Menik Farm at the beginning of 2010. As of the end of May, the number had reduced to approximately 14,000 families. Additional movements were planned for June to further reduce the number to approximately 12,000 families. As zones in Menik Farm are progressively closed, additional consolidation is planned, including decommissioning of approximately 8,000 shelters and tents planned by the end of the year. Plans also indicate that Zones 0 and 1, which have barrack-style structures, will be the last zones to close. Zone 3, with more durable emergency shelter kit structures, has been identified for accommodating approximately 1,000 families if additional capacity is required. However, structures in Zones 0 and 1 have considerable damage. Repair and maintenance costs estimated at $150,000 are required if the remaining IDPs are to be moved. As of the end of May, approximately 2,450 shelters in Zones 0 and 1 are empty. In Zone 3, ESK capacity is 3,750.

Against substantial ongoing needs, there has been a steady decline in support for maintenance activities in Menik Farm during the first half of 2010. To illustrate this, at the start of 2010 six agencies had funding for maintenance activities. However, as of the end of May 2010, UNHCR, through its implementing partner Organization for Human Rights and Resource Development, is the only agency working on shelter maintenance and decommissioning in Menik Farm. Even though this decrease in capacity has coincided with a period of significant return movements, funding and capacity constraints are affecting the ability to keep pace with needs. In addition to shelter maintenance and decommissioning, partners continue to provide regular replenishments of NFIs to cater the needs of the IDPs living in camps.

(2) Shelter support for Returnees Returning families receive a cash grant of $220 to support immediate shelter needs, although funding shortfalls have affected grant distribution. Between the start of the return process in late 2009 and the end of May 2010, UNHCR has assisted 45,992 families through the shelter grant provision.

NFI packages also provide an essential input to address shelter and household needs of the returning populations. A shelter assistance kit, which includes basic tools for land clearance and cultivation, is supplemented by additional tarpaulins provided by UNHCR and International Organization for Migration (IOM) as required. NFI kits include core household items including mosquito nets, kitchen sets, jerry cans, towels and hygiene packs as well as basic tools for land clearance and cultivation. Approximately 65,000 NFI return kits have been distributed to returnees as at the end of April 2010. IOM distributes a Shelter Assistance Kit (SAK) which comprises a tarpaulin, ground sheet and sufficient timber for construction of a basic shelter (A-frame) at the time of return. This is supplemented by an additional tarpaulin provided by UNHCR with the NFI kit.

Estimates of the number of damaged/destroyed houses vary considerably, with numbers as high as 160,000 houses requiring reconstruction or repair. With the current combined commitment for transitional shelters and housing construction at approximately 25,000 for 2010/11, there are significant gaps between the shelter needs and the number of agencies and existing capacity to provide assistance.

During the first months of returns, families had been receiving 12 tin sheets, which enabled most families not receiving shelter assistance to construct a transitional quality shelter. The suspension of Government-provided tin sheets is exacerbating shortfalls in shelter provision. Since mid-April, most return families are receiving shelter assistance in the form of tarpaulins only that are insufficient to

17 SRI LANKA provide longer-term shelter protection, particularly during the monsoon season, which is usually expected in October.

The provision of shelter assistance for returning families will continue to be a key priority throughout the remainder of 2010. Pending additional funding allocations, UNHCR plans to continue with the shelter grant distribution and NFI kit to the remaining families as they return. Combined IOM and United Nations Office for Project Service (UNOPS) capacity will provide for the construction of 2,000 transitional shelters. This will be complemented by the initial SAK distribution of shelter materials (tarpaulin sheets and ropes), subject to funding availability.

Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH)

In Camps During the first half of 2010, the sector maintained a consistent supply of drinking and raw water to approximately 50,000 IDPs in Menik Farm. The sector also repaired and maintained WASH-related services, decommissioned latrines in vacated zones and provided hygiene promotion that also included the distribution of hygiene kits. Specifically, an average of 90.5 litres of water was made available daily to each person (31.8 litres/person/day of drinking water and 58.6 litres/person/day of raw water). An uninterrupted supply of piped drinking water is currently being provided to almost 50% of IDPs residing in Zone 3. This is provided by the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF)- funded/Oxfam piped water supply project, and consists of seven tap stands with 35 water collecting taps. Each tap stand has a water attendant to manage the water rationing system, which has greatly reduced the need of delivering water by bowsers.

As of mid-June, 3,304 toilets have been decommissioned from vacated zones, and 3,687 toilets and 77 bathing spaces have been repaired. Furthermore, 79 metres of pipe, 52 water collecting taps and 52 toilets pits have been replaced. Construction of ramps for 41 toilets for the less-abled IDPs is complete. A total of 354 water tanks were repaired by replacing the outlet valve balls. To ensure a healthy environment within the various zones in the camp, the Assistant Commissioner for Local Governance continues to maintain garbage collection and disposal activity, with support from SAH and UNICEF.

Five agencies are continuing with hygiene promotion activities (Arbeiter-Samariter-Bund Deutschland, Oxfam, SLRCS/Canadian Red Cross, UNICEF and ZOA). Activities include hygiene kit distribution, which remains a critical and vital component of the response. As of May, 23,635 hygiene kits have been distributed to the 59,000 IDPs who remain in Menik Farm.

In Return Areas WASH services are provided to IDPs as they return to their places of origin. This includes 2,915 dug wells cleaned and 515 upgraded to prevent contamination. Another 63 tube wells have been repaired and 19 new tube wells drilled, with hand pumps installed. A total of 1,095 new latrines have been constructed and 877 have been rehabilitated, with 367 latrines in process. A total of 12,693 hygiene kits have been distributed to the IDPs as they return.

Constraints and challenges faced Securing the necessary funding has been a key challenge in supporting the return process and the continued care maintenance activities in IDP camps. Other challenges have included continued mine contamination, difficulties faced by international NGOs and NGOs in obtaining clearances to work in the return areas, and various sector-specific restrictions. Another key challenge is a lack of trained technical craftspeople to provide the required skilled labour to undertake WASH-related construction.

Priorities for the remainder of the year include: • Care and maintenance of the WASH services in the IDP camps • Decommissioning of latrines from vacated zones • Upgrading of the cleaned wells in the return areas

Protection

The large-scale return of IDPs in the North that started in the latter half of 2009 continued into 2010 and is ongoing. As of May 2010, 236,755 people had left the camps. Of these people, 142,772 individuals now reside in their places of origin, while 68,000 live with host families. Many IDPs are returning to areas that experienced high levels of destruction during the last phase of the conflict, some of which have been depopulated for up to two years. Returning families are in dire need of support to rebuild their lives and re-establish livelihoods.

Increased freedom of movement has been a notable achievement during the first half of 2010. IDPs who had been compelled to stay in the camps regained a significant degree of freedom of movement when a pass system was introduced in December 2009. Since then, at any given time approximately 20,000 individuals are outside the camps, with an average of 6,000 passes being issued per day. While the pass system does not constitute full freedom of movement, it has significantly improved the lives of IDPs.

Protection monitoring of the situation of IDPs and returnees took place during the first four months of the year. It continues in all places of return and displacement in the North. Protection needs were identified, disaggregated by age and gender. Steps have been taken to address these needs through the provision of humanitarian assistance, mobilization of communities and community support structures, and coordination and advocacy on behalf of IDPs and returnees with local authorities and Government service providers. Gender-based violence (GBV) networks continued to develop and gain strength. These networks work closely with the relevant Government structures to ensure that prevention and response mechanisms are in place. Technical support was provided to the Government on managing statistical data related to IDPs and returnee populations. In addition, the national Human Rights Commission (HRC) was supported to carry out its mandate with the displaced and those who have returned. Areas of particular focus for HRC were civil documentation, awareness raising and training programmes/sessions for IDPs, returnees, local government authorities, police and members of the armed forces on various protection issues. These issues included human rights, IDP rights and the Guiding Principles on Displacement. UNHCR and other partners also carried out trainings on GBV, IDP rights and Confidence Building and Stabilization Measures (CBSM) targeted at the police, members of the armed forces and beneficiaries.

In the east, protection agencies continued to work with IDPs and Government partners to ensure that free and informed decisions are made by IDPs regarding solutions available to them. This is particularly relevant to those unable to return to homes located in high security zones (HSZ). Protection monitoring in return areas continued, allowing for follow up with relevant Government authorities and humanitarian and development agencies on the protection and assistance concerns of resettled communities.

Reduced funding for activities in Menik Farm since January 2010 has resulted in drastic cuts to services for IDPs in these sites. Given progressive improvement on freedom of movement for IDPs, humanitarian actors continue to advocate levels of assistance at least similar to those as at the end of 2009. This includes protection monitoring for the remaining IDPs until they can return to their places of origin in a voluntary, safe and dignified manner. In addition, support to the civilian authorities and other service providers in places of return are urgently needed. Capacity-building and strengthening of communities and community-based organizations, as well as continued support for NGOs to carry out activities in these areas, are also necessary for a timely return to normalcy and a sustainable return.

Support was provided for the rehabilitation and reintegration of 562 children formerly associated with armed groups. In addition, child protection community-based structures have been established in areas of displacement and resettlement.

22 SRI LANKA

The lack of service providers to support the reintegration of children and families returning to areas of resettlement posed a significant challenge. In addition, the January presidential and April parliamentary elections slowed some activities, particularly advocacy on the enactment of legislative amendments benefiting children. Priorities for the remainder of the year include the establishment and professionalization of child protection services in areas of resettlement, facilitating supportive reintegration of children leaving armed groups, promoting prompt family reunification, community- based reintegration, and new educational and employment opportunities. Community-based structures and psycho-social interventions (children’s clubs, child protection committees etc.) will be strengthened/established to enhance the community’s capacity to protect children from exploitation and abuse. Dialogue and building of trust between police officials and community members in conflict- affected areas will be encouraged so that there is increased reporting of child protection issues and action taken to address these issues.

Health

During the past five months, Menik Farm’s IDP caseload has had access to primary health-care services and referral services in the Cheddikulam IDP health-care centre. The communicable disease surveillance and response system continued in Menik Farm. Apart from a mumps outbreak in April, no major disease outbreaks occurred. Reproductive health care services, including maternal health, were available for women in Menik Farm camps. Immunization services continued for children of all ages. Health care services for IDPs experiencing mental health and psycho-social problems were available in Menik Farm, and health partners continued to assist people with disabilities through providing prosthetics and medical clinics in Menik Farm.

In the districts of Kilinochchi, Vavuniya and Mannar, where IDPs have returned to their places of origin, health sector partners rehabilitated 24 conflict-damaged health facilities. To upgrade health services, critical medical equipment and supplies were provided to five district hospitals in the return areas and to emergency ambulance services. Health sector partners also carried out mobile health clinics to supplement mobile medical teams provided by MoH. In the Vavuniya General Hospital, an orthopedic surgical ward was established to strengthen surgical services for IDPs, returnees and the host population. Technical training was provided to improve the capacity of health staff in primary trauma care, community first aid and disease surveillance.

During the first five months of 2010, funding constraints hindered the provision of essential health-care services to IDPs, including the deployment of sufficient numbers of medical staff to Menik Farm. As the resettlement progressed, the number of trained community volunteers in Menik Farm gradually decreased, either because they were resettled or due to funding shortfalls to support volunteer work. In addition, normal wear on temporary health facilities resulted in increased maintenance needs. In the return areas, an overarching challenge within the health sector was the limited number of health partners available to work. Additionally, access to health-care facilities was constrained by insufficient public infrastructure and by inadequate accommodation facilities for newly deployed health staff.

In April, a joint World Health Organization (WHO)/Regional Director of Health Services (RDHS) needs assessment was held in the return areas. It reinforced the need to support MoH efforts to revitalize the health-care system in the northern districts, including rehabilitating health facilities, providing medical equipment and building the capacity of health staff. Community-based health-care services, comprising community volunteers, public health inspectors and public health midwives, were identified as a key need, particularly until the system is fully rehabilitated.

Nutrition

Since the beginning of the year, the Nutrition Cluster has been delivering timely nutrition assistance to children, and pregnant and lactating women in IDP sites and resettlement areas in conflict-affected districts. In IDP sites, monthly child nutrition campaigns have been conducted to screen children under age five for malnutrition. Those identified with moderate acute malnutrition (MAM) have been provided with a one-month supply of high-energy biscuits (HEB). Those with SAM have been given a one-month supply of Plumpy’Nut. Children with SAM and medical complications have been referred to the therapeutic feeding centres (TFC) in Vavuniya and Cheddikulam hospitals.

From January to May, over 250 people with complicated acute malnutrition were treated. Additionally, 4,800 children under age five, and 200 pregnant and lactating women were provided blanket supplementary feeding with CSB to prevent the deterioration of their nutrition status. Breastfeeding promotion has been carried out by volunteers among women benefiting from blanket supplementary feeding.

The Nutrition Rehabilitation Programme (NRP) is being carried out in Jaffna and Mannar. It is being expanded to new resettlement areas in Kilinochchi, Mullaitivu and Vavuniya town. Additionally, a TFC is functioning in Mannar hospital. Over 150 health professionals from Vavuniya, Mannar, Kilinochchi and Mullaitivu districts, from primary health services and hospitals, have been trained on outpatient management of acute malnutrition. UNICEF has supported implementation of the NRP programme in IDP camps and resettlement areas, by ensuring the required supplies, such as therapeutic milk (F-75 and F-100), Plumpy’Nut, HEB, oral rehydration solution and multiple micronutrient supplements.

UNICEF has supported effective sector coordination through regular cluster meetings at national and field levels. This has included government counterparts, and national and international NGO partners.

Following Government protocol on micronutrient supplementation, children under–five in emergencies should receive multiple micronutrient supplementation for four months, complemented by a second four-month round of Sprinkles after a six-month break. The first round of supplements was carried out from August to November 2009 in IDP sites. A second round is due to start in June 2010.

The main priority for the second half of 2010 is to continue expanding coverage of the NRP programme in return areas. This will require further training of health workers on management of acute malnutrition, and infant and young child feeding practices, as well as provision of transport facilities. To achieve this objective, it is essential to strengthen health services in the northern resettlement districts, and strengthen links with the NRP programme, including community-level interventions.

The Nutrition Cluster will continue to advocate improved access for partners to resettlement areas, and to work closely with the food, WASH and health clusters to address the nutritional needs of conflict-affected vulnerable population groups.

Education

In the last six months, the education sector has achieved significant results through direct assistance to students, teachers and schools, and through support to administrative and management systems. Approximately 40,000 students and 1,500 teachers in remaining IDP sites, host schools and resettlement areas have benefited from the distribution of school furniture, teaching and learning kits, blackboards and recreation kits. Twenty temporary learning shelters (TLS) have been provided in areas with critical shortages of classroom space. Initial scopes of works for 22 heavily damaged schools in the Vanni districts have been completed to begin the process of providing permanent classroom space and increased access to education.

Training, materials development and assessment interventions have complemented these hardware interventions. A learner competency assessment for approximately 150,000 school-age children has been administered, along with a school-profile assessment to determine rehabilitation needs, teacher deployment/training patterns, and support for school feeding programmes and children with disabilities.

Although the results of these assessments are still being collated, they will form the foundation of a web-based monitoring system that is also under development. This will aim to improve monitoring, evaluation and planning mechanisms in the Northern Province. An initial run of 60,000 home-based learning modules in mathematics and Tamil language have been printed and distributed to provide support for children unable to attend school regularly. Accelerated Learning Programme teacher guides are scheduled for completion later this year for a programme that will directly support student retention, and reintegration for children who have fallen behind in school during the conflict. An in- service teacher training programme for novice teachers is also being developed to enhance education quality in resettlement areas and build on initial training provided to over 300 teachers in Menik Farm.

Despite solid accomplishments, there are a number of challenges to be overcome in developing and implementing a more cohesive education sector strategy. To maximize available resources and capacity, specific areas of focus for the remainder of 2010 include:

• Improved coordination between national, provincial, zonal education authorities and other education sector actors for improved financial management, service delivery and monitoring • Strengthening of education administrative capacity through more effective recruitment, deployment training and equipping of personnel • Increased Government budget allocation for the education sector, particularly to develop the conflict-affected areas of the Northern (and Eastern) province(s) • Expanded transportation and livelihood opportunities for families in resettlement areas to improve school resettlement and school attendance • Streamlined approach to school-based psycho-social support training in schools • Increased training opportunities for teachers and education administrators in resettlement areas

Agriculture Including Food Security

Cluster partners have provided timely agriculture assistance to capitalize on the Yala season, which runs from May to August 2010. Assistance has included seed padi, other field crop (OFC) and vegetable cultivation, as well as limited poultry assistance, with some 19,000 households in the Northern Province benefiting during the first half of 2010. The yields from the current Yala season will be limited due to inaccessible lands as a result of continued mine contamination combined with ongoing difficulties in accessing small- and medium-scale irrigation schemes and agro-wells needed to tap groundwater resources. In addition to the limited Yala harvest, most farmers returning to the North missed the last Maha season (October 2009 to February 2010). Therefore, they will remain largely dependent on food aid until the next major harvest in January/February 2011. Recent field assessments have also indicated that many households do not have facilities and infrastructure in place to store seed padi for the next season. Cultivation costs have also risen as a result of increases in prices of fuel, transportation, tools and other capital inputs. Insufficient local production levels are affecting the food security of the returning population, putting the health and nutritional status of vulnerable households in the North at risk.

A food security assessment conducted by WFP in the Vanni area during March 2010 revealed that a significant number of farmers were unable to access their padi land and highland. This was due to fear of landmines and the need for extensive land clearing and preparation for cultivation. Other conclusions of this assessment include the need to support the fishery sector by providing access to boats, engines and fishing gear, as well as support livestock activities through rounding up and vaccinating stray cattle; and boost goat and poultry production. These sectors have received little funds to date and remain a key priority for the second half of 2010.

For the upcoming Maha season, it is critical to support household food security through providing agricultural inputs and storage facilities, combined with facilitating access to water sources and continued progress on clearance of arable land and homesteads. In addition, the loss of key agricultural production from the Vanni area (particularly Mullaitivu and Kilinochchi) has added to food price hikes. In May 2010, the Government announced its aim to complete the resettlement of the remaining IDPs by September 2010. According to the Presidential Task Force, the Government will target 75,000 acres of abandoned padi land and 17,000 acres of abandoned highland for cultivation during the upcoming Maha season.

FAO and sector partners are urgently appealing for $23,4 million to meet these agriculture requirements, as well as urgent livestock and fisheries needs. To maximize production capacity and strengthen food security and self-sufficiency for returnees in the North, sufficient and timely funding for the Maha season is essential.

As sector lead, FAO will use its technical knowledge in the agriculture, fisheries and livestock sectors to maximize outputs. FAO will coordinate closely with sector partners and government counterparts to ensure that assistance is designed in a manner that effectively links immediate emergency and recovery assistance with long-term rehabilitation and development programmes.

Economic Recovery and Infrastructure (ERI)

Given the steady pace of resettlement during the first half of 2010, ERI needs have increased dramatically in the northern districts of Sri Lanka. The ERI sector was largely unfunded at the start of 2010, although several sector agencies, including UNDP, have since mobilized funds and developed ERI interventions in support of the large numbers of returning communities in the districts of Jaffna, Mannar, Vavuniya, Kilinochchi and Mullaitivu. UNDP implemented livelihood recovery activities in five divisions in Kilinochchi and Mullaitivu, targeting 3,000 returnee families. IOM has mobilized resources to support immediate income-generation activities for 2,041 people in the northern districts. Returnees in the North also benefitted from Oxfam-implemented cash-for-work schemes and livelihood grants, while World University Services of Canada (WUSC) is planning to re-start vocational training activities in Kilinochchi and Mullaitivu. UNOPS is supporting returnees with infrastructure livelihood activities, with project implementation at the preparatory stage. This is scheduled to commence shortly.

The continuing threat of uncleared mines and UXOs is one of the main challenges to progress on implementing ERI activities. While ongoing demining activities in the North are focused on resettlement, large areas of arable land and livelihood-related infrastructure remain inaccessible due to potential mine contamination, thereby limiting livelihood opportunities for returnee communities. Additionally, given that resettlement drives are not always in line with seasonal calendars, many returnee farmers have been unable to commence their cultivation activities and are compelled to subsist on food and beyond the initial six-month provision. Many returnees have also been constrained by the lack or loss of land and property documentation when seeking to re-commence livelihood activities. While ERI needs have increased in correlation to the rapid pace of resettlement, donor support for the sector remains limited and continues to constrain the sector’s critical work.

ERI inputs remain critical in the face of large numbers of IDPs in the North, as well as still vulnerable returnees in the East (approximately 150,940 people). While the sector will continue to prioritize the newer caseloads of returnees (i.e., those displaced in the last rounds of fighting prior to the end of the conflict), it will also extend its support to older caseloads, particularly with a view to reducing inequalities and potential intra-communal conflicts. ERI activities will continue to focus on generating quick-impact employment opportunities (e.g. cash for work), creating sustainable livelihood activities through providing grants inputs, equipment and training, and restoring critical livelihood-related infrastructure.

Logistics

The logistics cluster/sector has been actively involved in the expansion of humanitarian logistics facilities for the Vanni area including maintenance, upgrading or re-location of existing common humanitarian logistics facilities and provision of tools. The activities are synchronized with newly developed commercial or/and government networks in order to better support the logistics challenges faced in the resettlement process. The following activities were undertaken:

• Purchase of specialized trucks to increase capacity of the current fleet and increase access to areas of difficult terrain in the return areas • Support to approximately 19 humanitarian agencies providing storage and transport services at no cost in the northern regions • Lease or rental of structures, trucks and services from the commercial private sector on a competitive basis where available • Logistics Information Management and Coordination services for the Humanitarian Community. • Monitoring and tracking WFP food commodity movements using waybills and data incorporated in COMPAS (WFP Computerized Commodity Tracking System)

Transport for returning IDPs was an important aspect of the logistics cluster/sector in close coordination with IOM. IOM responded to Government requests for transportation support to facilitate a dignified return home for families. IOM worked with Government authorities to ensure that adequate prior notice and informed consent was a part of each return movement. Attention was also paid to protection considerations, such as ensuring ambulances for those with health or mobility issues were available. The following activities were undertaken:

• Coordination of requests for transportation with UN partners to ensure that proposed returns were taking place with informed consent and to areas cleared for return by demining agencies. • Rental of buses on a daily basis in response to advance notice of planned return movements from camp authorities, to transport IDPs to established transit centres. • Rental of trucks and lorries on a daily basis to transport returnees’ belongings to transit centres • Rental of tractors and buses for onward transportation of returnees, their belongings, and their food, shelter and NFIs from transit centres to homes.

Constraints and challenges faced Planning acquisitions and rebuilding of logistics tools and sites have been delayed as a result of the lack of information concerning the logistics capacities of local government authorities. Also, changing operational requirements were not always compatible with committed donor funds and the deadlines for expenditure.

Several challenges were experienced in transporting returnees to their areas of origin. In some cases, notification of return movements was insufficient to complete logistics arrangements. Also, rental agreements had to be negotiated with private bus companies, including standardized rates for mileage and for prolonged use of vehicles. Problems with use of Government-owned transportation organizations have been overcome through the use of private enterprises.

Priorities for the remainder of the year The key logistic priority for the second half of 2010 is to support the rebuilding of strategically located common humanitarian logistics sites inside the Vanni area to optimise the flow of humanitarian assistance, equipment and staff. Improvements to the logistics processes are also a priority, including through the acquisition of new sites and support tools. This will be augmented by local private operators, with the aim of strengthening cost effectiveness, cargo safety and timely delivery of services. In addition, all structures and networks will be upgraded to comply with UN Minimum Operating Safety Standards (MOSS).

38 SRI LANKA

As the returns progress, the continued provision of transport support will be crucial to resettling the remaining IDPs in a safe and dignified manner, particularly as the monsoon season approaches. Continued relationship-building with the authorities responsible for scheduling and requesting transportation for returning IDPs will contribute to better planning and greater notice periods. This in turn will assist the planning for provision of the food and non-food assistance packages, as well as subsequent recovery and development assistance for returnees.

Coordination/Security

As the resettlement of people displaced during fighting in the North has accelerated, planning, information and general coordination support needs continue to be required to support an efficient 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 safe, timely, efficient and cost-effective manner.

During the first half of 2010, OCHA worked with partners to define strategies outlined in the Humanitarian Action Plan, produced six Humanitarian Snapshots covering accomplishments and gaps in Menik Farm and the return areas, and issued 60 maps. The Who does What, Where (3W) database has been revitalized. OCHA has also supported planning to agree standard operating procedures for working in secondary transit sites and releases of ”separatees”. Working closely with the United Nations Department of Safety and Security (UNDSS) on staff security, maps of cleared return routes and released/resettled areas are produced and shared with partners. UNDSS has continued to provide security support for UN staff and the wider humanitarian community, including a review of security phases, emergency centre operations and staff counselling services.

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 the current 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 the Disaster Management Centre (DMC) are planned, including a comprehensive contingency planning exercise for the upcoming north- east monsoon season expected in October.

To define strategies to address humanitarian challenges and to ensure the basic needs of vulnerable groups are addressed, OCHA will continue to support humanitarian coordination structures UNDSS will continue to facilitate the UN Security Management Team at Colombo and district levels. OCHA will continue to closely cooperate with MoDM through liaison and information support, as well as through additional information, contingency planning and disaster preparedness support targeted at the Ministry’s DMC. Secretariat and information management assistance will continue in support of the UN Resident Coordinator/Humanitarian Coordinator (RC/HC), the United Nations Country Team (UNCT) and the Humanitarian Country Team. At the district level, OCHA field coordination officers and UNDSS security officers will provide continued support to UN focal points/area security coordinators. Efforts are underway to adjust/adapt coordination structures in line with the new post- conflict realities, with flexible coordination mechanisms to bridge humanitarian concerns with early recovery and development priorities.

OCHA will continue monitoring 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.

4. FORWARD VIEW

Beyond 2010, priorities are expected to more firmly shift from humanitarian to economic recovery and community building. In 2011, the most-likely scenario is that the majority of returns have been completed and that most families will have been supported with shelter needs, and will have access to traditional livelihoods and basic services. Reliance on food assistance — particularly if the planned inputs for the major Maha season are successful — is expected to decrease substantially. At the same time, increased support for restoration of productive sectors and markets will be emphasized in support of revitalizing the wider economy. Ongoing collaboration with State agencies as well as international financial institutions, which have begun large post-conflict assistance schemes, will be important to support economic development, investments in education, vocational training, health and nutrition. In addition, Government structures, although still requiring support and capacity, are expected to be better equipped to address ongoing assistance needs. These needs will have moved from the need for blanket provision to targeting vulnerable groups such as female-headed households, widows, separated children, elderly, disabled and the landless. During this period, close collaboration with Government and development-focused agencies will be important to assess, monitor and advocate the needs of vulnerable groups to ensure that basic needs are covered and that community reconciliation of the conflict’s root causes begin to be addressed.

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, International Organization for Migration (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. It is 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 • Prioritised response plans, including a detailed mapping of projects to cover all needs • A framework for monitoring the strategy and revising it 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 the Humanitarian Country Team. This team includes IASC members and standing invitees (UN agencies, the International Organization for Migration, the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, and NGOs that belong to ICVA, Interaction, or SCHR). 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. FTS is located at www.reliefweb.int/fts.

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