I. Executive Summary / Background

Sri Lanka has been embroiled in a civil conflict between the Government of Sri Lanka (GoSL) and theLiberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) since 1983. It is estimated that the conflict has killed morethan 70,000 people; displaced over 700,000; and detrimentally affected the entire population,particularly in the North and East of Sri Lanka.

After a lull in the long-running civil conflict during the post-Tsunami period, renewed fighting ignited InApril 2006. The political and security situation continued to deteriorate in 2007 with regular hostilitiestaking place in 8 out of 25 Sri Lanka's districts. During 2007, the country saw the highest levels ofdisplacement in five years.1

Following fighting, which lead to the closure of the main A9 route into Jaffna in August 2006, some50,000 people were displaced from their homes in Jaffna. Given the isolation of the peninsula,shortages of food and medicine quickly became acute and the ability to engage in any form oflivelihood was severely compromised. While hardship continued in Jaffna, an intensive aerialbombardment campaign made Batticaloa the next center of displacement. In mid January, the SriLankan Army (SLA) captured Vakarai, on the coastline road north of Batticaloa, after which fightingextended to the western part of the District. Intense fighting in the Spring, displaced an estimated155,000 people within the Batticaloa district alone, pushing the total number of IDPs in Sri Lanka toover 300,000.

By mid year, the Government had consolidated gains in the Trincomalee and Batticaloa Districts andafter taking the remaining stronghold of Thoppigala, declared victory in the East. With the end to openhostilities in eastern Sri Lanka, the Government quickly initiated a return process for IDPs fromVakarai and Trincomalee. A host of humanitarian and protection concerns ranging from continuedinsecurity from mines and remaining pockets of fighting; inadequate shelter and food provisions;limited access to water supply and basic services; and severely restricted livelihood opportunitieswere associated with the returns. At the same time, paramilitary activities - mainly attributed to theKaruna faction2 were generating widespread fear and insecurity. Activities linked to Karuna includeddisappearances, forced recruitment, extortion and theft of relief supplies.

The multiple battle fronts and moving confrontation lines in the North and the East, createdwidespread instability and significant humanitarian needs throughout the year. The Jaffna peninsulacontinued to suffer severe shortages of food and basic supplies due to the closure of the main north-south road onto the peninsula. Access for staff and humanitarian supplies first to Jaffna then to theLTTE-controlled areas in the East, was periodically restricted or blocked. Strict controls on theimportation of construction materials to affected districts created additional difficulties in programmeimplementation.

To address urgent needs of populations, the UN Country Team appealed for CERF funding on 2separate occasions in 2007. The first CERF request was made in February 2007 and focused bothon the large-scale displacement in eastern Sri Lanka and the urgent needs for the population

1 301,764 in April 2007, Ministry of Nation Building and UNHCR statistics2 Colonel Karuna broke away from the LTTE in 2004 and established the TMVP (Tamil Makkal Viduthaiai Pulikal), based inBatticaloa, which functioned as a paramilitary force.6 Each unit is comprised of 4 toilets.

displaced in Jaffna at the end of 2006. Sectors covered by the February/March allocation includedprotection, shelter, water and sanitation, health, food, agriculture and security and totaled US$9,313,444. A second, smaller allocation in the amount of US$ 1,942,952 was granted in September2007 and provided urgently needed funds to address protection, shelter and food security needsassociated both with the rapidly evolving return process in the East. In addition to the two 2007CERF requests, funding approved in 2006 for air service operation was allocated in January 2007.

To address severe food shortages in the North and to avert a crisis during the escalating conflict inthe East, food assistance for IDPs and other vulnerable groups was a priority for the Spring 2007application. Food assessments indicated that in many of the conflict-affected areas, virtually theentire population's food security was compromised due to displacement, severe disruption oflivelihoods and drastic price increases. Severely limited access to seeds and fertilizers and theconsequent harvest reduction, made farmers particularly vulnerable. In addition, a ban on deep-seafishing combined with the inability to access outside markets, further compromised food security forthousands dependent of fishing livelihoods.

While food assistance was needed to address the most pressing food needs during displacement, ashortage of quality crop seeds, pesticides and fertilizers combined with drought conditions in theNorth also threatened longer-term food security. Further, agricultural and livestock activities in Jaffnahad been compromised by a cash flow deficits, over-use of natural resources and insufficient suppliesof veterinary drugs and vaccines. Support to resume local food production for the Yala plantingseason in April assisted in reducing large-scale dependency on unsustainable levels of food aid forpopulations displaced at the end of 2006. Similarly, time-critical inputs to meet the second plantingseason were important in addressing food security for over 100,000 people returning to their homesin Batticaloa and Trincomalee during the second half of the year.

Shelter was also a priority concern throughout the different phases of conflict during 2007, first toensure adequate shelter for IDPs in Jaffna, then, to provide temporary shelter as fighting escalated inBatticaloa and later as returns got underway in the East. CERF funds provided for the capacityneeded to prepare sites, erect shelters and address non food needs in over 200 sites. The secondround of funding also supported urgent repairs and refurbishment of welfare centers prior to the year-end monsoon, averting potential health risks associated with inadequate shelter.

As in the shelter sector, multiple displacements placed considerable strain on existing water andsanitation services for displaced and hosting communities in the North and East. The need for urgentwater and situation intervention was particularly acute during the height of displacement in Marchwhen many IDP locations were congested and the risk of diseases such as diarrheas, hepatitis,dengue, chickengunya, leptospirosis and rabies, etc. was particularly high. CERF resources wereused to establish safe water sources, build washing facilities, construct latrines and supportcommunity managed drainage and solid waste disposal systems.

Complementary health interventions were also a important during the first part of the year. Healthpriorities focused on reducing the risk of communicable diseases outbreaks and addressingimmediate public and reproductive health needs of vulnerable displaced and isolated communities inBatticaloa and Trincomalee as well as critical needs in Kilinochchi, Mannar and Vavuniya. Mobileclinics, provision of essential drugs, supplies and bed nets, combined with health awarenesscampaigns formed the main health inputs.

Access constraints combined with the volatile security environment created significant constraints formovement of staff and goods and also increased safety concerns for humanitarian workers. Giventhe ongoing closure of land access to Jaffna, funds approved in 2006 but allocated in January 2007supported air services to transport relief supplies as well as humanitarian workers. UN HumanitarianAir Service (UNHAS) was'also available to facilitate assessments and undertake medical/securityevacuations as required. The first flight from Colombo to Jaffna was on 4th January 2007 andcontinued on a bi-weekly basis through March 2007, flying 436 passengers and 56 metric tonnes ofhumanitarian cargo moved between Colombo and Jaffna. February CERF funds also provided forincreased security capacity to reinforce civil-military coordination with the government, train field staff,and analyze and report on the security situation.

II. Coordination and Partnership-building

(a) Decision-making process to decide allocation: As the situation continued to deteriorateduring the first months of 2007, the Resident/Humanitarian Coordinator, with the support ofOCHA, led a process to review priorities to respond to the most critical needs of populationsin the North displaced at the end of 2006 as well as in the East, where fighting wasdisplacing tens of thousands of people and creating urgent life-threatening needs there. Withsupport from sector leads, which facilitated the initial Common Humanitarian Action Plan(CHAP) in September 2006, priorities were identified in protection, shelter, WASH, food,health, agriculture, security and logistics. Both local and international NGOs were includedin the process as members of the sectors.

(b) Coordination amongst the humanitarian country team: Priorities were identified throughthe Inter-agency Standing Committee (IASC) coordination framework, which includesinteragency and sector coordination between UN, NGO and donors. Strong linkagesbetween the IASC and Government-led Consultative Committee on Humanitarian Affairs(CCHA) facilitated wider collaboration with Government authorities, as well as provided aforum for lobbying on key issues such as humanitarian access, safety and security andprotection of displaced populations. Several meetings, chaired by the Resident/HumanitarianCoordinator included participation from Sector Leads and heads of agencies. District-levelworking groups were proactive in identifying needs and gaps, while the IASC at the Colombo-level provided the platform for regular information sharing, lobbying efforts and decisionmaking.

(c) Partnerships: Under the guidance of Sector Leads, sector priorities were formulated withpartner agencies. At the same time, roles and responsibilities of implementing partners weredelineated to ensure effective and timely use of CERF allocations. A simple monitoringsystem was developed to keep agencies abreast of updates and developments. The inter-agency coordination framework addressed various structural problems and assisted inreducing confusion related to questions on a variety of issues including the operationalenvironment, staff workloads, adjustment of financial requirements and project deliverables.Operational challenges, often beyond the control of agencies, slowed project implementationat times, although good information sharing and joint advocacy through the IASC and theCCHA assisted to some extent, in unblocking problematic access and material constraints.

Key partnerships of the Sector Level included:

Health: WHO partnered with UNFPA, IOM, Sewalanka, and World Vision Lanka to providereliable, quality, life-saving health care services and emergency supplies to IDPs, including inmany hard-to-reach areas. CERF funds facilitated collaboration between UN agencies andNGOs and assisted in building trust between healthcare providers the IDPs and hostcommunities served.

Food: WFP worked closely with its man implementing partner, the Ministry of Nation Buildingto ensure food aid reached vulnerable communities. Strong partnership with thegovernment's district monitoring unit and multi purpose cooperative societies (MPCS)facilitated delivery and monitoring of assistance.

Protection: Monitoring, legal aid, human rights awareness raising and civil documentationwere carried out by UNHCR in collaboration with protection and shelter implementingpartners NRC, DRC, Human Rights Commission, Non Violent Piece force Sri Lanka.

WASH: UNICEF in partnership with ACTED, ASIA, ASM, IRD and SOLIDAR installedemergency latrines, provided safe water and hygiene kits, implemented camp drainageoperations.

Agriculture: UNDP and FAO together with partners including the Department of Agriculture,World Vision, Sarvodaya, Patchali Pallai, and Development Rehabilitation Organizationsupplied agricultural inputs including seeds, fertilizer and tools to conflict affected farmingfamilies in the East.

Logistics: UNHAS, in partnership with GOSL and EXPO aviation Pvt. Ltd. assistedprogramme implementations by organizing regular flights to the North & East. Guidance andsupport for UNHAS operations was provided by the interagency working group comprised of:

Security UNDSS, worked closely with the UN Resident /Humanitarian Coordinator and theUN Security Management Team (SMT) to assess and mitigate safety and security.

(d) Prioritization process: Priorities were agreed first through IASC sector working groups andsubsequently through additional consultation with the UNCT. OCHA provided technicalguidance on the use of CERF and its linkage to CHAP. Projects addressing immediate lifesaving needs were prioritized (protection, shelter, health, water and sanitation). Given largescale food dependency and windows of opportunity with the Yala planting season in April andMaha in September, agriculture inputs to improve food security were prioritized during bothCERF rounds. Common services in particular security and air transport, essential to supportthe delivery of humanitarian assistance were also given due consideration.

III. Implementation and Results

Rapid Response projects

"* How did CERF funding enable prompt, early action to respond to life-saving needs andtime critical requirements? Please explain briefly.

Sri Lanka received CERF funds through the rapid response window. These funds facilitated thestart-up of critical activities and life-saving services to conflict-affected populations while alsoaddressing food self-reliance during the critical planting seasons in the Spring and the Fall.CERF funding assisted in kick-starting priority CHAP projects, in particular those with a time-critical window of operation, including in the protection, shelter, health, water and sanitationsectors. Given the difficult operational environment, critical security capacity as well astransportation services were included in order to address operational limitations. Allocation ofCERF funds facilitated collaboration in most sectors, both in terms of prioritization and reinforcingoperational partnerships. Given the rapidly deteriorating humanitarian situation, CERF allowedrapid response, pending release of additional funds for other CHAP projects.

(a) How was the monitoring and evaluation of the CERF projects conducted?

Projects were monitored by the implementing agencies' programme managers and staff inboth Colombo and at the field level through regular visits to project locations. Periodicmeetings were held with sector leads and implementing agencies to discuss issues andprogress. Projects were also monitored and reported on as part of the overall CHAPprocess.

(b) How did other initiatives complement the CERF-funded projects?

Funding channeled through various UN agencies and other agencies such as ICRC, BelgiumRed Cross, Oxfam, WVI Canada, Caritas, DRC, Zoa, Care etc. Donors such as EuropeanUnion, World Bank and the Asian Development Bank also provided funding for variouscomplementary projects.

IV. Lessons learned

To support better preparation of CERF applications, increased awareness of CERF conditionsand requirements is needed. CERF missions / trainings to assist field offices in gaining hands-on experience and facilitating dialogue and understanding with the CERF Secretariat would bewelcomed. In particular, additional guidance is needed on establishing selection andperformance criteria. Awareness-raising with donors, particularly on CERF as a complementary(versus replacement) funding support would also be beneficial. Clarification is also needed onconditions and process for no-cost extensions.

The three-month implementation window was a constraint in Sri Lanka, particularly because of thevolatile security situation and its impact on project implementation. Restricted access to IDPs inLTTE-controlled areas hampered delivery and monitoring of emergency humanitarian aid in manysectors. Similarly, closure of roads, security constraints as well as strict checkpoint proceduresslowed assessments, in particular in the health sector and also made transport dispatchesproblematic. Planned air operations also encountered various problems and bureaucratic hurdles dueto the dual civilian / military nature of the Jaffna airport.

V. CERF IN ACTION

Food sector

Walking to a WFP food distribution point has been a part ofNageswaran Puvaneswary (Puvane's) routine over the last fewyears. During the daily 3 kilometer trek, Puvane and herneighbors were careful to stick to the path as the area had notbeen fully cleared of mines.

Puvane was first displaced by the tsunami in 2004 and thenagain in 2006, when the 65 year old woman fled some 60kilometers from Trincomalee to the relative safety ofBatticaloa.

Puvanes's husband is a lagoon fisherman. Before he was displaced, a good night's fishing wouldbring in up to 1500 rupees. With fishing restrictions imposed as a result of the conflict, his dailyincome was reduced to no more than 200 rupees. Although, he clearly does not want to bedependent on aid, he is grateful for the WFP food ration, which ensured that his family had twomeals a day, while they were displaced.

CERF contributions enabled WFP to provide basic foodrations to 357,339 (177,240 Male and 180,099 Female) Ibeneficiaries including IDPs, returnees and economically (fv

affected people.

During 2007, WFP distributed over 24,000 tons of foodcommodities in Kilinochchi, Mullaitivu, Jaffna, Mannar,Vavuniya, Trincomalee, Batticaloa and Ampara.

Protection sector

UNHCR coordinates protection and shelter assistance fordisplaced families in Sri Lanka. During 2007, protectionmonitoring benefited returnees, IDPs and civilians in theEastern Province of Sri Lanka (Trincomalee, Batticaloa district),as well as in the North (Kilinochchi, Mullathivu, Mannar andVavuniya). Focus areas include facilitating freedom ofmovement, registration, security of IDPs, protection fromforcible recruitment and prevention of human rights abuses.These activities are essential to creating a secure environmentboth during displacement and upon return to places of origin.

Shelter sector

Sri Lankan singer: from displaced personto superstar....Sasiskaran is a popular singer from EasternSri Lanka. What is extraordinary aboutSasikaran is that he not only beat 5,000others to win a nationwide talent show, butthat he was an internally displaced person(IDP) when he became a music idol.Although he has never had any formal musiceducation, the 27-year-old Sasiskaran, wonthe "Shakti TV Superstar" competitionbroadcast by a Tamil-language televisionstation last year. He has since returnedfrom Trincomalee to Batticaloa, joining anestimated 176,000 of IDPs who have goneback to their villages of origin under theGovernment-facilitated programme for theEast, which is monitored by UNHCR. He nowenjoys peace in his house in the company offamily and neighbors.

Hope and Home - In the footsteps of a returnee in Sri Lanka's conflict-affected East"It's difficult to believe that we are finally standing inside our very own house," says a smiling A. A.Mohommed, carrying his two-year-old son. "My boys will finally have a proper home." Forty year oldMohommed's relief and happiness is shared by his wife, Siththi Masaira. As she walks into their newhome with their three other sons in tow, she opens the windows to let out the warm Trincomalee airthat was trapped inside the house.

Their new home is situated in Muthunagar,an area located 15 km away fromTrincomalee town and the site of UNHCR'slatest resettlement programme in the district.Implemented by local partner the RuralDevelopment Foundation, the schemeassisted 178 families who had been livingwith host families. Mohommed's family hasnow left the ranks of an estimated 450,000people who have been forced to flee theirhomes as a result of fighting between thegovernment forces and the Liberation Tigersof Tamil Ealam (LITE) in Sri Lanka's Northand East.

Nallathampy Rajeswary, 47, is a widow with twochildren: a daughter and a son. After herhusband was killed by unknown men and hereldest daughter died unexpectedly, she was leftto support for her remaining two young children.Although she had been able to buy a sewingmachine with the help of a local NGO, the incomeshe generated was unable to meet even the mostbaisc needs of her children.

Then the conflict forced Nallathampy to flee withher children, leaving almost all of their belongingsbehind. After temporarily seeking shelter in anIDP camp, they returned home. Dependent onlimited government assistance, with their assetsgone, they faced a bleak future. Nallathampywas identified as a beneficiary under the FAOfood security project and provided with 10 chicks,starter mash, and the training needed to startbackyard poultry rearing. 'This assistance gaveme the hope that I badly needed, after having losteverything", she said. "The training also gave meconfidence which has helped me to make themost out of this opportunity. I am now earningenough to feed my children, which is what ismost important to me."

Before the conflict, Mr. Sivanesan earned a livingfrom canoe fishing in the Batticaloa lagoon. As theconflict escalated during December 2006, he fledwith with wife and four children and sought shelterin an IDP camp.

After 7 months in the camp, they returned home,only to find all his fishing gear and boat gone. "Mywife and four children depend only on me, and Ihad no way to support and feed them. We were ina desperate situation, but I was determined not tolet them starve", he said. Identified as abeneficiary under the FAO food security project, hewas provided with maize seed and fertilizer, alongwith technical advice from the local authorities.Two and a half months after receiving theassistance, Arumugam harvested his maize. "Ireceived 15,000 Rupees from selling this maize,

Health sector

In 2007, with CERFfunding, WHO togetherwith partner, Sewa LankaFoundation provided basicmedical supplies andpublic health interventionsfor IDPs and hostcommunities in the Jaffnadistrict. This timely,systematic interventionassisted in preventingavoidable morbidity andmortality.

The health project benefited a total of 30,000people during the period from May to July 2007.Targeting the Jaffna district, activities includedmobile clinics providing primary health care forIDP along with health education on chikungunya,dengue, rabies and protein deficiency.

The project helped to improve water sanitationfacilities and waste management as well asvector control - in health facilities such as PointPedro, which included 575 direct and 2,350indirect beneficiaries. The project also suppliedwater to 4 welfare centres, benefiting 1,850families. In addition, trauma training for medicalstaff, youth empowerment and confidencebuilding training were provided. Medical supplieswere also provided for the Department of PDHS

WASH sector

Portable and Re-usable Toilet for Emergency Sanitation Response

In response to the escalating conflict, UNICEF Sri Lanka together with partners developed a portableand collapsible superstructure design, comprised of sections of galvanized iron piping. The structurecan be assembled in about 20 minutes. In partnership with the international NGO "ACTED", UNICEFalso developed a portable septic tank using waterproof plywood and polythene sheets to addresschallenges posed by high groundwater levels and open wells. Using this methodology, the WASHsector was able to provide sanitation facilities in camps within 24 to 72 hours.

The portable latrines were centrallymanufactured in Colombo and distributedisland-wide to 100 temporary centers fromJanuary to April 2007 and benefitedapproximately 100,000 people. This portabletoilet was easy to transport and construct andprovided culturally appropriate sanitationfacilities for a large number of people. Theadvantages of the collapsible toilets in theemergency setting included:

• They are hygienic, easy to clean and safe touse.

• The materials can withstand strong windand rain.

• The toilets are easily accessible to children,pregnant women, elderly and disabledpersons.

• Toilets are easily decommissioned and recycled without environmental damage.

In 2007, CERF funding provided for 278 portable toiletunits6 in four conflict affected districts.

Practical training sessions on the installation of theportable toilet were conducted in all the affecteddistricts.

Construction of portable toilet units took place at IDPcamp locations in Mannar-South FDL, Mannar-NorthFDL and Batticaloa Districts.
