NPC Message

Annual Progress Report sums up achievements and performance of

PTCRRMP in 2011, with overall physical and financial progress from

2007 to date. Activities estimated to cost Rs. 1563 mn were earmarked in

Annual budget of the programme for 2011 in the areas of coastal resources

management, artisanal fisheries, sustainable micro-enterprise and financial

services development, social and economic infrastructure development,

Gender focus, policy support and programme management.

To keep the programme in line with the targets set, we strategically

managed situations by using our teams strength to deal with the

challenges and capture more opportunities in order to deliver programme

outputs while ensuring the quality of work and financial discipline where

value for money is guaranteed. At the same time, we adopted several

measures to ensure sustainability of the projects delivered by thePTCRRMP.

During the year under consideration, the PTCRRMP was able to implement activities costing Rs. 863Mn. in

total even though a slow progress was recorded during early months of year due to various issues and

difficulties.

PTCRRMP which commenced in 2007 is now reaching its tail end. As such, our main focus on implementation

was to work on livelihood development sector among tsunami affected communities; after having provided

them with social and economic infrastructure developments. Over 2000 beneficiaries have been selected and

around 900 loans disbursed, together with grants and necessary technical training as well.

Under civil works component, most noteworthy activity was the provision of shelter for internally displaced

people by tsunami particularly at Sainthamaruthu in Ampara. As per MTR recommendation, we initiated

construction of 100 more houses in 2011 and work is nearing completion.

We believe that the experience gained throughout this programme is valuable and will help in future projects as

well. Therefore a well thought out Knowledge Management Plan was developed and approved by IFAD to

implement KM activities in order to share our experience in PTCRRMP with interested parties.

Eventually, within the past year PTCRRMP has been sensitive to the heart beat of the nation tormented by the

natural disaster, and identified their grievances and addressed them with proper need assessments to avoiddiscriminate funds utilization and to deliver the deserving people at the right time.

I would like to express my gratitude to all stakeholders who supported us in various ways to steer the project in

the right direction.

recovery of the assets of rural households directly

or indirectly affected by the tsunami and to help

them re-establish the foundation of their usual

economic activities while diversifying into other

and new, profitable income-generating activities.

1.2. Objectives

The objectives of the programmes are as follows

lives of relatives and/ or loss of physical and

financial assets, and who are thereby particularly

challenged in restarting livelihood activities

1.4. Programme Area

The programme is being implemented in seven

districts of the island covering 566 GN Divisions in

36 Divisional Secretary Divisions (Figure 1). The

Programme will benefit an estimated

50 000 persons from as many households or about

42% of the population of the programme area.

With an average household size of 4.8 persons, the

total number of beneficiaries would be 239 300

persons. Some 2 000 households may be involved

in coastal resource management, 25 780 in the

support to artisanal fisheries, 16 450 in micro-enterprise and financial services, and 5 630

households in social and economic infrastructure.

2.3.1 District wise

With compared to the previous years, the quantity

of civil works completed during 2011 seems to be

below the expected level. This is due to limited

funds availability of the project for civil works. The

civil works funds are already over spent with

compared to the original allocations Activity wise

progress is analysed as follows (Figure 12-18).

a) I nformation dissemination and awarenesscreation

This activity is almost completed. The results of the

MTO survey indicated awareness of information

disseminated by the Programme has reached the

sample beneficiary households

b) Mangroves, salt marshes and coral r eefrehabilitation

Mangroves play a vital role in protecting coastal land

from erosion, contributing to the ecological balance

of the coastal zone as well as providing various

resources to the coastal inhabitants

The target was to replant 200,000 mangrove plants

and rehabilitate 55 ha (132 acres) of mangroves

affected by tsunami. Rather than going forward with

replanting, the Programme supported establishment

of two education centres by the CCD namely: 1.

Coastal Habitat Demonstration Site in Kalamatiya

and 2. Mangrove Information Centre in Bentota.

While the former is deleted from scope, construction

of the latter is considerably completed.

c) Coastal water qual ity moni toring

Monitoring of water quality is considered vital to

formulate policy and prevent coastal water pollution

caused mainly by bad human practices (Figure 19).

Figure 19 Water Quality monitoring

The Research and Design Division of the CCD has

completed this study and the draft report on Coastal

Water Quality Management Programme has been

submitted to the relevant authorities for their perusal.

CCD wants to continue the activity.

d) Stock assessmentThe Programme funded NARA to carry out stock

assessment surveys and prepared FMPs for South.

Studies conducted and the FMPs prepared for lobster,

sea cucumber, prawns, and chank. Studies in the

East in progress.

e) Commun ity based fi shery management plansThe Programme supported NARA and DFAR in the

formulation and implementation of community based

fisheries management plans for several specialized

fisheries such as lobster, chank and Bech dMer, sea

cucumber, shrimps in order to ensure their

sustainability. DFAR has conducted awareness

programmes based on these findings (Figure 20).

3.3. Component 2 Support to Artisanal FisheryDevelopment

The largest component of the Programme is the

Artisanal fishery Development Component. The total

allocation for this component for 2011 was Rs. Mn.

954.7. Out of this Rs. Mn 529.32 spent as at end

December 2011. All major infra-structure

development activities come under this component.

Rehabilitation of production related roads,

construction of Trincomalee fish market, construction

of landing sites and anchorages, cluster shrimp farms

in Batticaloa, AD Office and FI Offices, multi-day

boats are some of the major works being

implemented under the component. Construction of

15 landing sites and 3 anchorages is the main activity

of the Project. Twelve landing sites are already

completed while construction of two large

anchorages Nilwella (Figure 25) and Suduwella

(Figure 30).

Figure 24 Nilwella Anchorage at Matara

Figure 25 Nilwella Anchorage and facility

buildings at Matara

Two anchorages are located in Southern Matara

district of which investing more than 300 SL.Rs. Mn.

for each is also nearing completion and hope to open

by June 2012. The total investment for the completed

twelve landing sites is around SL.Rs. Mn 300 .

Landing sites have been constructed in all seven

project districts. Each landing site facilitate nearly

about 70 one day boats fitted with outboard engines.

The anchorages have facilities for anchoring

multiday boats usually length is more than 15 meters.

It is estimated that around 90 multiday boats are


26/66



seeking anchoring facilities at each Nilwella and

Suduwella anchorages currently being constructed

(Figure 30). The total number of families being

directly benefited under this activity is more than

3000 families in minimum. Usually one day boats

provide employment for two persons and a multiday

boat for 5 persons.

Figure 26 Landing site in Beruwala- Maradana,

Kalutara

Landing sites are equipped with facilities such as, net

mending halls, engine storage rooms, toilets, meeting

rooms, resting rooms, auction halls and fuel storage

facilities. The anchorages have further marine

structures such as break waters, groynes and quay

walls. We have observed that fishermen in areas of

our landing sites are getting used to this culture and

now they use facilities provided mainly engine

storage rooms (Figure 25).

UNOPS together with the Ministry and PTCRRMP

conducted participatory community meetings at each

site during the planning process.

Construction projects were also monitored by the

CFHC, MFARD, UNOPS and programme officers.

Once the constructions are completed, projects were

handed over to DFAR. DFAR prepares sustainable

implementation plans with the fisheries community

organizations and handover the management of

landing sites to community organizations often

fisheries cooperatives.

Figure 27 Fuel Storage Tank at Landing site

Kaluwankerny, Batticaloa

One of the serious challenges met by the Ministry,

DFAR and the Programme is the fuel supply for the

landing sites where constructed fuel storage tanks as

the working capital required for this activity is very

high (Figure 27). The DFAR has helped fisheries

cooperatives to purchase fuels with local authorities

and now this barrier is getting ease.

According to surveys and studies it is revealed that

fishermen are very keen about this facility and they

are very satisfied about the facilities provided which

has created a new culture for them strengthening their

social commitments (Figure 28).

DFAR has completed construction of 4 multiday

boats of which 2 boats are launched. Other 2 boats

are also almost completed and will be launched soon.

However DFAR has not done any feasibility studies

on the boats launched and therefore there is no

chance of manufacturing more boats.

3.3.1.Economic Infrastructure and AssetsRecovery

(a) I ntellectual and Traini ng Base of the FisheryI ndustry in Sri L anka - NI FNE

College of Fisheries and Nautical Engineering

(COFNE) destroyed by devastating Tsunami was one

of the cornerstones of the fisheries sector

development in the area. It has been decided that the

new COFNE will be constructed at the same site

(Nawaladi) with adequate facilities including

hostels, lecture rooms, library, fully equipped

workshops, residence/quarters and modern

infrastructure such as swimming pool, jetty etc,.

IFAD will fund the project cost estimated to be Rs.

40 m for the construction of a two storey building.

In the aftermath of the Tsunami, non-existence of

NIFNE was critically felt with the loss of experience

and skill with the demise of skilled fishers. Therefore

reconstruction of COFNE could fill this vacuum to a

certain extent and facilitate the achievement of the

objectives of Ten Year Development Plan and

Negenahira Navodaya Development Plan.


28/66



The most suitable location for this construction with

enough space, calm and quiet environment for

academic background is Nawaladi where the old

COFNE stood. Its close proximity to the sea and

lagoon provides easy access to practical training. The

location being isolated from the town and situated in

a vast expanse of land with wonderful scenic beauty

provides opportunities for future expansion required

for a reputed academic institution.

The present design has been proposed with a view to

developing to the level and status of a university

especially reserved for fisheries studies. It has been

so designed that it can withstand disasters like

Tsunami that has to be anticipated in the future. The

output from this institute will undoubtedly lead to

greater efficiency and performance in fishery

industry with minimal post harvest losses and

sustainable utilization of resources.

National Institute of Fisheries and Nautical

Engineering (NIFNE) is an institution which

conducts courses designed for imparting knowledge

on fishery industry related technology. Its courses

range from Net Mending to repairing of boat engines

and the body of the vessels. This immensely

contributes to the qualitative and quantitative

increase of the fish catch while maintaining

ecological balance in marine waters. This also helps

exploit the pool of talents of the fisher community

towards the preservation of marine resources and

reaping fish harvest methodically and scientifically

such that there will be continuity in fish stocks in the

waters.

(b)National Institute of Fisheries and NauticalEngineering (NIFNE)

The National Institute of Fisheries and Nautical

Engineering (NIFNE) has had the legal acceptance

through the Act No 36 of 1999 enacted by the

Parliament. It is the only institute under the MFAR

which is responsible for formulating and conducting

the training and educational programmes to develop

the human resource base and fisher skills. Eight

regional colleges located around the coast (i.e.,

Mattakkuliya, Kalutara, Galle, Tangalle, Batticaloa,

Trincomalee, Jaffna and Negombo) are coherently

linked with the head office of NIFNE located in

Colombo to improve the skills and knowledge of the

fisher community through conducting three types of

vocational training courses such as diploma,

certificate and mobile training. In addition, two

degree programmes on Fisheries and Marine Science

and Marine Engineering are conducted under the

concept of Sagara Vishwavidyalaya for capacity

building in order to develop an effective and

sustainable utilization of marine resources.

(c) Sagara Vi shwavidyalayaSagara Vishwavidyalaya, or the Ocean University

was established in 1999 under NIFNE, recognizing

the importance of human resource development in the

fisheries sector and marine science to national

economy. Two degree programmes namely B.Sc

Degree in Fisheries and Marine Science (General and

Special), B.Sc in Marine Engineering (Special) are

being conducted at present at the Sagara Vishwa

Vidyalaya.

The main objectives of the reconstruction of COFNE

complex are;To provide sufficient space and facilities


29/66



for training and education in fisheries industry and

marine science and nautical engineering for

sustainable utilization of fisheries and marine aquatic

resources To introduce the logistics for training

fishers which increase the number of skilled persons

engaged in fisheries industry;

To introduce the use of modern equipments and new

technology for fishing and related industries in order

to increase the fin fish and shell fish production

Utilize the resources with least damage to the

environment through application of Best

Management Practices (BMP)

To improve the quality and safety standards of fresh

fish through the training on better fish handling

practices

Figure 31 Proposed Model of Trincomalee Fish

Market

The Wholesale Fish Market in Trincomalee was

badly damaged by the Tsunami in December, 2004. It

functioned way below the expected levels with lack

of even basic facilities like water, sanitation,

electricity etc (Figure 34). PTCRRMP rightly

identified the need for the reconstruction of this Fish

Market and offered to provide financial assistance for

this purpose. This Fish Market which stands in

Trincomalee town is a milestone in the post tsunami

and post war development of the Eastern Province. It

is an important link in the overall development in the

region.

Figure 32 Trincomalee Fish Market underconstruction

The fisheries sector in Sri Lanka suffered a huge

setback following immeasurable damage caused to

the fishing gear and infrastructure in addition to the

massive loss of life and property. Concerted efforts

by the local and international community brought

back normalcy to life in a short time, but it took a

long time for fishermen to come to terms with thedevastation.

Figure 33 Unloading Fish at a Landing Centre


30/66



Figure 34 Retail Fish Purchases by Lower Income

Groups

Figure 35 Wholesale Business at the old Market

Fish vendors still used the old, dilapidated building

for fish trading with no electricity, water and other

sanitary standards required for food related industries

(Figure 35). Therefore, in keeping with the modern,

international trends and environmental regulations on

food hygiene, the design for the new fish market had

proper loading and unloading facilities (Figure 33),waste water and effluent treatment system, storm

water drainage system, means for systematic

cleaning, clean stalls and office rooms and cold

storage facility incorporated in it (Figure 31).

The total investment for construction of the new fish

market is 100 M Rupees (Figure 32).

3.4. Component 3 Micro Enterprises and

Financial Services Development

In order to support and rehabilitate the Tsunami

affected people, many government, non government

and private sector organizations took many

endeavours to reinstate them. Being part of the

intervention the PTCRRMP implemented Micro-

Enterprise development programme and provided

financial services to develop their livelihood in a

sustainable manner.

Altogether there are 2,183 beneficiaries registered

under the programme fulfilling the requirements

imposed by the MED Programme (Figure 36 &

Figure 37). (Annex A). It was a pre identified

requirement to provide 75% of the total benefits for

the women participants considering the gender equity

according to the Sri Lankan context. The programme

has taken necessary measures to fulfil this

requirement. Composition of number of beneficiaries

selected by December 2011 is as follows.

Figure 36 Registered Beneficiaries Percentage

(%)


31/66



Figure 37 Registered Beneficiaries Gender Wise

It is clear that only the Batticaloa regions progress is

laying behind others regions progress. Ampara,

Matara and Hambantota leads in penetration of the

project towards the local beneficiaries.

It is clear that the Kalutara, Batticaloa and the

Trincomalee districts have reached the above need of

gender consideration of the participants already.

It has been referred 1,679 beneficiaries from entire

programme region to obtain the registration at the

Central Bank of Sri Lanka (CBSL) prior to receiving

grants and 1,320 have already registered. Out of them

871 are eligible to obtain the grants and 322 have

successfully received amounting to a total of Rs.

5,581,500/-. This is a considerable success rate

compared with the proceedings of the entire

programme. On the other hand if any one disqualifies

to receive the grants from CBSL out of the above

category, they will be guided to the Womens banks

established in the village level to facilitate themaccordingly.

1,901 beneficiaries have successfully undergone the

entrepreneurship development training programmes

incorporating the adult training methodology in entire

districts and they were enabled to prepare business

plans for their future businesses in a more viable and

sustainable manner.

For the beneficiaries who already have undergone the

above entrepreneurship training will be provided the

training on technical skills training programmes to

improve their technical skills related to their business

needs (Figure 39). And 154 beneficiaries already

have been benefited through this training programme.The total cost expenditure on this technical training

was recorded to a total sum of Rs. 407,760/-.

Figure 39 Technical training held at NationalDesign Centre Ministry of Traditional Industries

and Small Enterprises Development

Ministry of Traditional Industries and Small

Enterprises Development

Yet the Social Mobilization training programmes are

to be conducted and these beneficiaries are expected

to be strengthening more towards keeping the success

levels within the dynamic and competitive

environment potentially arise in the future conditions.

Figure 40 Mrs. Nandani Warusawithana with her

Handicrafts products Galagoda, Hikkaduwa

It is also a requirement to form the clusters among

the similar kind of business ventures out of these

selected beneficiaries, to benefit them in a collective

manner as a team in the future. This will be much

helpful in the case of problematic situations that may

arise and create inevitable circumstances for the

entire industry, to come out as collective unit and

make strategic decisions. 43 clusters have been

already formed among the beneficiaries and they are

functioning very well at the current scenario (Figure

38).


34/66



Further 192 small business groups have formed for

the micro level businesses to help functioning

smoothly considering the same facts highlighted

above.

Figure 41 Composition of the Clusters

As shown above (Figure 40) the Coir industry, Fish

based products (Figure 42), Garment Industry, and

Poultry farming shows higher percentages of theclusters that have been already formed. While the

Dry fish/ Maldive fish (Figure 43), Agriculture sector

and Food products clusters show the secondary level

success percentages. And Goat farming, dairy

products, Animal husbandry and Handicrafts sector

shows the low level percentage of success to date.

But there are many other clusters being formed and

they have a better chance to compete with these

clusters as the programme proceeds (Figure 40).

PTCRRMP together with UNOPS have planned to

construct seven sales outlets in respective districts to

market their Products and Services. The estimated

amount is around Rs. 20 million for this aspect.

Some photographs taken during the field visits for

individual business premises for programme

activities are shown below (Figure 44 - Figure 46):

3.4.1. Micro Enterprises Developments

The programme designed with and overall package

of Micro enterprise Development that consist of

financing of product and business advancement

,adopting appropriate technology and link with

profitable market. Therefore, this will be a great

opportunity that the Tsunami -affected women will

receive to develop their income status and hence an

impact on their upward social mobility.

The Programme targeted poor rural women and

men in tsunami affected communities in the

programme area. Self-targeting will be achieved

by the type and size of support (size of enterprise,

loan ceilings, etc.) and through participatory

assessments. The programme identity potential

income generating opportunities in both the

fisheries sector it self, fishery related activities and

non fishery activities in the district by obtaining

services from the qualified service providers. The

volume of loans to be covered by credit scheme

would amount to LKR 175.This Program selected

banks as the participatory financial institutions to

expedite the loan disbursement.

3.4.2.Technical training forbeneficiaries

The programme reinforced the income base of the

enterprises through focusing the business

management training coupled with the technical

and marketing aspects. To cater for more

sophisticated and larger markets through these

enterprises, the Business Development Services

providers already identified should be enabled to

create clusters of enterprises which wanted to

develop similar products and markets for more

success.

3.4.3.Baseline Survey for MicroEnterprises Development

Programme

The Base line survey was completed to understand

the prevailing situation of selected beneficiaries

with the view of planning and implementing most

suitable intervenes in terms of improving their

living conditions

Micro-enterprises are a vital part of the economic

and social structure and contribute to balanced

regional development. The sector represents 75-

85% of all enterprises, provides jobs to 20-40% ofthe total labour force in Sri Lanka and produces

about 15 - 20% of total output. Even though the

cost of creating employment in micro- and small

enterprises is relatively low, the income level

obtained from micro-enterprises is also low. About

30% of the enterprise owners have incomes below

the poverty line because they are in low entry/low

profit activities. Workers, in majority women are

poor and have less formal education than their

colleagues in larger enterprises. The output of the

small scale sector can often not compete with

trade-marked products of larger enterprises but

price-wise they often cater for the essential demand

of poorer households. Achieved progress during

2011 shows in disbursement of loans, grants,

technical training and clusters found in the

programme area (Table 8).

3.5. Component 4 Social and EconomicInfrastructure

The Programme provided support to the tsunami-

affected communities to reconstruct housing and

infrastructure with the partnership of local

authorities. The Programme, therefore, supported

the affected communities to return to their

normalcy.

As financial and physical progress are concerned,

this component shows the highest progress as it is

anticipated that the activities are completed. A

large amount of community infrastructuredevelopment work (drainage, retention wall,

internal roads, drinking water supply, sanitation

and sewerage, solid waste disposal, street lights,

community centres, pre-school day-care centres,

etc.) has been completed under this component,

which includes the allocations of PTLivSPP as well

(Figure 47).

a) Housing

Under housing, 784 new houses collaborating with

NHDA have been constructed. In addition, topping

up grants to construct houses have been received

by 442 households (Figure 49). Financial supportto repair 30 houses, 21 roofs, and 44 doors and

windows has also been given. The allocations have

been used for owner driven construction.

Construction of 100 new houses in Ampara district

on the recommendations of the 2011 supervision

mission currently being implemented.

Owner driven method in housing and communitycontribution in most activities is a speciality in

PTCRRMP. People are more interested of what

they have been provided with. Beneficiary

satisfaction is high since people feel their

ownership when participatory approach used

(Figure 50). this helps in sustainability of thedeliverables even.

b) Other inf rastructure

Under this sub-component the Programme assisted

construction and re-establishment of various social

and economic infrastructures of the people affected

by tsunami. The activities include internal roads,

bridges, drainage, retaining walls, drinking water

supply, sanitation and sewerage, solid waste

disposal, street lights, community centres, pre-

school day-care centres, etc.

The results of the MTO survey indicated that

households have benefited from rural roads,community drinking water, multipurpose

community building, fisheries bank building,

supply of electricity, establishment of Children

Park, retaining walls, drainage system, electricity,

etc (Figure 54).

3.6. Component 5 Gender, PolicySupport and Programme

Management

3.6.1.Gender, Policy Support

Figure 55 Gender, Policy Support and

Programme

Women, in particular continue to be

disproportionately affected unless their vulnerablestatus is acknowledged, understood and addressed.

Relief efforts must aim to specifically respond to

and address womens needs. Economic insecurity,

the gendered division of domestic labour,

reproductive and health differences, exposure to

violence, disparate educational and social

opportunities, and secondary political status

combine to put women at a higher risk, particularly

those that support households alone, the aged and

disabled and those marginalised by social class,

caste or religion.

The objective of the Programme is to achieve a

situation which women in tsunami affected areas

have recovered their physical and financial assets,

have re-established their economic activities while

diversifying them in other and more profitable

income generating activities (Figure 55).

Gender relationships open up opportunity for

reducing the poverty levels of households. The

women in MED Programme have made for

strengthening promotion of women savings andcredit for economic empowerment, link with the

Sri Lanka Women Development Service

Cooperative Society (WBCC). They are

strengthening 34 women Bank branches in 7

districts, Training the relevant women members in

leadership, basic accounting and management &

any other identified sectors.

Mobilizing and capacitating at least 3400 womens

in 7 districts in savings, micro investments & credit

culture, leadership and management improving

access to micro credit by developing their own

(Figure 56).

enterprises including marginalized women from a

gender perspective.

3.6.2.Programme Management

During the year under consideration we have

adopted several management strategies to ensure

smooth functioning of programme implementation.

This is discussed in following aspects.

Cash fl ow Problems

At one stage the project had serious cash flow

problems and there was a little money to settle

payments to the contractors and meet other

commitments. Withdrawal Applications were used

to send every two months.

It took a long time to process withdrawals since

then. Therefore our approach was to reduce the

processing time of withdrawals to ensure smooth

cash flow situation.

In this contextduring the year our strategy was to

send at least 2 applications per month to pick up

the backlog created up to mid of 2nd quarter of

2011. This worked well with the commitment of all

the staff members involved.

During the year 2011, we have submitted 21

Withdrawal Applications (WAs) to IFAD amount

to USD 5.2Mn. of which only 2 WA were

outstanding by December 2011 (Table 11).

The expenditure during the period spread into two

periods; Jan to May 2011 & June to December

2011. The relevant expenditure during the two

periods are Rs.117Mn & Rs.746Mn respectively.

Training

It is our view that skill development and

specialized training are closely linked to the

successful implementation of any programme.

Taking this into consideration, almost the entire

staffs in the project was given some kind of

training related to their field of specialization.

Training given to staff covered the area of project

& programme Impact Assessment, Project

Budgeting & Cost Control, Contract Management

& Disbursement Monitoring, Results Based

Management Implementation & Performance

Indicators, Procurement of Good & Services

Planning, Procurement of Goods & Services,

Advanced Purchasing Skills, Knowledge

Management, Monitoring & Evaluation and GIS.

This has paid dividends in terms of performance

and achievement of targets.

o Outsourcing Technical Officers for

Quality Assurance of Civil Works

To ensure the QA of civil works, programme hired

technical officers on the approval of SIS mission

2011. Most of the civil construction works of the

project were undertaken by implementing agencies

such as local government bodies, RDA, etc.

Supervision of these constructions was made by the

technical officers of the respective agencies.

Supervision was lax in many respects. Therefore

with the approval of mission 2011 PTCRRMP

recruited technical officers for the districts on

contract basis and from then onwards we have

witnessed a remarkable improvement in the quality


42/66



of the work. Delays in the implementation have

also been minimized. Therefore, this strategy has

worked well for the advancement of the project.

o

Outsourcing CDOs to Expedite theMED Programme

Gender, Micro Enterprise and Rural Financial

Development manager has to deal with banks,

financial institutions, beneficiaries, service

providers and stake holders in the scope of work

assigned to him. Therefore, to avoid delays in the

selection and processing of loans, CDOs were

recruited to all district offices following anapproval from the mission 2011. The component

of micro enterprise development and gender related

activities have seen a remarkable progress since

then.

As a result of applying this strategy the programme

could accelerate the number of loans endowed

from June which was slow in progress, inter alia

we 850 loans granted from June to December 2011.

Field Visits

Senior Managers along with the manager in charge

in relevant district have made field visits for

observations and third party opinion on the

progress and other issues. This too has had an

influence on the contractors and service providers

and prompted them to speed up and complete the

works maintain quality standards.

3.6.3.Geographic Information System - Use tothe Programme

As a tool of data management and information

management GIS was applied to the project

particularly for data management and decision

making.

For this purpose, a consultant was procured to

design, develop, and installed a spatial database.

This GIS data base provides ongoing support for

process monitoring of project activities.

This database also enable store data in form of

Photos, Video Clips, and other statistical means for

easy navigation of project interventions. It also

includes locations and all relevant data of Micro

Enterprises Beneficiaries selected from each

District.

To utilize data and information in an effective way,

and to make easy to help in decision supporting for

the management, the staff was trained on GIS and

applications. This was already done from the Post

Graduated Institute of Science of University of

Peradeniya, Sri Lanka. Further, all relevant

trainings for the customized spatial database is

being done by the consultant for all project staff.

3.6.4.Knowledge Management

The PTCRRMP and PTLivSPP have gained a lot of

first hand experiences in different contexts with

different partners. The PTLivSPP is already

completed and therefore the project experiences

should now be recorded for sharing with other

communities. The PTCRRMP is still to continue

and gain more experience in a wide range of

implementation of project activities. At this stage,

it is very important to formulate a system to

capture, analyse, and store data, producing KM

materials and sharing knowledge with other

partners. This will help to perform better in our

future project activities empowering the rural poor

fisheries communities.

In PTCRRMP we have conducted radio

programmes, TV programmes, Newsletters, News


43/66



paper articles, exhibits, brochures, display boards,

posters, reports and many things to disseminate the

knowledge.

It is also observed that there is a large amount oftacit knowledge is kept with our project

beneficiaries who are positively affected for their

interventions. These experiences are useful for

other project as well as the
