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 the PTCRRMP. 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 avoid discriminate 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.

b) Mangroves, salt marshes and coral reef rehabilitation
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 Research and Design Division of the CCD has completed this study and the draft report on Coastal 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. d) Stock assessment The Programme funded NARA to carry out stock assessment surveys and prepared FMPs for South.

organizations and handover the management of landing sites to community organizations often fisheries cooperatives.
Figure 27 Fuel Storage Tank at Landing site Kaluwankerny, Batticaloa 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). 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 UNOPS together with the Ministry and PTCRRMP conducted participatory community meetings at each site during the planning process. social commitments (Figure 28). 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.
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

hostels, lecture rooms, library, fully equipped 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. 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.
Page 20
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.
(b) National Institute of Fisheries and Nautical Engineering (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.,
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.
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

(c) Sagara Vishwavidyalaya Sagara 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.

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. The main objectives of the reconstruction of COFNE complex are;To provide sufficient space and facilities

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 Figure 33 Unloading Fish at a Landing Centre

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 MicroFigure 34 Retail Fish Purchases by Lower Income Groups 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 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 Figure 36 Registered Beneficiaries Percentage taken necessary measures to fulfil this

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 them accordingly.

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.
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.
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 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. Figure 39 Technical training held at National Design Centre Ministry of Traditional Industries and Small Enterprises Development Ministry of Traditional Industries and Small 43 clusters have been
already formed among the beneficiaries and they are functioning very well at the current scenario (Figure 38).

Further 192 small business groups have formed for the micro level businesses to help functioning smoothly considering the same facts highlighted above.
Some photographs taken during the field visits for individual business premises for programme
activities are shown below (Figure 44 - Figure 46):
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 the clusters 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). Figure 43 Dry Fish Manufacturing 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. Figure 42 Fish based products at Kalmunai Kudi

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.
3.4.3. Baseline Survey for Micro Enterprises 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 7585% of all enterprises, provides jobs to 20-40% of the 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

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).

3.6.2. Programme Management During the year under consideration we have adopted several management strategies to ensure smooth functioning of programme implementation.
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.
This is discussed in following aspects. Cash flow Problems
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.
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.
Training given to staff covered the area of project & programme Impact Assessment, Project
Budgeting & Cost Control, Contract Management & Disbursement Monitoring, Results & Based

Performance
In this context during 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.
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.
During the year 2011, we have submitted 21 Withdrawal Applications (WAs) to IFAD amount to USD 5.2Mn. of which only 2 WA were
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
outstanding by December 2011 (Table 11).

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

of the work. Delays in the implementation have also been minimized. Therefore, this strategy has worked well for the advancement of the project. For this purpose, a consultant was procured to design, develop, and installed a spatial database. This GIS data base provides ongoing support for

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 an approval 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.
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
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.

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.

beneficiaries who are positively affected for their interventions. These experiences are useful for
other project as well as the different groups in the same project. Therefore PTCRRMP has developed a KM strategy in line with IFAD KM strategies especially in Asia Pacific region. Further, during our field studies and surveys, we got the ideas of community and CBOs for their experiences and their need of information sharing and recording information. Several knowledge sharing and experience sharing radio programmes were done through Deevara Navodaya and Sayura FM programmes were scheduled to address the community through project management staff and beneficiaries to share their experiences and issues and strategies used. Beneficiaries are one of our most important stakeholders. It is vital to get their opinion and feed back to evaluate whether we have delivered the right thing to right person at the right time. To address and to get their feedback from them following KM products were introduced by PTCRRMP.

PTCRRMP has procured service provider to produce and weekly broadcast 36 Tamil and Sinhala programmes on PTCRRMP activities during a six months period beginning from March 2012. Accordingly, Diriyata Saviyak- the story of courageous people raised above the waves, is on air through Sri Lanka Broadcasting Cooperation on every Saturday from 9.00 am to 9.15 am the for voice of beneficiaries and the stakeholders of the programme (Figure 57).
Global Interface of PTCRRMP
The project has developed the MIS as a tool mainly focused in to support the M&E system of the programme. The project came up with an idea to globally share project experiences and disseminate information. One of the projects main segments is knowledge management and sharing. But there were no specific location to publish news and no user friendly navigation to find out project information. The initial stages were already completed to commence the development of this
Page 36
provision and design works are almost completed. This will be launched by end of March 2012 (Figure 58). The works of IFAD-PTCRRMP and the broad concepts were shared and the information were disseminated time to time via news papers as Connecting people all over world at any time is very essential today. As the demand for knowledge is at a high level it is versatile for many sectors such as academic people, researchers, funding agencies, government, non-governmental and intergovernmental organizations. Specially, the 4. Financial Progress articles and interviews.
Expenditure during the year considered here is amount accounted for with the treasury as we have prepared draft final accounts.
Government bodies such as National Planning Department, Foreign Aid and Budget Monitoring Department, External Resources Department and any stakeholder could easily find information, findings, photos, videos and location maps. Different experiences will be shared and strategies used to address management, financial and operational issues would be the most appropriate way of learning. For this, Projects main deliverables in photos, charts and videos will be available and events held and forthcoming events could be announced and anyone who would like to add their comments, suggestions and share their opinion would be easy and PTCRRMP could be closer to everyone via this network media.

The relevant expenditure during the two periods is Rs.117Mn & Rs.746Mn respectively. especially for the activities implemented by PIUs and community infrastructure such as community centres. Sustainability is not an issue for the individual project interventions such as housing, toilets, kitchens, wells and similar activities. Therefore, it should be emphasise that Programme should develop strategies for sustainability for project activities. The MTR mission has also pointed out that some areas need attention for sustainability. The sustainability has to measure The balance loan available as at 31st December 2011 is USD 9.3Mn (Rs.1, 050Mn). This amount should be spent before Loan Completion Date, 30th September 2013.

Concluding remarks though the financial progress is
Even
comparatively low due to cash flow problems the Programme achieved a satisfactory Physical
progress during 2011. Almost all major activities such as landing sites and anchorage construction, construction of Trincomalee fish market are nearing completion.
The total allocation received by the Programme from the Treasury including deposit account allocations for continued activities from 2010, is Sl Rs. Mn. 1563.86. As at end of 31st December 2011, the total amount of expenditure during 2011 is Sl.Rs. Mn. 808.7 (52%). However it is obvious that there are several non accounted expenditures nearly Sl Rs. Mn. 100 processing in the Treasury. Further there are a few direct payments withdrawal applications headquarters are being will processed be in IFAD soon.
which
realised
Therefore the financial progress expected to be up in final accounts for 2011.
The Treasury allocations received for 2012 is SL Rs. Mn. 520.0. Even though, there is no deposit account allocation for 2012 for continued activities from 2011, the Treasury has agreed to provide supplementary allocations on request depending on the expenditures incurred as a measure to control the budget deficit.
The total balance funds available for 2013 which might be the concluding year of the Programme is nearly about SL.Rs.Mn. 200 which is mostly to be used for project evaluations and final settlements of bills.
