CONFLICT AFFECTED AREAS REHABILITATION PROJECT (CAARP)
Component - C
Project Area
The Project is being implemented in the 8 districts (Jaffna, Kilinochchi, Mullaitivu, Vavuniya, Mannar, Trincomalee, Batticaloa, Ampara) that of the Northern and Eastern Provinces, and covers both cleared and uncleared areas.
Project Description
The Project addresses the rehabilitation of essential economic and social infrastructure, thereby contributing to the restoration of community livelihoods in the conflict–affected areas. It will enable people to rebuild and resume their normal lives by reconstructing roads; power and electrification infrastructure; community facilities including small-scale water supplies, sanitation, education, health, access roads, renewable energy and other community development activities and Jaffna water supply feasibility study.
Objectives and Scope
The objective of the Project is to support rehabilitation of essential infrastructure and restoration of community livelihoods in the most severally conflict-affected areas of the North and East.
The Project is implemented using a sector approach through which sub-projects are selected on the basis of pre-agreed criteria. It includes the following components: (i) rehabilitation of about 500 kilometers (km) of national roads; (ii) rehabilitation of power transmission, distribution and rural electrification; (iii) smaller-scale community infrastructure rehabilitation and activities, such as schools, water supplies, health centers, minor roads, renewable energy, income generation opportunities and others for conflict – affected communities throughout the project area. It also finances a feasibility study for water supply and sanitation system for the Jaffna peninsula, where the lack of such systems largely because of the conflict has resulted in a serious public health crisis.
