Program Performance Summary FY 2005: USAID's Country Strategic Plan, FY 2003-2007-Supporting 

Peace and Reform in Sri Lanka, was approved in December 2003 and supports the three main pillars of 

the Mission Performance Plan of Peace, Economic Growth and Democracy/Human Rights. USAID is 

extending its Strategic Plan period to FY 2008 due to several factors, including but not limited to the 

following country-specific conditions: the December 2004 tsunami that caused major implementation 

delays while USAID's implmenting partners quickly expanded to address the emergency; uncertainties 

over the policies of a newly elected President and his newly appointed Administration; and a tenuous, 

continually tested, Ceasefire Agreement. 

Working with a diverse mix of ethnic, religious and political groups, USAID plays a catalytic role in Sri 

Lanka in enabling citizens to experience improved living standards, benefits from the peace process, and 

new opportunities for economic and political engagement. USAID implements three major Strategic 

Objectives (SOs), and one Special Objective (SpO), Programs. These SOs and SpO include, 

respectively, Democracy and Governance (DG), Humanitarian Assistance (HA), Economic Growth (EG), 

and Supporting the Peace Process. As the following brief summaries illustrate, all programs 

demonstrated tangible, solid performance in FY 2005, in spite of experiencing the most devastating 

natural disaster in a century. 

DEMOCRACY AND GOVERNANCE: There are two core activities under this Strategic Objective: 

supporting the Sri Lanka peace process and the promotion of transparent and accountable local 

government. USAID has built a strong program to address the development challenge of strengthening 

the Sri Lankan peace process. Training and technical assistance led to the strengthening of peacebuilding institutions that have a pivotal role in promoting inclusiveness and accountability, primary themes 

in this SO. 

USAID technical assistance resulted in the creation of 16 linkages/outputs for the peace process, 

exceeding the target of 14. For example, the five largest political parties representing the Singhalese, 

Tamil and Muslim communities participated in the USAID-supported One Text Initiative (One Text). Two 

significant developments occurred through this process: the inclusion of Muslim political parties and an 

observer from the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE). The exclusion of Muslim political parties from 

the peace process had been a fundamental weakness. The request by the LTTE to have an observer 

present was a significant achievement as negotiations between the government and the LTTE had 

ceased. This was the first opportunity, for government representatives, the LTTE and representatives of 

all communities to engage on the peace process. The importance of this development was clear to other 

donors who stepped in quickly to provide support for operational costs. 

USAID's technical assistance to 11 groups created linkages within the peace process, exceeding the 

target of 10. During the first half of this reporting period, two committees from One Text, produced such 

linkages and facilitated the creation of the Peace Secretariat for Muslims. As an initial response to the 

tsunami, this secretariat established five regional help centers to assist victims. In FY 2005, the centers 

received 5,536 cases of which 3,115 have been resolved. These help centers will be developed into 

district offices, creating a mechanism for outreach in the community. 

USAID’s Transparent and Accountable Local Government Program with an initial target of 15 local 

authorities, later expanded to 33 authorities across six provinces with Emergency Supplemental funds for 

the tsunami. Other important results under this program included: financial management assessments of 

24 partner authorities; financial management staff from 16 municipalities began training in financial 

software packages and budget planning; and 167 government officials and civil society leaders have 

been trained to facilitate community consultations for planning and service delivery. Achieving increased 

civic participation is a key result. The Citizen Report Card, a national survey on citizen satisfaction with 

local government, provides baseline data for this activity. Only 2.6% of the public are consulted by local 

authorities but when public consultations occur, there is significant enthusiasm for such processes, 76% 

percent of those invited participate and of these, 94% were satisfied with the process. 

Other program highlights include: the establishment of a Local Authority Development Scale; computer 

training and budget development workshops for 16 local authorities; and citizen participation training in 10 
4

partner authorities. Seventeen local authority partners have begun their budget planning process for 

2006. 

SUPPORTING THE PEACE PROCESS: Sri Lanka's history has shown that violent incidents which occur 

in local level ‘hot-spots’ can rapidly escalate to the national level. There are groups of people in these 

areas who act as peace-spoilers, barriers to sustained peace. USAID jump starts activities with 

community level groups and peace leaders, providing people with tools to mitigate these conflicts. 

USAID targets communities by increasing public support for a negotiated settlement to the conflict 

through short-term, high-impact small-grant activities that increase awareness of key transition issues and 

collaboration among diverse groups to set and address local priorities. The program has proven to be an 

invaluable tool due to its relentless pace, demand-driven nature and strategically placed field offices. 

Using a bottom up approach to peace building, this USAID program works predominantly at the village 

level and often with informal groups. This compliments the USAID Democracy and Governance program 

which has focuses more on national level stakeholders and formal institutions. 

An example of the impacts of the USAID-supported community activities was evident in the early days 

and weeks of the tsunami relief effort as people from non-tsunami effected communities came together to 

support clean up efforts. For example, in the town of Galle volunteers representing different geographic 

locations and ethnic backgrounds cooperated with tsunami affected people to restore the main coastal 

road to Colombo. These volunteers had previously participated in USAID small-grant activities. 

USAID pioneered two activities directed toward greater engagement of youth in peace process issues. A 

sub-grant to the Center for Policy Alternatives brought together students of diverse backgrounds, cultures 

and religions, from 10 national universities, to interact, research and debate on key themes such as 

democracy, good governance, conflict analysis, conflict sensitive journalism and power sharing. A 

national level activity supported the inaugural Sri Lanka Youth Parliament by providing a forum for 225 

youth from all corners of the island on peace, democracy and human rights. 

HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE: In FY 2005, this Strategic Objective improved social services to targeted 

vulnerable populations, particularly people with mobility disabilities, and made progress in implementing 

new activities for children affected by armed conflict and violence and torture survivors and their families. 

Through sound and sustainable management, this SO continued to provide humanitarian services to 

strengthen the capacity of Sri Lankan organizations to meet the social service needs of these vulnerable 

populations. 

During the reporting period, a total of 891 devices utilizing improved design technologies were delivered 

to clients, including 437 polypropylene prosthetic devices, 314 orthotics devices, 65 wheelchairs and 75 

tricycles. While these numbers reflect a significant improvement in the availability of improved devices for 

the disabled in Sri Lanka, the significance of the designs of the technologies is more profound. For 

example, wheelchairs, now available in Sri Lanka, are customized to the needs of the client. Local 

partner organizations are now trained on proper client assessment, measurement, and fitting for 

wheelchairs. Ordering and delivery of systems have improved to help simplify and speed up the 

fabrication process of wheelchairs, allowing for provision to clients within days, rather than months. A 

new tricycle for the disabled was designed and is now available on the market. This new design provides 

improved stability, function and ergonomics, and features an optional gasoline powered engine to help 

the users become more mobile. 

USAID’s New Beginnings program focuses in three areas: fostering the resettlement and reintegration of 

children affected by armed conflict through psychological and social care and vocational training; 

protecting children from violence and abuse at home and in their communities; and reducing 

institutionalization by developing and replicating alternative community-based care interventions. New 

Beginnings achieved three major results during FY 2005: development of a methodology to reunify 

children; completion of data collection and personal interviews with 420 children living in state homes; 

and, development of a training program for institutional care-givers and probation officers.

Two new USAID/Sri Lanka programs, one program that is responsive to a Congressional earmark to 

support Victims of Torture and one HIV/AIDs program, are in the design phase and solicitation phases, 

respectively. 

ECONOMIC GROWTH: Through this Strategic Objective, USAID successfully supported Sri Lanka’s 

efforts to promote economic growth through increased competitiveness. This program succeeded in 

strengthening the role of the private sector in the economy by providing expert assistance to increase 

productivity and exports of key commodities and improving the ability of the Sri Lankan workforce to 

compete in domestic and world markets. 

 

The Competitiveness Program (TCP) has succeeded in producing increasingly self-reliant apex bodies 

(e.g., associations and organizations) that are representative of the eight export-led industry clusters 

(e.g., strategic task forces including representatives from the public and private sectors). These bodies 

are improving their capacity and member associations and they are continuing to implement initiatives 

that advance industry competitiveness. In aggregate, the firms in the eight TCP clusters (tea, rubber, 

tourism, gems, information technology (IT), coir, spice, and ceramics) employ over two million people, 

about 29% of Sri Lanka’s workforce. In FY 2005, these clusters accounted for 33% of the country’s 

exports, up from 30% in 2000. 

There were several important policy reform achievements resulting from USAID assistance. The most 

important of these was passage of new legislation restructuring the Sri Lankan Tourism Board (SLTB), a 

government entity charged with promoting the growth of the industry. The new legislation removes the 

functions of promotion and the tourism training school from the control of the SLTB and places them 

under the control of public/private boards which now have a majority of private sector board members. 

Through TCP, USAID provided technical assistance to the Tourism Cluster to mobilize over $3 million in 

private funds for the development of a new "ecolodge" concept. This places Sri Lanka squarely in the 

mainstream of this fastest growing segment of the tourism industry worldwide, ecotourism. 

Through TCP, USAID continued to assist the Ceramics and IT Clusters by conducting two programs with 

the University of Moratuwa. The six-month Ceramic Industry Placement Program for undergraduates that 

was piloted in 2004 became a success, and an increase of 12% in participation was seen in 2005. Eight 

of the 10 students who completed the program found employment in the industry. Due to the success of 

this program the University is planning to have a year-round program to double the capacity of placement. 

Another program, “IT Rapid Skill Development,” for non-IT graduates is being conducted now with 19 

participants (six of whom are women) to qualify and apply for jobs in the IT field. Two other provincial 

universities have expressed desire to conduct similar programs. 

CHANGES IN THE RESULTS FRAMEWORK: USAID is slightly modifying its results framework to better 

reflect on-the-ground results and adequate information collection to monitor impacts. These changes are 

needed after a thorough review of the portfolio during the Performance Monitoring Plan (PMP) process 

that took place in June 2005. The new Results Framework reads as follows: 

GREATER SUPPORT FOR NEGOTIATED SETTLEMENT GENERATED 

 IR 6.1: Awareness increased of key transition issues 

 IR 6.2: Collaboration among diverse groups to set and/or address priorities increased 

Explanation of changes: 

This special objective changed its title from “Peace Process Supported,” to “Greater Support for 

Negotiated Settlement Generated.” In addition, the development of the PMP led to the creation of two 

new intermediate results and the deletion of the three previous IRs. 

SOCIAL SERVICES TO TARGETED VULNERABLE POPULATIONS IMPROVED 

IR 7.1: Rehabilitative services for disabled civilians developed and improved 

IR 7.2 Communities’ capacity to address threats to children and young people’s security improved 

IR 7.3 Psychological and Social Services to torture victims improved 
6

IR 7.4 HIV prevention services for at-risk groups developed and improved 

Explanation of changes: 

SO7 changed its title from “Improved Social and economic integration of targeted disadvantaged groups” 

to “Social services to targeted vulnerable populations improved.” In addition to the title change, SO7 also 

added an addition intermediate result, IR 7.4: HIV prevention services for at-risk groups developed and 

improved. 

SO 8: Foundation for Rapid and Sustainable Economic Growth Set 

 

IR 8.4: Natural resources planning and management improved 

Explanation of changes: 

SO8 added an intermediate result, IR 8.4: Sustainable management of natural resources and biodiversity 

conservation improved which simply codifies bilaterally some of the activities that the Mission was doing 

through regional efforts, where it made sense to do so. 

 

SO9: Approaches to Good (including Peaceful) Governance Strengthened 

 

 IR 9.1: Civic foundations for a sustainable peace strengthened 

 IR 9.2: Local governments' capacity for good governance increased 

 IR 9.3: Equitable access to dispute resolution resources increased 

Explanation of changes: 

The names of the SO and the IRs were all changed under this strategic objective. The changes do not 

reflect a shift in technical areas or programming.

Through its implementing partner, USAID provides training and guidance on a full range of financial 

matters aimed at creating sustainable institutions. The activity builds upon previous accomplishments to 

support the development and distribution of more specialized services to meet clients' needs. Those 

accomplishments include: producing prosthetic limbs; increasing production of improved orthotics 

devices; improving wheelchair production; and completing advanced training programs for metal 

workshop technicians, rehabilitation therapy, and practitioner assistants. In advocacy, USAID's DSP 

promotes the Disability Rights Bill and full implementation of wheelchair standards and accessibility 

regulations. Two regional job fairs will be conducted to provide disabled youth access to the private sector 

job market. USAID is continuing to address the needs of children impacted by civil conflict and violence 

through the New Beginnings for Children Affected by Violence and Conflict program. Based on a recent
