Infrastructure and Housing Development Project in Puttalam

OBJECTIVE

The objectives of the Sri Lanka Puttalam Housing Project are to support the integration of internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Puttalam by upgrading and improving the habitat, water and sanitation facilities of both IDPs and select non-IDPs, and providing eligible IDPs in refugee camps with housing. It would entail a housing support cash grant released in installments. The project components are: component 1 - housing assistance; component 2 - water, sanitation, environment mitigation, and settlement plans; component 3 - technical support for implementation; and 4 - project management.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

The project will meet the housing needs, provide safe drinking water, sanitation, improved drainage facilities, and regularize land titles for the Internally Displaced Peoples who have s uffered much hardship during the twenty-five year civil conflict in Sri Lanka. These people have lived and owned land in Puttalam since 1990. At present there are over 60,000 people living in 141 refugee camps with 41 percent being children who have known no other home than these camps.
