Project Objective
To strengthen the resilience of smallholder farmers,
particularly women, in the Dry Zone through improved
water management to enhance lives and livelihoods
Build the resilience of the
poor like Ganga (36, mother
of 4 children in Kurunegala in
the Dry Zone) and her family
and those in vulnerable
situations to climate related
extreme events and disasters.
Output 1
Upgrading village irrigation systems and promoting
climate resilient farming practices in three river basins of
the Dry Zone
Project Areas: Village Irrigation Systems

•
Selections and plans;
Feasibility showed VIS to be more vulnerable
Three river basins; Mi, Malwathu and Yan Oya.
Selection criteria included the Vulnerable
districts to climate change, CKDu, and high
incidence of Village Irrigation Systems
• Includes
restoration
of
watersheds,
rehabilitation of irrigation facilities, climatesmart and ecological agriculture, marketing
improvements etc. etc.
• About 325 Village Tanks will be improved
Output 2
Enhancing decentralized water supply and management
solutions to provide access to safe drinking water to
vulnerable communities
Project Areas: Drinking Water
Drinking water solutions include;
• 35 small scale community managed water
supply schemes with simple treatment
• 4000 Rain Water Harvesting Schemes
• Advanced filtering systems/RO: Large (10
m3/day)-70, small (m3/d) 55
Output 3
Strengthening
climate/weather
and
hydrological
observing, forecasting and water management systems to
enhance adaptive capacity of smallholder farmers to
droughts and floods
Project Areas: Weather / Climate Forecasting
Infrastructure;
•
•
•
•
05 Agro-meteorological stations
10 Automatic rainfall stations
50 water level sensors at sub-watershed level
330 manual water level and rainfall stations at
Village Tank level
• 08 stream gauges+ rainfall recorders at identified
flood-vulnerable locations in the basin
• Flood

Sri Lanka’s Access to Climate Finance
Financing for Adaptation:
• Adaptation Fund (2012) USD 8.5 million
• Global Environmental Facility, Special Climate Change Fund (2013) USD 3.2 million
• Green Climate Fund (2016) USD 38.1 million
Financing for Mitigation:
• Global Environmental Facility: Mitigation Funds for Renewable Energy
• UNREDD Programme
• Community-Based Adaptation (AusAID 2010-2014)
Experience in Accessing Green Climate Fund
A very short project development and approval process
was supported by;
• High level of government interest and participation in coordination and technical
committees
• A practical and targeted project aimed at addressing urgent development issues and
most vulnerable people
• High quality of technical support and advice from UNDP CO and Regional Bureau
• High level of country ownership (government and non-government)
• Quick review and approval/validation by government agencies
• Co-finance commitments by all government responsible parties
Importance of Climate Finance
Why climate finance remains important to a
medium income country;
• So far government and other donor investments have been sectorally designed and
delivered through line ministries aimed at irrigation, agriculture & drinking water
• This financing allows government at national and local level to see local water
resources management holistically. Resolving user conflicts while increasing
availability. A new approach is being tested out in the field
• Government is dealing with a number of urgent development issues in post-conflict
years, as such international finance meets the long term adaptation needs.
• Because of other urgent issues needing immediate attention, it is difficult for the
government to assign due priority for climate change, however it is agreed that
increasing rainfall variability requires an urgent intervention.
