Why this Need Assessment……?
High Tidal Wave ‘Tsunami’ originated in Sumathira hit the coastal line of Indian Ocean particularly coastal belt of Northeast including South of Sri Lanka. The Northeast of Sri Lanka took a greatest and direct impact and made a great disaster than South.
The families in the coastal belt of Northeast affected by economic embargo and restriction on fishing imposed by the State of Sri Lanka in the name war and the adoption of imbalanced strategies and approach in development process.
This situatuation had made worse by the Tsunami hit on 26.12.2005. Under these circumstances, focussing to accelerate the relief, rehabilitation and reconstruction of Northeast, Peace Secretariat of Liberation Tigers of Tamil Elam had made arrangements to do a Need Assessment in six districts ( Jaffna,Mullaitivu,Kilinochchi,Trincomalee,Batticaloa and Amparai) by utilising professional from Diaspora and local experts through Planning and Development Secretariat of LTTE.
Even though Tsunami hit the south coast of Sri Lanka, Social and Physical infrastructure got damaged very badly by continuous war in the NorthEast. Keeping in mind the imbalanced approach of Sri Lankan Government, there is a possibility to do the need assessment in different manner in Northeast. Therefore, this need assessment had done by Planning and Development Secretariat. The post Tsunami reconstruction Needs Assesment for the NorthEast(NENA) can be accessed through the following link.
