Project Introduction

The main objective of the Project is to reduce risk and damage from landslides in Sri Lanka through implementation of physical mitigation measures based on investigation/assessment and improvement of planning, regulation and instruments associated with landslide management. The tentative estimated value of the activities under the Project is around 110 million USD, of which AIIB will finance approximately 73% of total estimated value. Pre-construction activities carried out by National Building Research Organisation (NBRO), tax and duties will be solely financed by GoSL

The project outcomes are:

Component 1: Civil Works and associated designs and construction supervision/management activities.

Landslide mitigation works for total 147 sites total rough cost is estimated at US$ 97 million. 27 sites have been identified as at critical stage requiring urgent mitigation action (phase I) and 120 sites are identified as requiring protection works (phase II). These sites include 10 sites that were prioritized by the RDA and 20 spots has identified along the railway from Rambukkana to Badulla.

This component will sustain the infrastructure by stabilizing the slopes in high risk areas especially in Badulla, Kandy, Matale, Kegalla, Ratnapura, Nuwara Eliya, Kalutara, Colombo, Galle, Matara, Hambantota,Gampaha and Kurunegala districts. Mitigation of landslides will directly reduce the national expenditure on repair and reconstruction of damaged buildings & infrastructure facilities, resettlement, and expenditure on disaster relief services and emergency operation services. Therefore, mitigation of these 147 sites may directly results in positive impacts on the national economy as well as help the government in creating a disaster-resilient built environment.

Component 2: Enhancement of Policy, Standards, and Institutional Capacity.

Review of relevant policies, laws, institutional arrangement and existing mandatory provisions, and the development of policy recommendations to strengthen the regulatory mechanisms and enhance inter-agency coordination for Landslide Risk Management, Standardization of mechanisms for the assessment of landslide risk, building permits and development control, the preparation of engineering design standards and recommendations for appropriate policies and standards for environmental and social safeguards. Enhancement of knowledge and capacity building for the Implementing Agency, including training and overseas studies, and the development of a landslide data management system,

Component 3: Provision of Essential Facilitates and Laboratory Equipment.

This component is expected to enhance technical instrumentality in the sustainable continuation of the landslide mitigation works in National Building Research Organisation (NBRO). Goods procurement for essential laboratorial equipment and another field equipment would be conducted.

Component 4 - Technical Support and Project Management.

This component is to support the project management cost and technical reviews.

Project management and operating costs. Project monitoring support, comprising the development of web-based program; technical/financial reviews/ audits by a third independent party/institution; and project monitoring and evaluation.
