1 Annex of the Country Assistance Policy Rolling Plan for Project Planning for Sri Lanka As of April 2016 Basic Policy :Promotion of Economic Growth Priority Area 1 Promotion of Economic Growth Background and current situation Sri Lanka has maintained steady economic growth with its stable security situation after the internal conflict ended in Under such situation, Sri Lanka has been classified as a middle income country. Meanwhile, for a sustainable economic growth, it is necessary for Sri Lanka to promote private investments along with public investments targeting emerging markets such as India. Sri Lanka must boost its competitiveness and superiority in South Asian region by upgrading its economic structure by shifting to service sector, encouraging highly value added manufacturing industry and promoting FDI. Therefore, Sri Lanka should make efforts to provide stable and high quality infrastructure, to upgrade capabilities of the labor force in knowledge based industries and service sectors and to improve a conducive environment for the investors to attract private sector. Although several policies and institutional reforms needed for the improvement of investment friendly environment are included in the budget document of this year, it is necessary to pay attention for the implementation of reforms in future. Strategy For further economic growth in Sri Lanka, mitigation of chronic traffic congestion in Colombo, improvement of transportation infrastructure, linking rural and urban areas, and provision of a stable distribution of low priced electricity are necessary. Japan actively assists the improvement of infrastructure in sectors such as development in transport and electricity, by paying attention in utilizing Japanese technology to promote Sri Lanka s economic development and to contribute in improving the business environment of Japanese companies in Sri Lanka. Japan also pays attention to the promotion of industries which contributes to Sri Lanka s economic growth, including cooperation in the areas of science and technology. Development Issue 1-1 Infrastructure development for economic growth Improvement of Transport Network Summary Rehabilitation and new investment in all sectors of transport network program, such as Airport/Port/Road/Railway, cotinued to be necessary. As for Road sector, assistance will focus on areas in which Japan has a comparative advantage, because (i) emerging donors increase their assistance for the main lines, and (ii) local contractors can handle the small/medium scale road developments.

3 Priority Area 2 Development of Emerging Regions Background and current situation Strategy In Sri Lanka, 24% of the labour force is engaged in agriculture and most of the low income population live in rural areas. Japan will assist to foster agricultural industries and develop irrigation infrastructure and agro- related facilities for improving livelihood Hence, poverty reduction through the growth of agriculture sector and narrowing down the income gap between cities and rural through industrial development. Japan will also assist to developefishing communities in coast areas, among others. areas remain challenging. Japan will its assist improving the productivity and profitability of agriculture and fishery in the communities. While paddy, the staple food in the country has reached self- sufficiency at national level, the government of Sri Lanka has Japan will provide assistance for mitigating regional vulnerability, demining and help transition to mid and long term development in the the policy of increasing the production of other agricultural produces which have not reached self sufficiency yet. For conflict affected areas, mainly Northern Province. tackling this issue, it is necessary not only to maintain and increase productivity but also to establish farm management practices concerning market trends. Moreover, a shift from irrigated paddy farming to market oriented diversified agriculture is required to add value to the sector. Furthermore, to stabilize the food supply, the government needs to provide basic infrastructure for agriculture production and distribution, and improve the production technologies and capacity building of farmers as well as relevant government officials. After the end of the internal conflict in 2009, the above mentioned development needs and trends are significant in the emerging regions such as Northern and Eastern Provinces where the armed conflicts were severe. Though much assistance has already been provided in the region, still it is necessary to make efforts to improve the living environment of people considering the social and political context in the region. The conflict affected areas, mainly Northern Province are in transition from emergency relief and rehabilitation to mid and long- term development. Therefore, this region faces challenges of alleviating disparities and shifting to gradual & smooth development. Further, delays in developing basic infrastructure and insufficiency of proper administrative services still remain challenging. Hence, it is necessary to support for the development of basic capacities in terms of know-how and experience, and physical side as well. The return of internally displaced people has mostly been completed. However, the assistance for revitalization of productivity and rebuilding of daily living are still required as social and economic vulnerabilities have been remaining among those communities. So that Japan has to carefully consider to get the involvement of that vulnerable population in production process because of the higher numbers of affected people such as women headed families.

5 Priority Area 3 Mitigation of vulnerability Background and current situation Sri Lanka is vulnerable to natural disasters such as floods, landslides and droughts. Climate change also has some negative impacts in worsening those disasters. However disaster management is reactive rather than taking preparatory and mitigation measures due to financial constraints. There is a need for organizing capacity,technologies and awareness of disaster readiness for takling a comprehensive disaster management in coordinating authorities concerned,. Indicators on primary health care have become better with increased income levels. However structual change of diseases trends caused by aging of population leads to rise of vulnerability for Non Communicable Diseases (NCD), mainly cardiocirculatory disease. It has become a burden on National Budgets because of the increasing public medical expenses. Sri Lanka has achieved a significant improvement in literacy rate and health indicators compared to its income level with support of Free education, Free health government policy maintained from its independence. However, since decline in quality of these public services is pointed out, there is a need for more improvements to meet the rising requirement level required by the economic growth and structural changes in the population. Strategy Japan will assist to establish an effective and practical disaster management mechanism and introduce disaster prevention measures through the infrastructure development and technology transfer in keeping with the Sri Lanka Disaster Management Act, No. 13 and National Disaster Management Plan. To tackle the structual changes in disease trends, Japan will assist to strengthen preventive healthcare service especially for NCDs, improve health care service and reduce healthcare cost by reinforcing the management. Summary Projects Before Note Climate Change and Disaster Management In order to take preventing measures of mitigating damage of disaster, Japan will assist disaster risk monitoring, planning, and enhancing disaster management including infrastructural measures. Especially Japan will assist following 3 subjects which Japan has rich know-how and experiences. to strengthen governance of disaster management (to enhance organizational, institutinal and legal frameworks) to reduce disaster risk for Flood and Landslide(including infrastructure development and technical transfer) to set up early warning system covering local community.
