UNDP - United Nations Development Programme

Objet publié

This is one component of a project coordinated by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) that aims to directly support over 10,000 families displaced by the conflict in Northern Sri Lanka in rebuilding their agricultural livelihoods. The UNDP component aims to rehabilitate agricultural infrastructure (farm roads, irrigation reservoirs and canals, markets, etc.) and assist 1,500 farm families, fishing families, and agricultural producer groups in 16 villages with marketing their products. The project focusses on the three northernmost districts of Sri Lanka (Jaffna, Kilinochchi, and Mullaitivu), which suffered significant damage, particularly during the final stage of the conflict.
