| Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy | Jaffna, the northern most part of the island, is a peninsula which significantly differs from the rest of the country in relation to geographic, demographic, economic, and administrative characteristics. Jaffna suffers from both income and non-income poverty. The resulting poverty headcount in 2005 was 43.4% in Jaffna District and 64% in Northern Kilinochchi. Years of civil war and, to a lesse extent, recent natural calamity, have resulted in continued depravation and increasing human poverty. Groundwater resources in Jaffna peninsula are limited. Acute water scarcity problems are coupled with the deterioration of water quality. The aquifer, the main source of water, is fragile and at risk, exposed to contamination from sewerage and leachate seepage, and overextraction resulting from uncontrolled and unregulated water extraction for mutiple uses. Overall, less than 15% of the peninsula's inhabitants receive supply from any providers and onsite sanitation facilities are poorly maintained. |
