ABSTRACT During the ceasefire agreement in Sri Lanka between 2002 and 2006, a number of countries provided overseas development aid under the aegis of human security – most notably, Japan and Norway. Evaluations of such projects are essential in identifying good practice and providing an evidence base for future funding. However, for the insights of such evaluations to be seriously considered, their approach and methodology ought to be scrutinised. This paper therefore examines the evaluations to determine how well they were able to answer questions regarding human security-related interventions in Sri Lanka from 2002 until the end of the war in 2009. It looks specifically at how human security was operationalised, community participation in evaluations, and how well gathered data supported the evaluators’ findings. Based on the findings, we argue that evaluations of human security projects should employ the same principles as human security itself: incorporating a holistic model, exploring interactions between disparate components, placing human rights and community empowerment at the centre of the framework, and examining the broader effects on communities and environments.

人类安全是否忘记了人类？严格评估斯里兰卡的涉及人类安全的干预措施的评估

摘要在2002年至2006年斯里兰卡达成的停火协议期间，许多国家在人类安全的支持下提供了海外发展援助，其中最著名的是日本和挪威。对此类项目的评估对于确定良好实践并为将来的资金提供证据基础至关重要。但是，为了认真考虑此类评估的见解，应仔细研究其方法和方法。因此，本文对评估进行了检查，以确定他们在2002年至2009年战争结束之前能够很好地回答有关斯里兰卡与人类安全相关的干预措施的问题。它专门研究了人类安全的运作方式，社区对评估的参与以及收集的数据如何支持评估者的发现。根据调查结果，
