The exceptional help and companionship of the team who accompanied me on the field trip to Meinmahla Kyun, and the hospitality and kindness of all the village leaders and villagers we met, contributed much to the success of the visit during six days of travel and interviews. Special thanks go to Dr. Tint Swe (Mawlamyine University) and Mr Zau Lunn (FFI) who provided invaluable fisheries and local knowledge, respectively, and also interpreted for me during the many interviews conducted in the 15 villages visited. A wealth of knowledge and experience was shared freely by several government departments and NGOs, and by experts and advisors of international development programs, all of whom went out of their way to be helpful. Finally, meeting farmers, fishers and odd-jobbers, leaders and elders, women and children, in the villages was an enriching and unforgettable experience.

    UNITED NATIONS OFFICE FOR THE COORDINATION OF HUMANITARIAN AFFAIRS Myanmar Cyclone Nargis OCHA Situation Report No. 53 28 November 2008 (Reporting period 14 – 27 November 2008) OVERVIEW & KEY DEVELOPMENTS • Cyclone Nargis hit Myanmar on 2-3 May 2008, affecting some 2.4 million people living in Ayeyarwady and Yangon Divisions. Almost 140,000 people were killed or remain missing, according to the official figures. While addressing residual or new emergency needs, including water shortage during the summer season, most of humanitarian partners are transiting to full recovery programming mode. Clusters are finalising the inputs to the “Post Nargis Recovery and Preparedness Plan” (PONREPP) which covers the long term recovery post Flashed Appeal (2009-2011). Concurrently, clusters are also finalising the Early Recovery Strategic Framework (ERSF), whose final draft has been approved on 21 November by the Tripartite Core Group (TCG), a high-level coordination entity, consisting of the Government of the Union of Myanmar, ASEAN and the United Nations. • The Periodic Review, building on the village tract Assessment (VTA) component of the Post- Nargis Joint Assessment (PoNJA), has completed data collection. The preliminary result was shown at the TCG Round Table, held on 26 November in Yangon. The data analysis and narratives are being finalised with clusters and the final draft will be submitted to the Periodic Review Strategic Advisory Group on 3 December and to the TCG on 6 December. It is planned that the results of the first Periodic Review, together with PONREPP will be shared at the UN/ASEAN summit in Thailand, planned for mid December. • Discussions continue on the ways forward for the clusters and coordination mechanisms beyond the emergency phase at the Humanitarian Country Team/IASC and among cluster leads.
