Overview of the February 2019 3W RAKHINE State Myanmar Information Management Unit Overview of the February 2019 3W RAKHINE State The MIMU 3W gathers inputs from participating humanitarian and development agencies on Who is doing What, Where, across Myanmar. It is conducted every 6 months and provides information on agencies’ activities at various levels (village/village tract/township and IDP camps). 225 agencies participated in the February 2019 3W, providing information on their humanitarian and development activities across 22 sectors and 154 sub-sectors as defined by technical/sector working groups. 3W reporting is quite comprehensive for projects of INGO, UN and Red Cross agencies, but there is under-reporting of activities of local NGOs and CBOs since not all are participating. Agencies must report to a sufficiently detailed level (village or camp level) for their work to be reflected fully in the MIMU 3W products. This Overview of the Rakhine 3W results describes projects under implementation as of February 28, 2019. Further information on planned and recently completed projects is available from the 3W dataset, published on the MIMU website. Projects under implementation can also be viewed in our interactive dashboards - 3W Township Dashboard, 3W Village Tract Dashboard, and the 3W Technical Assistance Dashboard. 1. Organizations active in Rakhine State In total, 72 agencies reported activities in Rakhine state: 60 are engaged in Development focused projects (749 village tracts/towns), 19 are engaged in support to other vulnerable groups (not IDP related, 225 village tracts/towns), 20 are engaged in activities which target IDPs and Host Communities (126 village tracts/towns and 47 camps) and 10 are active in IDP-only focused activities (25 village tracts/towns and 43 camps). IDP-related projects were reported in a total of 57 camps or camp-like settings. A total of 168 projects were reported in Rakhine State: 30% of the projects involve work with IDPs (51 IDP & Host Community or IDP-only focused projects), and 70% have a focus on other populations (117 Other Vulnerable Groups and/or Development-focused projects). Non-IDP focused projects (Other vulnerable groups and/or Development activities): 67 organizations reported 117 projects under implementation in Rakhine that are village or township based. The majority are implemented by INGOs. Most of the reported are in Buthidaung (122 village tracts/towns), Maungdaw (108), Mrauk-U (92), Minbya (79), Kyauktaw (75), Thandwe (64), Pauktaw (60), Toungup (50), Kyaukpyu (48), Rathedaung (46), Sittwe (44), Gwa and Myebon (38 in each), Ramree (36), Ann (28), Ponnagyun (27) and Munaung (19).

Non-IDP focused projects - Other Vulnerable Groups and Development Projects 117 projects with a focus on non-IDP populations (Other vulnerable groups and/or development focused projects) were reported in 18 sectors in 789 village tracts/towns across Rakhine, representing 14% of the total projects reported to the Countrywide 3W and 70% of the projects in the whole of Rakhine state. Village tract level information was provided for 50% of these projects, by 34 of the 67 agencies (mainly INGOs). As such the actual number of village tracts/towns with activities is likely to be higher than what has been reported to the MIMU 3W. Number of agencies: In terms of the number of agencies: Sittwe township has the highest concentration of active organizations (34 agencies), followed by Mrauk-U (20 agencies), Maungdaw (17 agencies), Kyauktaw, Minbya and Thandwe (15 agencies in each), Pauktaw (14 agencies), Buthidaung and Kyaukpyu (13 agencies in each), Ponnagyun (11 agencies), Myebon (10 agencies), Gwa, Rathedaung and Toungup (9 agencies in each), Ann (8 agencies), Ramree (6 agencies) and Munaung (3 agencies). Frequency of project interventions for non-IDP populations: Note that the actual number of village level interventions would be higher than reported here as some agencies (33 of the 67 reporting agencies) did not include the village level information in their 3W reports. ➢ Health is the most widespread intervention: 18 organizations reporting 30 projects in 315 village tracts/towns across all 17 townships in Rakhine State. Agencies are reportedly more concentrated in the townships of Sittwe (10 agencies), followed by Pauktaw (7 agencies), Buthidaung and Mrauk-U (6 agencies in each), Minbya and Thandwe (5 agencies in each), Gwa, Kyauktaw, Maungdaw and Myebon (4 agencies in each), Ann, Kyaukpyu, Ponnagyun, Ramree and Taungup (3 agencies in each), Munaung and Rathedaung (2 agencies in each). Most health interventions are Maternal and Child Health (131 village tracts/towns), TB Programme (100) and Malaria Programme (80). ➢ Livelihoods support is the second main sector: 21 organizations reporting 27 projects in 476 village tracts/towns, in all 17 townships in Rakhine State. The most frequent activities are Microfinance (382 village tracts/towns), Income Generation Support (83) and Cash for Work (33) with a significantly lower number of interventions focused in other sub-sectors – Cash Grants (35 village tracts/towns) and Vocational Education and Training (30). ➢ Protection is the third main sector: 11 agencies reported 20 projects in 120 village tracts/towns in 14 townships. Activities were more concentrated in Sittwe (6 agencies) and Kyauktaw and Mrauk-U (5 agencies in each) townships. The most frequent activities are Promoting Gender Equality and Empowerment of Women (59 village tracts/towns), Child Protection (40) and Community Based Protection (Groups) (21). ➢ WASH is the fourth main sector: 12 organizations reporting 16 projects active in 106 village tracts/towns across 11 townships in Rakhine. The most frequent activity is Hygiene Promotion & Behaviour Change (72 village tracts/towns in 10 townships) followed by Water Supply - Community (54 village tracts/towns) and Assessment/Studies (24) with a significantly lower number of interventions in other sub-sectors. ➢ Education is the fifth main sector: 10 agencies reporting 15 projects in 93 village tracts/towns across 15 townships in Rakhine. The most frequent activity is Quality Basic Education/Formal Education (64 village tracts/towns in 13 townships). ➢ Less projects were reported in other sectors with non-IDP populations (Other vulnerable groups and/or development focused activities): Agriculture (13 agencies, 147 village tracts/towns), Nutrition (8 agencies, 94 village tracts/towns), Environment (5 agencies, 91 villages tracts/towns), Food (5 agencies, 86 village tracts/towns), Disaster Risk Reduction (8 agencies, 79 village tracts/towns), Infrastructure (1 agency, 43 village tracts/towns), Peace Building/Conflict Prevention (10 agencies, 12 village tracts/towns), Shelter and CCCM (1 agency, 3 village tracts/towns in each), Governance (6 agencies, 7 townships), Social Protection (3 agencies, 2 townships), Coordination (2 agencies, 2 townships) and Private Sector Development (1 agency, 1 township) ➢ No projects were reported as under implementation for Mine Action, Non-Food Items, Responsible Tourism and Logistics Sectors.

  • Rakhine State Needs Assessment September 2015
    Rakhine State Needs Assessment September 2015 This document is published by the Center for Diversity and National Harmony with the support of the United Nations Peacebuilding Fund. Publisher : Center for Diversity and National Harmony No. 11, Shweli Street, Kamayut Township, Yangon. Offset : Public ation Date : September 2015 © All rights reserved. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Rakhine State, one of the poorest regions in Myanmar, has been plagued by communal problems since the turn of the 20th century which, coupled with protracted underdevelopment, have kept residents in a state of dire need. This regrettable situation was compounded from 2012 to 2014, when violent communal riots between members of the Muslim and Rakhine communities erupted in various parts of the state. Since the middle of 2012, the Myanmar government, international organisations and non-governmen- tal organisations (NGOs) have been involved in providing humanitarian assistance to internally dis- placed and conflict-affected persons, undertaking development projects and conflict prevention activ- ities. Despite these efforts, tensions between the two communities remain a source of great concern, and many in the international community continue to view the Rakhine issue as the biggest stumbling block in Myanmar’s reform process. The persistence of communal tensions signaled a need to address one of the root causes of conflict: crushing poverty. However, even as various stakeholders have attempted to restore normalcy in the state, they have done so without a comprehensive needs assessment to guide them. In an attempt to fill this gap, the Center for Diversity and National Harmony (CDNH) undertook the task of developing a source of baseline information on Rakhine State, which all stakeholders can draw on when providing humanitarian and development assistance as well as when working on conflict prevention in the state.

The successful planning and implementation of the census activities, followed by the timely release of the provisional results in August 2014, and now the main results in May 2015, is a clear testimony of the Government’s resolve to publish all information collected from respondents in accordance with the Population and Housing Census Law No. 19 of 2013. It is now my hope that the main results, both Union and each of the State and Region reports, will be interpreted correctly and will effectively inform the planning and decision-making processes in our quest for national and sub-national development. The census structures put in place, including the Central Census Commission, Census Committees and officers at the State/Region, District and Township Levels, and the International Technical Advisory Board (ITAB), a group of 15 experts from different countries and institutions involved in censuses and statistics internationally, provided the requisite administrative and technical inputs for the implementation of the census. The technical support and our strong desire to follow international standards affirmed our commitment to strict adherence to the guidelines and recommendations, which form part of international best practices for census taking.

  • Rakhine Operational Brief WFP Myanmar
    Rakhine Operational Brief WFP Myanmar OVERVIEW Rakhine State is located in the western part of Myanmar, bordering with Chin State in the north, Magway, Bago and Ayeyarwaddy Regions in the east, Bay of Bengal to the west and Chittagong Division of Bangladesh to the northwest.
