  • 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.

  • Cyclone Komen Early Recovery Assessment, Rakhine State 82%
    Cyclone Komen Early Recovery Assessment, Rakhine State Thea Tet village tract | Ponnagyun township | 13-14 August 2015 In August 2015 REACH Initiative conducted a rapid early recovery assessment in northern Rakhine state in collaboration with Swanyee Development Foundation, UNDP and IOM. The assessment aims to inform prioritisation and development of early recovery programming after cyclone Komen by identifying communities’ capacity to respond and recover from the cyclone, their vulnerability to future shocks, and main entry points for interventions. The assessment took a “snapshot” of one village tract per township in Kyauktaw, Ponnagyun, Mrauk-U, and Minbya townships. Village tracts were selected to be indicative of other cyclone-hit communities in each township in order to identify key broad trends in the affected area. Each snapshot combined key informant interviews with village administrators and a statistically representative household survey.
