Bayesian Spatiotemporal Analysis of Malaria Infection Along An
Thway et al. Malar J (2018) 17:428 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12936-018-2574-0 Malaria Journal RESEARCH Open Access Bayesian spatiotemporal analysis of malaria infection along an international border: Hlaingbwe Township in Myanmar and Tha‑Song‑Yang District in Thailand Aung Minn Thway1, Chawarat Rotejanaprasert1, Jetsumon Sattabongkot2, Siam Lawawirojwong3, Aung Thi4, Tin Maung Hlaing5, Thiha Myint Soe6 and Jaranit Kaewkungwal1* Abstract Background: One challenge in moving towards malaria elimination is cross-border malaria infection. The imple- mented measures to prevent and control malaria re-introduction across the demarcation line between two countries require intensive analyses and interpretation of data from both sides, particularly in border areas, to make correct and timely decisions. Reliable maps of projected malaria distribution can help to direct intervention strategies. In this study, a Bayesian spatiotemporal analytic model was proposed for analysing and generating aggregated malaria risk maps based on the exceedance probability of malaria infection in the township-district adjacent to the border between Myanmar and Thailand. Data of individual malaria cases in Hlaingbwe Township and Tha-Song-Yang District during 2016 were extracted from routine malaria surveillance databases. Bayesian zero-infated Poisson model was developed to identify spatial and temporal distributions and associations between malaria infections and risk factors. Maps of the descriptive statistics and posterior distribution of predicted malaria infections were also developed. Results: A similar seasonal pattern of malaria was observed in both Hlaingbwe Township and Tha-Song-Yang District during the rainy season. The analytic model indicated more cases of malaria among males and individuals aged 15 years.

Box 2100, 1211 Geneva 2, Switzerland - TEL: +41 22 791 6033 - FAX: +41 22 791 6506 www.actalliance.org Preliminary Appeal Myanmar Assistance to flood affected - MMR132 Preliminary Appeal Target: US$ 997,365 Geneva, 30 August 2013 Dear Colleagues, Heavy monsoon rains have caused havoc in many parts of Myanmar and, according to OCHA, 73,300 displaced people were living in temporary camps as on 16 August 2013. The floods have affected both rural and urban areas. Some villages have been completely cut-off due to the destruction of access roads and the affected communities in such areas are stranded, unable to reach the camps that have been set up. Such areas are still largely inaccessible to humanitarian agencies which make the humanitarian needs of the affected population more acute. This also means that the number of actual affected people could be higher that estimated. In Kayin State, the affected population has suffered twice as they return to the camps after a second spell of flooding. Rapid assessments, carried out by ACT members and their partners, revealed widespread damage to the monsoon rice crop, which will have immediate impact over food security of the population. Repairs of infrastructure and damaged houses will be also needed. In addition, water sources have been contaminated exposing the communities to the risk of water-borne diseases. Most of the flood affected areas already lacked any development indicators, as they had been suffering from a long period of armed conflict. The recent devastating floods have further compounded the problems faced by vulnerable population groups in these areas.

MYANMAR Humanitarian Update No. 9 30 July 2021 This regular update, covering humanitarian developments from 24 June to 27 July, is produced by OCHA Myanmar in collaboration with the Inter-Cluster Coordination Group and UNHCR and WHO. The next update will be issued towards the end of August 2021. HIGHLIGHTS • An estimated 170,200 people remain displaced in south-eastern parts of Myanmar due to violence, armed clashes and insecurity since 1 February. This includes around 121,400 people displaced in Kayah State and neighboring townships of southern areas of Shan State following an escalation of clashes since 21 May. • In Chin State, clashes continued in and around Mindat Township over the course of July and more than 18,100 persons remain internally displaced in over 100 sites in Chin State and in neighboring Magway and Sagaing regions. • In Shan State, population movement remains fluid, with new displacements and small-scale returns recorded during the reporting period. A total of 22,000 people have been displaced across north and southern parts of Shan State since the beginning of 2021; about 7,000 of them remain displaced across 33 temporary sites. • Continuous rains resulted in floods affecting several townships across Rakhine State and parts of south-eastern Myanmar. A number of fatalities have been reported and several thousand people were affected or displaced, according to initial reports. • An Interim Emergency Response Plan has been developed and seeks US$109 million to reach an additional 2 million people with prioritized emergency humanitarian response activities beyond the scope of the 2021. • More funds have been secured for humanitarian response in Myanmar and as of 29 July, 42 per cent of the US$276.5 million requested under the Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP) has been funded, according to the FTS.

(HAC 2021) Access to, and delivery of, humanitarian assistance is still heavily restricted, due in part to, challenges with renewals of Memoranda of 1,000,000 Understanding (MoU) for implementing partners and obtaining travel people in need authorization, coupled with massive disruptions to the banking system.

Countdown to the Myanmar Elections Prepared for the Conflict Prevention and Peace Forum by Richard Horsey 1 25 August 2010
Countdown to the Myanmar Elections Prepared for the Conflict Prevention and Peace Forum by Richard Horsey 1 25 August 2010 I. The election timetable On 13 August, the Myanmar Election Commission finally announced the timetable for the country’s first elections in two decades; two days earlier, it had designated the constituencies. 2 The key dates are as follows: 11 August Constituencies designated by Election Commission 16 – 30 August Registration period for candidates (party and independent) 3 September Deadline for candidates to withdraw 6 – 10 September Applications scrutinized by Election Commission 7 November Election Day The announcement gave parties little more than two weeks’ notice of the candidate registration deadline – although most parties had already been considering for some time the question of which constituencies they would contest, and identifying possible candidates. The limited time remaining, and the considerable costs associated with contesting a seat (a non-refundable US$500 fee per candidate), mean that a number of parties have to scale-back their ambitions. With 498 seats up for grabs at the national level, and a further 665 in regional legislatures, only highly-organized and well-funded parties can hope to contest a majority of seats. Although parties have already started their canvassing activities, the campaign period proper – when confirmed candidates can formally seek support from the electorate in their constituency – will last only two months. By way of comparison, the timetable for the 1990 elections was announced more than six months in advance, on 7 November 1989. 3 Then too, however, little 1 Richard Horsey is an independent political analyst and a former ILO liaison officer in Myanmar; he is fluent in the Burmese language.
