Myanmar Sittwe Township - Rakhine State 2017 at a glance THE USE OF PROFILING IN MYANMAR SITTWE TOWNSHIP - RAKHINE STATE 2017 www.jips.org It was not just about providing human- itarian partners with data, but also guiding them through the process of trans- forming the data into action. Stephanie Matti, Sittwe Profiling Coordinator 1 Why a profiling ? Rakhine State, located in western Myanmar, is home to roughly 3.2 million people. Compared to the rest of the country, it is relatively underdeveloped. The majority of the population is Buddhist from the Rakhine ethnic group, and nearly three in ten people are Muslim. In 2012, two waves of inter-communal violence between Buddhists and Muslims in Rakhine State left dozens dead and tens of thousands of peo- ple displaced. As of the beginning of 2017, about 121,000 people, most of whom lived in Sittwe Township, were still residing in camps. While a significant number of assessments and data collec- tion activities had been conducted since the onset of the crisis, the methodologies used made it difficult to compare the situation between different camps and across sectors. In this context, the humanitarian community acknowledged the need for solid and comparable evidence on the displacement situation, including information on preferences in regard to eventual solutions to displacement and related needs. In order to establish a common evidence-base to inform a comprehensive response by the Government and humanitarian and development actors, a profiling exercise of internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Sittwe was launched by the Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM) Cluster, the Danish Refugee Council (DRC), and the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), in coordination with the Rakhine State Government. DART Explore the data from the Sittwe camp profiling on dart.jips.org for your own analysis! 2 What difference did the profiling make ? Shortly after the publication of the Sittwe camp profiling report mid- 2017, large-scale violence broke out against Muslim populations in Rakhine State leading to a vast displacement crisis across the border to Bangladesh. Although this greatly affected the initially planned use of the profiling results, a clear impact was determined. The below are based on feedback received through interviews with the Profiling Coordinator and representatives from DRC and UNHCR in country.

People really respect the methodology and the results. That is why there has been so much buy-in and the results are being used widely.

A comprehensive analysis of the displacement situa- tion in Sittwe required investigating the situation of four main population groups covering displaced as well as non-displaced Muslim and Rakhine communities living in camps and villages respectively. The analysis process furthermore explored differences specifically among Muslim camps. The profiling exercise combined quantitative and qualita- tive methods, including : A desk review2 of existing socio-economic and humanitarian information, combined with key informant interviews to inform the methodology development ; Camp-mapping activities (see map 1 as an example) to fill data gaps on the number of shelters in certain camps. This information was useful to guide the enumeration of these areas and ensure all house- holds were covered ; A short enumeration carried out among Muslim communities to obtain the overall figures of house- holds living within them and to inform the sampling strategy ; A sample-based household survey conducted by Government enumerators in Rakhine areas and by camp management staff in Muslim areas in order to gain in-depth information on the situation of these populations ; 2 | Available Focus group discussions with members of the four at www.shel- target population groups to provide additional infor- tercluster.org/ rakhine/library/ mation on topics such as intra- and inter-communal camp-profiling- relations, social cohesion, and future preferences. 2016-2017-jips. 7 RAKHINE, MYANMAR - Baw Da Pha 2 Camp Sittwe Township, Rakhine State RAKHINE, MYANMAR - Baw Da Pha 2 Camp Sittwe Township, Rakhine State RAKHINE, MYANMAR - Baw Da Pha 2 Camp Sittwe Township, Rakhine State RAKHINE, MYANMAR - Baw Da Pha 2 Camp Sittwe Township, Rakhine State RAKHINE, MYANMAR - Baw Da Pha 2 Camp Sittwe Township, Rakhine State RAKHINE, MYANMAR - Baw Da Pha 2 Camp Sittwe Township, Rakhine State RAKHINE, MYANMAR - Baw Da Pha 2 Camp Sittwe Township, Rakhine State RAKHINE, MYANMAR - Baw Da Pha 2 Camp Sittwe Township, Rakhine State e t a Map 1: Baw Da t S e n i Pha7 2 Camp h 1 k 0 r a 2 e R t y s l , u u l p J i C h 4 M s 1 C n C : C w n : o o i e T t r c u t e u c d w u e r t o c t t r r s i a P u S r f o f n o S i p a e t t m a a a D C D p 0 7.5 15 m m a C 0 7.5 15 m 0 7.5 15 m 2 a h P a D w Data Source a Camp Infrastructure Data Source B - CamMadrasaMpad rIansafrastructure Unidentified building Mosque Latrine CDaamtap iSnofruasrtcreucture: CCCM Cluster R CamMpad rIansafrastructure Unidentified building Mosque Latrine CDaamtap iSnofruasrtcreucture: CCCM Cluster A M 0 7.5 15 m ChildMChaidldr afriendly Fsraiendl y Space UVindiedoe nStpifaiecde building MCloinsiqcue LCaatmrinpe Boundry Camp infrastructure: CCCM Cluster N A 0 7.5 15 m Y 0 7.5 15 m spaceCMhoidldu lFarri eHnodulys eSpace VYoiduenog Sapnadc eInfant Feeding Centre C8 liUnnicit Temporary Shelter Camp Boundry M Date of Production: 14 July 2017 , Date of Production: 14 July 2017 E 0 7.5 15 m ModularMTeomdpuolarr ahouse rHyo Luesaerning Space YCoMuCn gO fafnicde Infant Feeding Centre 81 0U Unint itT eTmempoproarrayr yS hSehleteltrer N I Date of Production: 14 July 2017 H Temporary Learning Space CMC Office 10 Unit Temporary Shelter K DisclaimTemporaryTeerm: Tphoer naarym eLse ashronwinng a Sndp athce boundariesC uMsCed Oonff itcheis map do not imply offical endorseme1n0t oUr naictc Teeptmanpcoer abyry t hSeh Uenltieterd Nations or humanitarian partners.

  • 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.

  • DRC Myanmar Poverty and Hunger Alleviation Through
    DRC Myanmar│ Poverty and Hunger Alleviation through Support, Empowerment, and Increased Networking (PHASE IN II) via the European Union PROJECT SNAPSHOT │ Community-driven Development in Sittwe Township of Rakhine State Bringing communities out of isolation and closer to each other and to markets is one of the keys to development in Myanmar’s Rakhine state to create access, break the poverty cycle and strengthen resilience. DRC’s Community-driven Development project in Rakhine is one such approach that aims to empower individuals and entire communities. Infrastructure is the overall theme for these types of projects that are designed and implemented by DRC with communities in rural areas. The community decides In close collaboration with key stakeholders, committed citizens and community representatives, DRC introduces participatory processes to develop ideas and plans for local infrastructure projects. These can be linked to water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), Disaster Risk Reduction (DDR), food security or community cohesion. The needs are identified and prioritised collectively through the establishment of Village Development Committees to ensure local ownership and social cohesion. The committees are composed to reflect age, gender and diversity in each community, to ensure that men and women, of different ages, across the community are heard and involved. Roads Since 2018, DRC has worked with five villages in Aung Daing, in Sittwe Township of Rakhine State. A rapid needs assessment made it clear that new roads were their key priority as the villages all suffer from isolation due to roads that are old or damaged by seasonal floods. Road construction was eventually were carried out in three Rohingya villages using macadam engineering, and concrete road construction in two other Rakhine villages.

  • A Background to the Security Crisis in Northern Rakhine
    ISSUE: 2017 No. 79 ISSN 2335-6677 RESEARCHERS AT ISEAS – YUSOF ISHAK INSTITUTE ANALYSE CURRENT EVENTS Singapore | 23 October 2017 A Background to the Security Crisis in Northern Rakhine Ye Htut* EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • On 25 August 2017, the day after Kofi Annan’s Rakhine Advisory Commission submitted its report, the Rohingya group ARSA simultaneously attacked 30 police outposts and one army regiment’s headquarters. The Myanmar Army responded with a massive security operation that led to more than 500,000 Rohingya people fleeing to Bangladesh. • Rakhine State has had a history of Muslim separatist movements since 1948, and successive governments have tried to control illegal immigration and prevent separatist movements in Northern Rakhine State. In 2004, the removal of military intelligence chief General Khin Nyunt weakened the Myanmar government’s intelligence network in Rakhine State, and in 2013, the security situation worsened when the Border and Immigration Control Command was disbanded. • Without these two security apparatuses, the government lacked intelligence on separatist sentiments and illegal operations in Northern Rakhine State, and security forces were caught off-guard by the ARSA attacks in October 2016 and August 2017. • The current humanitarian crisis, the breakdown of law and order, and the communal violence and hatred in Northern Rakhine State are not only a legacy of the past but also contemporary developments that are seeing the emergence of a new terrorist group with extremist links. * Ye Htut is Visiting Senior Fellow at ISEAS – Yusof Ishak Institute and former Information Minister of Myanmar. 1 ISSUE: 2017 No. 79 ISSN 2335-6677 BACKGROUND1 Concurrent with Burma’s independence negotiations with the the United Kingdom, Muslims in the Buthidaung-Maungdaw area of Northern Arakan2 in Burma had appealed to what was then East Pakistan (today’s Bangladesh) to annex these areas.

  • 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).
