  • July 2020 (23:45 Yangon Time)
    Allocation Strategy Paper 2020: FIRST STANDARD ALLOCATION DEADLINE: Monday, 20 July 2020 (23:45 Yangon time) I. ALLOCATION OVERVIEW I.1. Introduction This document lays the strategy to allocating funds from the Myanmar Humanitarian Fund (MHF) First Standard Allocation to scale up the response to the protracted humanitarian crises in Myanmar, in line with the 2020 Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP). The allocation responds also to the critical underfunded situation of humanitarian requirements by mid-June 2020. As of 20 June, only 23 per cent of the 2020 HRP requirements, including the revised COVID-19 Addendum, have been met up to now (29 per cent in the case of the mentioned addendum), which is very low in comparison with donor contributions against the HRP in previous years for the same period (50 per cent in 2019 and 40 per cent in 2018). This standard allocation will make available about US$7 million to support coordinated humanitarian assistance and protection, covering displaced people and other vulnerable crisis-affected people in Chin, Rakhine, Kachin and Shan states. The allocation will not include stand-alone interventions related to the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), which has been already supported through a Reserve Allocation launched in April 2020, resulting in ten funded projects amounting a total of $3.8 million that are already being implemented. Nevertheless, COVID-19 related actions may be mainstreamed throughout the response to the humanitarian needs. In addition, activities in Kayin State will not be included in this allocation, due to the ongoing projects and level of funding as per HRP requirements.

  • 1 Date: 30.4.2018 Urgent Call for Safe Passage of Ethnic Villagers Trapped by Myanmar Tatmadaw Offensives Throughout Kachin Stat
    Date: 30.4.2018 Urgent call for safe passage of ethnic villagers trapped by Myanmar Tatmadaw offensives throughout Kachin State and for provision of humanitarian aid From April 11 to 28, 2018, due to fierce offensives by the Myanmar Tatmadaw, people from Tanai township, Awng Lawt village, Kamaing township, Man Wai/Loi Nawng Khu village, Namti township, Kasung village, Inn Jang Yang township, Chipwi township and Zan Naung Yang villages have fled for their lives to the jungle and remain trapped amid the fighting until today. The people who are trapped include pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, sick people, old people, children under five, newborn babies, paralyzed and disabled people, mothers who have just given birth, and injured people. They are suffering from shortages of food and water, and, unable to access safe refuge, with ongoing heavy fighting, their numbers are increasing day by day. We are therefore gravely concerned for their safety and welfare. By remaining silent about the suffering inflicted on these innocent villagers by the Tatmadaw’s offensives, the government is promoting Burmese Buddhist chauvinism, which does not respect or recognize other ethnic groups or religions. The Tatmadaw’s fierce offensives are aimed at seizing by military force the lands and natural resources of the indigenous ethnic peoples and carrying out ethnic cleansing. In order to solve these urgent problems, the People’s Action Committee for Humanitarian Aid makes the following demands: 1. The villagers trapped amid the conflict must be allowed safe passage to places of refuge and must be provided with timely humanitarian aid as soon as possible.

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 my hope that the main census results will be interpreted correctly and will effectively inform the planning and decision-making processes in our quest for national development. The census structures put in place, including the Central Census Commission, Census Committees and Offices at all administrative 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.

    RESIDENT / HUMANITARIAN COORDINATOR REPORT ON THE USE OF CERF FUNDS MYANMAR UNDERFUNDED EMERGENCIES 2014 ROUND I CONFLICT-RELATED DISPLACEMENT RESIDENT/HUMANITARIAN COORDINATOR Ms. Renata Dessallien REPORTING PROCESS AND CONSULTATION SUMMARY a. Please indicate when the After Action Review (AAR) was conducted and who participated. While no AAR was conducted at the level of the Humanitarian Country Team (HCT) for this CERF allocation, the members of the Intercluster Coordination Group (ICCG) did participate in a CERF training in Yangon on 27 January 2015, where this allocation was used as a case study. For future allocations, the ICCG may conduct the AAR in place of the HCT. The CERF Performance and Accountability review conducted in Myanmar during October 2014, recommended that AARs could be alternatively carried out at the level of the ICCG, instead of the HCT. b. Please confirm that the Resident Coordinator and/or Humanitarian Coordinator (RC/HC) Report was discussed in the Humanitarian and/or UN Country Team and by cluster/sector coordinators as outlined in the guidelines. YES NO All members of the HCT were distributed the draft of the RC/HC Report and given the opportunity to discuss the report during an HCT meeting on 26 March 2015. The draft report was shared with all HCT members and all sector and cluster coordinators for their comment on 17 March 2015.

  • MYANMAR Humanitarian Update No
    MYANMAR Humanitarian Update No. 7 27 May 2021 This regular update, covering humanitarian developments in conflict-affected areas from 24 April to 24 May, is produced by OCHA Myanmar in collaboration with the Inter-Cluster Coordination Group and UNHCR. The next update will be issued towards the end of June 2021. HIGHLIGHTS • Around 46,000 people were displaced in the south-eastern part of Myanmar between April and May due to the conflict and insecurity, about 37,000 of them displaced in late May following the clashes in Kayah State. • In Chin State, thousands have been internally displaced following an escalation of hostilities in the town of Mindat since 12 May. • In northern Shan, clashes between the Myanmar Armed Forces (MAF) and Ethnic Armed Organizations (EAOs) and among EAOs continue and around 2,800 people were displaced in May. A total of 8,400 people who have fled since January 2021 remain displaced. • In Kachin State, there has been no new displacement during the reporting period, despite the active armed conflict between the MAF and the Kachin Independence Army (KIA); about 8,500 people who fled insecurity since mid-March remain displaced. • No new population displacement has been reported in Rakhine State.
