Myanmar Information Management Unit Overview of Kachin State for the May 2021 3W July 2021 The MIMU 3W gathers inputs from participating humanitarian and development agencies on Who is doing What, Where, across Myanmar. It is normally conducted every 6 months and provides information on agencies’ activities at various levels (village/village tract/township, and IDP camps). Given the changing situation, there has been a 9 month gap since the last 3W round documenting agencies activities as of August 28th 2020. In total, 159 agencies participated in the May 2021 3W, providing information on their humanitarian and development activities across 22 sectors and 157 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 for local NGOs and CBOs, since not all are participating. This indicates 54 less agencies reporting than in the last MIMU 3W in August 2020, possibly due to the pressures of the COVID pandemic and/or uncertainty re the situation for agencies’ activities countrywide. Note that 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 describes projects under implementation in Kachin as of May 31, 2021. Further information on planned and recently completed projects is available from the 3W dataset, which can be requested by 3W Partners. Projects under implementation can also be viewed on our interactive dashboards - 3W Township Dashboard and 3W Village Tract Dashboard. 1. Organisations active in Kachin State as of May 31st 2021 A total of 62 agencies reported activities in Kachin state (11 less than in August 20201): 30 are engaged in Development- focused projects (171 village tracts/towns), 18 are engaged in support to other vulnerable groups (not IDP related, 265 village tracts/towns), 26 are engaged in activities which target IDPs and Host Communities (206 village tracts/towns and 109 camps) and 17 are active in IDP-focused activities (65 village tracts/towns and 130 camps). IDP-related projects were reported in a total of 132 camps or camp-like settings. A total of 148 projects were reported in Kachin State: 48% of the projects involve work with IDPs (71 IDP & Host Community or IDP-only focused projects), and 52% have a focus on other populations (77 Other Vulnerable Groups and/or Development-focused projects). Non-IDP focused projects (Other Vulnerable Groups and/or Development activities): 45 organisations reported 77 village or township-based projects under implementation in 352 village tracts/towns (14 less reporting agencies than in the August 2020 3W). The majority are implemented by INGOs. Most of the reported projects are in Mohnyin (39 village tracts/towns), Waingmaw (36), Momauk (32), Chipwi (31), Myitkyina (25), Mansi and Mogaung (23 in each), and Shwegu (21). IDP & Host Community and IDP-only focused activities: 32 organisations reported 71 projects under implementation in 218 village tracts/towns and 132 IDs camps (6 less organisations reporting than in August 2020, however with 15 more reported projects). The majority are implemented by INGOs and UN agencies. Most of these projects are in Momauk (37 village tracts/towns and 15 camps), Mohnyin (32 and 4), Waingmaw (30 and 25), Bhamo (17 and 7), Mogaung (16 and 8), Shwegu (16 and 3), Myitkyina (14 and 26), Mansi (14 and 12), Hpakant (10 and 21) and Sumprabum (10 and 2).

Non-IDP focused projects - Other Vulnerable Groups and Development Projects A total of 77 projects with a focus on non-IDP populations (Other Vulnerable Groups and/or Development-focused projects) were reported in 14 sectors in 352 village tracts/towns across Kachin, representing 13% of the total projects reported to the Countrywide 3W and 52% of the projects in the whole of Kachin state. Only 49% of total projects were reported at villages tracts/towns level, by 27 of the 45 agencies (mainly INGOs). As such, the actual number of villages/wards with activities is likely to be higher than what has been reported to the MIMU 3W. Number of agencies: Myitkyina township has the highest concentration of active organisations (29 agencies), followed by Waingmaw (18 agencies), Bhamo (16), Mohnyin (15), Mansi (13), Mogaung, Momauk and Tanai (12 in each), Hpakant (11), Puta-O (9), Chipwi, Machanbaw and Shwegu (6 in each), Nawngmun (5), Injangyang (4), Khaunglanhpu and Sumprabum (3 in each) and Tsawlaw (2). Frequency of project interventions: Note that the actual number of villages tract/towns level interventions would be higher than reported here as some agencies (18 of the 45 reporting agencies) did not include the villages tracts/towns level information in their 3W reports. • Health is the most widespread intervention: 21 organisations reported 31 projects in 227 village tracts/towns and 545 villages/wards across all 18 townships in Kachin State. Agencies are reportedly more concentrated in the townships of Myitkyina (11 agencies), followed by Bhamo (8), Waingmaw (7), Mogaung, Momauk and Tanai (6 in each), Hpakant and Mohnyin (5 in each), Mansi and Shwegu (4 in each), Chipwi, Machanbaw and Nawngmun (3 in each), Injangyang, Puta-O, Sumprabum and Tsawlaw (2 in each), and Khaunglanhpu (1). The majority of health interventions are Harm Reduction (112 village tracts/towns), HIV/AIDS Programme (64), Malaria Programme (63), TB Programme (46) and Reproductive Health Care (36). • Protection is the second main sector: 8 agencies reported 9 projects in 67 villages/wards and 36 village tracts/ towns across 10 of the 18 townships in Kachin State. Activities were most concentrated in Myitkyina township (4 agencies), followed by Bhamo (3 agencies) and Waingmaw (2), and Machanbaw, Mansi, Mogaung, Mohnyin, Nawngmun, Puta-O and Tanai (1 in each). The most frequent activities are Awareness Raising on Protection Issues and Community Based Protection (Groups) (21 village tracts/towns in each) and Promoting Gender Equality and Empowerment of Women (13). • Agriculture is the third main sector: 7 agencies reported 7 projects in 128 villages/wards and 80 village tracts/towns in 10 of 18 townships across Kachin State, mainly in the Mansi and Waingmaw townships (3 agencies in each). The most frequent activities are Agriculture Development (40 village tracts/towns), Fisheries (23) and Crop Inputs (19). • Governance is the fourth main sector: 5 agencies reported 6 projects in 50 villages/wards and 40 village tracts/towns in 14 townships. Activities were more concentrated in Myitkyina (4 agencies), Bhamo, Puta-O and Waingmaw (3 in each), and Hpakant, Mansi, Mohnyin, Momauk and Tanai (2 in each). The most frequent activities are Housing, Property and Land Reform (28 village tracts/towns) and Strengthening Civil Society (12). • Peace Building/ Conflict Prevention is the fifth main sector: 5 agencies reported 6 projects in 13 village tracts/ towns in 12 townships, mainly in the Myitkyina Township (4 agencies) and Mohnyin (3). Most activities were focused on Conflict transformation and Peacebuilding (7 village tracts/towns in 11 townships). • There are fewer activities focused on Other Vulnerable groups and/or Development-focused activity reported in other sectors: Environment (3 agencies, 11 village tracts/towns), Livelihoods (3 agencies, 56 village tracts/towns), Nutrition (2 agencies, 144 village tracts/towns), Mine Action (2 agencies, 16 village tracts/towns), DRR (2 agencies, 6 village tracts/towns), Private Sector Development (2 agencies, 16 village tracts/towns), Education (2 agencies, 1 village tract/town), WASH (1 agency, 12 village tracts/towns) and Food (2 agencies, 1 village tract/town). • Among the more development-oriented sectors, no projects under implementation were reported for CCCM, Coordination, Infrastructure, Logistics, Non-Food Items, Responsible Tourism, Shelter and Social Protection.

Activities related to non-IDP focused projects in 42 village tracts/towns in 15 townships were suspended. This may also related to the reduced number of reporting agencies.

    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.

The Myanmar Government requested to returned from other states and regions of Myanmar). the Thai Government to only allow 2,500 returnees per day Returnees are being transported to Myitkyina, and from there, through the Myawaddy border gate; however, due to the to their communities of origin where they will stay in extension of the Emergency Decree in Thailand until 31 May, community-based facility quarantine centres. returns are delayed for a few more days to allow for the necessary arrangements to be put in place by Thai authorities. Government Ministries and Departments, the State Government, UN agencies and other actors supporting the COVID-19 response are closely observing the situation in order to quickly respond to potential large scale returns in the coming days. It is expected that approximately 2,000 returning migrants will be quarantined in Myawaddy, while the remainder will be transported from the border to their home communities for community-based quarantine.

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.

They are being transported to through the Three Pagodas Pass checkpoint. Myitkyina and from there, to their communities of origin where they will be quarantined. The total number of migrants expected to return to Myanmar from China is between 10,000- 18,000 by late April. Migrants face several challenges upon arrival, including being required to quarantine for 21 days upon arrival, with most migrants primarily requested to quarantine in community- based quarantine facilities (mainly schools and monasteries). However, due to insufficient capacity, the majority of returnees have been practicing home-quarantining. A total of 6,808 quarantine facilities have been set-up nationwide. UN CORE GROUP ON RETURNING MIGRANTS IOM is coordinating the response of the United Nations to the IOM partner, Chin Human Rights Organization (CHRO), supporting the Falam Township COVID-19 Committee to install a community hand-washing station situation of returning migrants in Myanmar through the UN near Falam, Chin State.

    CHINA AND FOREST TRADE IN THE ASIA-PACIFIC REGION: IMPLICATIONS FOR FORESTS AND LIVELIHOODS NAVIGATING THE BORDER: AN ANALYSIS OF THE CHINA- MYANMAR TIMBER TRADE Fredrich Kahrl Horst Weyerhaeuser Su Yufang FO RE ST FO RE ST TR E ND S TR E ND S COLLABORATING INSTITUTIONS Forest Trends (http://www.forest-trends.org): Forest Trends is a non-profit organization that advances sustainable forestry and forestry’s contribution to community livelihoods worldwide. It aims to expand the focus of forestry beyond timber and promotes markets for ecosystem services provided by forests such as watershed protection, biodiversity and carbon storage. Forest Trends analyzes strategic market and policy issues, catalyzes connections between forward-looking producers, communities, and investors and develops new financial tools to help markets work for conservation and people. It was created in 1999 by an international group of leaders from forest industry, environmental NGOs and investment institutions. Center for International Forestry Research (http://www.cifor.cgiar.org): The Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR), based in Bogor, Indonesia, was established in 1993 as a part of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) in response to global concerns about the social, environmental, and economic consequences of forest loss and degradation. CIFOR research produces knowledge and methods needed to improve the wellbeing of forest-dependent people and to help tropical countries manage their forests wisely for sustained benefits. This research is conducted in more than two dozen countries, in partnership with numerous partners. Since it was founded, CIFOR has also played a central role in influencing global and national forestry policies.
