INTRODUCTION 1. Background Heavy rainfalls caused floods and landslides in several parts of Myanmar during June 2015. On 30 July 2015, cyclone Komen made a landfall in Bangladesh, bringing strong winds and additional heavy rains to Myanmar, which resulted in widespread flooding across 12 of the country’s 14 states and regions. The following day, on 31 July, the president declared Chin and Rakhine States as well as Magway and Sagaing Regions officially as natural disaster zones. The monthly rainfall in July 2015 measured at a weather station in Chin’s capital Hakha was equal to 1-in-1,000 year rainfall. The combination of heavy rainfall, strong winds, high soil saturation, and unstable soils in hilly areas caused widespread and devastating landslides particularly in Chin State, which is why this area was selected for this project. Landslides destroyed a large part of the public goods assets needed to support rural livelihoods, most importantly the rural transport network that allows people to access markets for the sale and purchase of goods and to access services provided by both public and private sectors. Approximately 460 miles of rural roads still required restoration in more than seven of Chin’s townships by the end of December 2017. These roads are generally earth construction, from four to 18 feet wide and categorized as village to village and village to town roads. In addition, the floods and landslides washed away many bridges and drainage structures that helped protecting the roads from floods. In order to support the Government of Myanmar in responding quickly to the situation and to restore the livelihoods of the affected communities, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) approved the Japan Fund for Poverty Reduction (JFPR) grant of USD8.856 million for the Emergency Support for Chin State Livelihoods Restoration Project in April 2016. The JFPR was established in 2000 to provide grants for projects supporting poverty reduction and related social development activities that can add value to projects financed by ADB. UNOPS has signed an agreement with the Department of Rural Development (DRD), the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Irrigation (MoALI) on 2 November 2016 to undertake works on restoring the damaged roads and structures. The project implementation period is from November 2016 to 31 October 2019 and comprises of two outputs as listed below: Output 1: Restored village access infrastructure with increased disaster 4 resiliency in Chin State’s mostly-affected townships of Tonzang, Tedim, Falam, Hakha, Htantlang, Mindat and Matupi (see Appendix E for map location). Output 2: Restored community infrastructure, such as damaged water supply pipes ana electricity power supply with increased disaster resiliency in Chin State’s mostly-affected township of Tonzang, Tedim, Falam, Hakha, Htantlang, Mindat and Matupi (see Appendix E for map location). Under the Output 1 - as of 31 December 2017, landslide clearance work is fully completed, including the seven priority roads (see table below) and for additional 58 roads. A total of 295,000 lineal ft. of landslide blockages (almost 56 miles) have been removed from the selected roads, which altogether provide a transportation network of 834 miles. Further, almost 24 miles of the priority network portion of the roads have been widened and are now accessible. The table below presents the details by road and progress.

  • Myanmar: Conflicts and Human Rights Violations Continue to Cause Displacement
    5 March 2009 Myanmar: Conflicts and human rights violations continue to cause displacement Displacement as a result of conflict and human rights violations continued in Myanmar in 2008. An estimated 66,000 people from ethnic minority communities in eastern Myanmar were forced to become displaced in order to avoid the effects of armed conflict and human rights abuses. As of October 2008, there were at least 451,000 people reported to be inter- nally displaced in the rural areas of eastern Myanmar. This is however a conservative fig- ure, and there is no information available on figures for internally displaced people (IDPs) in several parts of the country. In 2008, the displacement crisis continued to be most acute in Kayin (Karen) State in the east of the country where an intense offensive by the Myanmar army against ethnic insur- gent groups had been ongoing since late 2005. As of October 2008, there were reportedly over 100,000 IDPs in the state. New displacement was also reported in 2008 in western Myanmar’s Chin State as a result of human rights violations and severe food insecurity. People also continued to be displaced in some parts of the country due to a combination of coercive measures such as forced la- bour and land confiscation that left them with no choice but to migrate, often in the context of state-sponsored development initiatives. IDPs living in the areas of Myanmar still affected by armed conflict between the army and insurgent groups remained the most vulnerable, with their priority needs tending to be re- lated to physical security, food, shelter, health and education.

  • Myanmar Situation Update (10 to 16 May 2021)
    Myanmar Situation Update (10 to 16 May 2021) Summary: One hundred days after the coup, the junta has pushed the region’s fastest-growing economy into an economic and humanitarian disaster. The World Bank forecast shows that Myanmar's economy is expected to contract by 10% in 2021, a sharp difference from the previous prediction of 5.9% growth in October 2020. There is a possible banking crisis which leads to cash shortages, limited access to social welfare payments and international remittances. Last week, Myanmar Kyat hit one of its lowest compared to the USD. The World Food Program also estimates that up to 3.4 million more people, particularly those in urban areas, will face hunger during the next six months. Price rises, hurting the poor and causing shortages of some essentials, including the costs of fuel and medicine. The junta called to reopen colleges, universities and schools soon but many students and educators are boycotting. As a result, around 13,000 staff had been suspended by May 8. The junta also announced job vacancies for educational positions to replace striking staff. Across Myanmar, the ordinary citizens have taken up any weapons available from air guns to traditional firearms and homemade bombs and arms have spread in Chin state, Sagaing, Magwe and Mandalay regions. Mindat township in Chin State reported more intensified fights between the civil resistance groups and the Myanmar military while clashes were reported in Myingyan township, Mandalay region and Tamu township, Sagaing region. According to our information, at least 43 bomb blasts happened across Myanmar in the past week and many of them were in Yangon’s townships.
