  • Magway Region Fieldtrip: Coordinator Report
    Shelter Cluster Myanmar MYANMAR CENTRAL AREA FLOODS RESPONSE ShelterCluster.org Coordinating Humanitarian Shelter MAGWAY REGION FIELDTRIP: COORDINATOR REPORT Monday 12th of October 2105 1 Summary of Key Findings Overview The Floods Response Regional Shelter Cluster Coordination Team has prepared this report following a field trip to Magway from 1st to the 3rd October 2015. Pwintbyu, Pakokku Townships were visited as well as Magway Town itself. The reason for the visit was to meet local government, International and local NGOs working in the area to get a better idea of both shelter and recovery needs in Magway Region. The coverage of iNGOs in Magway region is limited to the most affected townships. Shelter kit distributions (including 2 tarpaulins, mosquito net, rope and knife) were distributed at the first stage to the most vulnerable to cover the most essential needs. For the shelter context only a few iNGOs are based in Magway region: MRCS, Save the Children, World Vision, Action Aid and ADRA. Key findings - Limited iNGO response. - High need to support iNGO/NGO at township level (DRR training, Sphere Standards, Fund raising). - Focus on most affected villages especially to those which are relocated or lost their land (safe location). - Shelter assistance must go hand in hand with DRR. - Technical guidance (for reconstruction – basic guidelines for how to build a house). - Extra support needed to relocate female headed HHs, and those with disabilities. - Livelihood and adequate sanitation facilities are of significant concerns. - Health – more mosquitoes as a result of increased standing water; need for more mosquito nets everywhere. Health assistance needed for vulnerable population (pregnant women, children, disabled people, elderly people).
