Much of the improved timeliness in the response provided by the ERF can be attributed to the greater participation and involvement of the clusters in the selection and recommendation of projects to be funded. Myanmar NGOs are often the only organisations which provide assistance directly to the people in need, especially in isolated or “hard to reach” areas.

Fund Overview
ERF funds available During 2013, the ERF had $3.0 million in funding available to be allocated to new projects. While the ERF received only one new donor contribution of $762,079 in 2013, the Fund carried over $2.2 million of funding from 2012.

ERF funds allocated to projects The ERF allocated $1.8 million to five projects during 2013, averaging $356,115 per project. Because the ERF Advisory Board has limited ERF funding eligibility to NGOs (and Red Cross movement), 100 per cent of the funding was provided to NGOs. Four of the five projects were implemented by international NGOs, and only one project, representing 17 per cent of the annual allocation, was provided to a national NGO.

Of the $1.8 million allocated by the ERF during 2013, $1.7 million was allocated to four projects which provided emergency response to identified humanitarian needs in Myanmar. One innovative project in Kachin provided an emergency WASH response to expected displacement in an area of ongoing conflict. This early action project was designed to provide emergency potable water and sanitation to the expected continued displacement of people in southern Kachin.

Results of ERF Projects implemented during 2013 The 2013 results presented in this section are from the five projects that were implemented during 2013, but not necessarily funded during the year. The total value of the five projects which were implemented during the year is $2.0 million. The value is different from the $1.8 million that was allocated to projects during 2013 as it includes a project that was funded during December 2012 and continued implementation during 2013. In addition, a project that was funded at the end of December 2013, which will be implemented only in 2014, is not included in these results.
Of the five projects showing results, four were implemented by international NGOs and one by a national NGO. The four international NGOs worked with camp management committees and community associations, but did not provide funding through local NGOs because of the limited number of local NGOs that are operational in Rakhine State.
The following table shows the level of funding allocated to each sector through the five projects that were implemented during 2013. Three of these five projects were multi-sector, impacting more than one sector.

. In Kachin, two TLS were expanded and reinforced in IDP camps, two ECCD centres were renovated, and one ECCD was newly constructed, providing a safer learning environment for children. o School learning materials and NFIs distributed to 7,310 students and 97 teachers: . In Rakhine, 2,631 primary school students living in IDP camps have received education kits, including pens, pencils, exercise books, school bags, rain coats/umbrellas. In addition, 27 teachers received teaching materials. . In Kachin, 3,079 displaced pre-school, primary and secondary students were provided with school supplies, including containing text books, exercise books, pen, pencils, and rulers. The remaining students received educational support from other projects not funded by the ERF. . In Kayin, 1,600 students each received a student kit which included plastic slippers, back pack, school uniform, stationary, raincoat, and an umbrella. In addition, 70 teachers each were provided with a teaching kit including basic teaching materials. o 844 desks and benches provided to schools and temporary learning spaces to support 4,348 students . In Kachin, 484 desks and benches were provided to the schools and TLS in IDP camps supporting 1,717 IDP children. . In Rakhine, 360 desks and benches were distributed to the newly established TLS in 9 camps and host communities supporting 2,631 children. o 27 volunteer primary school teachers recruited and basically trained from within the IDP population of IDP camps in Rakhine. o Six Parent Teacher Associations (PTA) established in Rakhine with a total of 87 members (15 female and 72 male). PTA members received a two-day training on education and child rights, and the roles and responsibilities of PTA in emergency education. ■ ERF’s added value to the response:
o The Education in Emergency sector remains chronically under-resourced in Myanmar. The ERF remains an important source of funding for the sector. The funding provided by the ERF during 2013 for education in Kachin represents the only humanitarian funding provided to the sector in Kachin according to the Funding Tracking Service (FTS). In Rakhine, the ERF represents 17 per cent of the funding provided to the education sector under the 2012-2013 Rakhine Response Plan.

Each village health worker was provided with safe delivery kits and medical equipment to enable them to provide primary health care services in their villages ■ ERF’s added value to the response:
o The ERF provided access to primary healthcare services for 6,790 people living in isolated villages in “hard to reach” areas of Kayin State. By training village healthcare workers to provide basic primary healthcare, the ERF has increased healthcare access beyond the period of project implementation.

o Targeted: 1,170 households (estimated 5,850 people) o Reached: 1,253 households (estimated 6,265 people) ■ Beneficiary data disaggregated by sex and age: 542 people, including 345 women and 197 men participated in home gardening training conducted in Kayin State. Because the remaining beneficiaries are households, the data has not been disaggregated. Sex disaggregated data for the individuals selected to receive small business development will be available when this activity is fully implemented (on-going into 2014). ■ Project results:
o In Rakhine State, 300 IDP households were selected to receive support to develop “multi-story gardens”, an innovative gardening technique to maximize production on small plots in IDP camp settings. o In Kayin State, 542 vulnerable people received home gardening training on "low cost farming". 375 households received home garden kits including basic gardening tools such as shovel, rake and buckets. o In Rakhine State, 6 rice seed banks were under construction (14 to be constructed in total) and 14 rice bank management committees were organized by selecting memberships and providing training on seed replenishment. 498 households have been organised to participate in the rice banking system. o In Rakhine State, 80 households were selected to receive support to develop small businesses such as opening a shop or producing soap. ■ ERF’s added value to the response:
o ERF support to livelihoods projects will enable the targeted communities to begin to support themselves, thereby reducing their reliance on humanitarian assistance. Increasing the production of vegetables in small home gardens will provide diet diversity for populations reliant on food assistance. The inclusion of rice banks in the Rakhine programme design added minimal cost to the project, but should enable that targeted camps and villages to ensure sufficient rice seed for future planting seasons.

o ERF funds have been used to fill two critical funding gaps in the WASH response in Rakhine State. The ERF ensured the IDPs in three townships had access to sufficient supply of potable water, hygiene supplies and had access to proper sanitation facilities. The ERF also launched the first excreta disposal project in Sittwe camps to de-sludge latrines and treat the waste to reduce the risk of disease.

Achievements and Conclusion
Years of conflict between armed groups and the Government of Myanmar, and recent inter- communal fighting in Rakhine State continue to cause long-term internal displacement resulting in humanitarian, protection and security challenges in Myanmar. For several more years, humanitarian assistance is expected to be required to support conflict-affected communities which have little or no access to livelihoods and essential services. During 2013, the crises in Rakhine and Kachin States were the focus of the overall humanitarian response in Myanmar. Although Myanmar did not have a consolidated appeal document for 2013, the humanitarian community developed two response plans, one for the crisis in Rakhine State and one A woman in Pa Rain Kone village in Mrauk-U, Rakhine State for Kachin and northern Shan States.
