The deadline for data collection was 30 April 2019. Shelter need in Nyau Na Pin has been shared to partners. NRC in process to request to allocate the MHF funding for Nyau Na Pin. Shelter support for IDPs from Mai Hkaung RC is ongoing for solution. UNHCR supported with CGIs, shelters being implemented by KMSS-Bhamo. Support provided for school construction for returnees. Bhamo Muyin movement: As per the follow up: UNHCR Bhamo team visited to the camp on 6 Shelter needs to be shared to all May 2019. It was found that out of 14 families, 6 families are planning to return while 8 willing to shelter partners. locally integration out of whom, 7 intending to integrate within Bhamo area. Ministry of Social Affairs was encouraging to buy cheap land close the camp which was in a way an indirect pressure To be coordinated with all felt by IDPs. The government official also mentioned that they can offer them 30 CGIs, 100,000 cluster and referred to Durable MMK and 3 bags of rice per family. Early this year the church leader informed that the church solution working group in needs some construction for that some shelters, no all, need to be dismantled which is also an Bhamo. alarming situation for them. Considering the issue they had discussion early this year and the best option they figured was to leave the camp. They said it’s their voluntary decision, even though no one is openly forcing them to leave but due to the circumstances they have decided to move. Apparently, they do not have much preparation. Asking about priority need, they requested for shelter as the primary need while they did not clearly mention about other needs. It seems that, they have no clear idea of what they want to do after returning. We also noticed that, some of the IDPs’ children will still have to stay back in Bhamo to continue their studies because there is no high school in their village of Origin. Specially, those who want to return, they haven’t yet contacted with Mansi township GAD. And most of the IDPs said they need livelihood assistance (farming and capital). Within the group, at-least 2 IDPs said they need 1 year of food support after leaving the camp. Interesting is that for local integration purpose, the families have already reported to the Immigration office and got HH registration certificate. But they still have not reported to the land registration department neither verified about the land feasibility to stay. They have not thought of requesting for any basic services improvement where they are relocating. Tarpaulins for temporary prevention for leakage in the camp has been provided by UNHCR during the visit. Some suggestion made: To discuss among themselves and provide the list of need of Shelter and Wash for new construction, renovation or repair in the site of return or integration. Should also discuss about the arrangement of their children’s studies. About livelihood, they should also consider what type of livelihood would be sustainable for them, for those planning to integrate to provide the plan of their livelihood ideas as farming for them would not be possible because of lack of land. While they are planning to meet the GAD, they also need to consider to discuss about the basic security and services and think of taking holistic approach where UNHCR can provide technical support for the letter preparation and coordination. UNHCR will also support them to receive the durable solution awareness and Mine risk education, if and when needed. 2 Recent updates: 1) Loije Mission: Almost all shelters in needs of replacement.
