Myanmar Information Management Unit Overview of the August 2020 3W RAKHINE State The MIMU 3W gathers inputs from participating humanitarian and development agencies on Who is doing What, Where, across Myanmar. It is conducted every 6 months and provides information on agencies’ activities at various levels (village/village tract/township and IDP camps). 213 agencies participated in the August 2020 3W, providing information on their humanitarian, development and peace- focused 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 an under-reporting of activities of local NGOs and CBOs since not all are participating. 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 Rakhine as of August 28, 2020. Further information on planned and recently completed projects is available from the 3W dataset, published on the MIMU website. Projects under implementation can also be viewed on our interactive dashboards - 3W Township Dashboard, 3W Village Tract Dashboard, and the 3W Technical Assistance Dashboard. 1. Organizations active in Rakhine State In total, 86 agencies reported activities in Rakhine state: 61 are engaged in Development-focused projects (903 village tracts/towns), 25 are engaged in support to other vulnerable groups (not IDP related, 341 village tracts/towns), 34 are engaged in activities which target IDPs and Host Communities (288 village tracts/towns and 40 camps) and 21 are active in IDP-only focused activities (177 village tracts/towns and 37 camps). IDP-related projects were reported in a total of 46 camps or camp-like settings. A total of 192 projects were reported in Rakhine State: 35% of the projects involve work with IDPs (67 IDP & Host Community or IDP-only focused projects), and 65% have a focus on other populations (125 Other Vulnerable Groups and/or Development-focused projects). Non-IDP focused projects (Other vulnerable groups and/or Development activities): 73 organizations reported 125 projects under implementation in Rakhine that are village or township based, the majority are implemented by INGOs. Most of the reported are in Mrauk-U (95 Village Tracts/Towns), Maungdaw (80), Buthidaung (78), Rathedaung (67), Thandwe (65), Kyauktaw (64), Minbya (63), Kyaukpyu and Toungup (56 in each), Pauktaw (54), Ramree (52), Myebon (48), Ponnagyun (42), Munaung (37), Gwa (35), Ann (31) and Sittwe (28).

Non-IDP focused projects - Other Vulnerable Groups and Development Projects A total of 125 projects with a focus on non-IDP populations (Other Vulnerable Groups and/or Development-focused projects) were reported in 17 sectors in 951 village tracts/towns across Rakhine, representing 15% of the total projects reported to the Countrywide 3W and 65% of the projects in the whole of Rakhine state. Only 46% of total projects were reported at villages/wards level, by 40 of the 73 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: In terms of the number of agencies: Sittwe township has the highest concentration of active organizations (38 agencies), followed by Pauktaw (21 agencies), Thandwe (20), Kyauktaw and Maungdaw (19 in each), Buthidaung and Mrauk-U (18 in each), Gwa (15), Kyaukpyu and Minbya (14 in each), Rathedaung (13), Ponnagyun (11), Ann (10), Myebon and Toungup (9 in each), Munaung and Ramree (8 in each). Frequency of project interventions for non-IDP populations: Note that the actual number of villages/wards level interventions would be higher than reported here as some agencies (33 of the 73 reporting agencies) did not include the villages/wards level information in their 3W reports. ➢ Health is the most widespread intervention: 24 organizations reported 32 projects in 774 village tracts/towns across all 17 townships in Rakhine State. Agencies are reportedly more concentrated in the townships of Sittwe (15 agencies), followed by Buthidaung (10), Pauktaw and Thandwe (8 in each), Gwa (7), Maungdaw (6), Kyaukpyu, Minbya, Mrauk-U, Myebon and Ramree (5 in each), Ann , Kyauktaw, Munaung, Rathedaung and Toungup (4 in each) and Ponnagyun (3). The majority of health interventions are Maternal and Child Health (530 village tracts/towns), TB Programme (232), Malaria Programme (167) and Basic Health Care (126). ➢ Protection is the second main sector: 14 agencies reported 21 projects in 153 village tracts/towns in 15 townships. Activities were more concentrated in Sittwe (10 agencies) and Buthidaung, Maungdaw and Mrauk-U (5 in each), Kyauktaw and Pauktaw (4 in each), Rathedaung and Thandwe (3 in each). The most frequent activities are Protection Assessment (75 village tracts/towns), Child Protection (46) and Promoting Gender Equality and Empowerment of Women (21). ➢ Livelihoods support is the third main sector: 15 organizations reported 17 projects in 560 village tracts/towns, in all 17 townships in Rakhine State. The most frequent activities are Microfinance (442 village tracts/towns), Income Generation Support (86) and Cash Grants (66) with a significantly lower number of interventions focused in other sub- sectors – Vocational Education (21 village tracts/towns) and Cash for Work (3). ➢ WASH is the fourth main sector: 12 agencies reported 14 projects active in 125 village tracts/towns across 14 townships in Rakhine. The most frequent activity is Hygiene Promotion & Behaviour Change (68 village tracts/towns in 12 townships) followed by Water Supply - Household Level (35 village tracts/towns), Water Supply - Community (26) and WASH Assessment/Studies (25). ➢ Agriculture is the fifth main sector: 11 agencies reported 14 projects active in 181 village tracts/towns across 11 townships in Rakhine. The most frequent activity is Agricultural Livelihood Capacity Building (132 village tracts/towns) with a significantly lower number of interventions in other sub-sectors. ➢ Peace Building/ Conflict Prevention is the sixth main sector: 11 agencies reported 11 projects in 10 townships in Rakhine. Activities were more concentrated in Sittwe (5 agencies), Buthidaung and Thandwe (3 in each), Kyauktaw and Maungdaw (2 in each), Gwa, Kyaukpyu, Minbya, Mrauk-U and Rathedaung (1 in each).The most frequent activity is Conflict transformation and Peacebuilding across 9 townships. ➢ Fewer projects were reported in other sectors with non-IDP populations (Other Vulnerable Groups and/or Development-focused activities): Nutrition (8 agencies, 192 villages tracts/towns), Food (8 agencies, 87 village tracts/towns), Environment (6 agencies, 87 village tracts/towns), Disaster Risk Reduction (10 agencies, 40 village tracts/towns), Governance (7 agencies, 31 village tracts/towns), Education (7 agencies, 24 village tracts/towns), Infrastructure (5 agencies, 7 village tracts/towns), Coordination (3 agencies, 6 townships), Private Sector Development (3 agencies, 4 townships), Social Protection (3 agencies, 3 townships) and Non-Food Items (1 agency, 1 township). ➢ No projects were reported as under implementation for CCM, Mine Action, Responsible Tourism, Logistics and Shelter Sectors. Prepared by MIMU, Oct 12, 2020 Page - 2 Overall, the 3W reporting of non-IDP focused activities in Rakhine (i.e. Other Vulnerable groups/Development-focused) indicates an increase in village tract reach of activities in Nutrition, WASH, Livelihoods, Governance, Protection, Disaster Risk Reduction sectors over the past 6 months, and a reduction in the reported Education, Food and Environment.

    Rakhine State Needs Assessment September 2015

    Rakhine State Needs Assessment September 2015 This document is published by the Center for Diversity and National Harmony with the support of the United Nations Peacebuilding Fund. Publisher : Center for Diversity and National Harmony No. 11, Shweli Street, Kamayut Township, Yangon. Offset : Public ation Date : September 2015 © All rights reserved. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Rakhine State, one of the poorest regions in Myanmar, has been plagued by communal problems since the turn of the 20th century which, coupled with protracted underdevelopment, have kept residents in a state of dire need. This regrettable situation was compounded from 2012 to 2014, when violent communal riots between members of the Muslim and Rakhine communities erupted in various parts of the state. Since the middle of 2012, the Myanmar government, international organisations and non-governmen- tal organisations (NGOs) have been involved in providing humanitarian assistance to internally dis- placed and conflict-affected persons, undertaking development projects and conflict prevention activ- ities. Despite these efforts, tensions between the two communities remain a source of great concern, and many in the international community continue to view the Rakhine issue as the biggest stumbling block in Myanmar’s reform process. The persistence of communal tensions signaled a need to address one of the root causes of conflict: crushing poverty. However, even as various stakeholders have attempted to restore normalcy in the state, they have done so without a comprehensive needs assessment to guide them. In an attempt to fill this gap, the Center for Diversity and National Harmony (CDNH) undertook the task of developing a source of baseline information on Rakhine State, which all stakeholders can draw on when providing humanitarian and development assistance as well as when working on conflict prevention in the state.

    New Government's Initiatives for Industrial Development in Myanmar

    CHAPTER 2 New Government’s Initiatives for Industrial Development in Myanmar Aung Min and Toshihiro KUDO This chapter should be cited as: Aung Min and Kudo, K., 2012. “New Government’s Initiatives for Industrial Development in Myanmar.” In Economic Reforms in Myanmar: Pathways and Prospects, edited by Hank Lim and Yasuhiro Yamada, BRC Research Report No.10, Bangkok Research Center, IDE-JETRO, Bangkok, Thailand. Chapter 2 New Government’s Initiatives for Industrial Development in Myanmar Aung Min and Toshihiro KUDO Abstract Since 1988, when the State Law and Order Restoration Council (military government) assumed state responsibility, the market has been partially opened to the outside world. Myanmar's industrialization has shown little progress as the previous government’s1 policies and poor international relations hampered FDI inflows. As the new “elected” government took office in 2011, significant changes in policies have taken place and this paper intends to highlight the efforts of the new government in its attempt to enhance industrial development. The paper assesses the performance of related union-level ministries and regional governments towards industrial development through establishing industrial zones in all states and regions, except the Chin and Kayah states. The establishment of seven new industrial zones and extension of 18 existing industrial zones is seen to have a positive effect on industrial development, although improvements in infrastructural facilities need to be realized. Introducing the SME Service Centre in Yangon and SME financing schemes enables the firms to obtain loans from the newly named Small and Medium Industrial Development Bank (SMIDB)2, thus contributing to SME development to some extent.

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 now my hope that the main results, both Union and each of the State and Region reports, will be interpreted correctly and will effectively inform the planning and decision-making processes in our quest for national and sub-national development. The census structures put in place, including the Central Census Commission, Census Committees and officers at the State/Region, District and Township 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. The technical support and our strong desire to follow international standards affirmed our commitment to strict adherence to the guidelines and recommendations, which form part of international best practices for census taking.

It is one of the most remote and second poorest state in Myanmar, geographically separated from the rest of the country by mountains. The estimated population of Rakhine State is 3.2 million. Chronic poverty and high vulnerability to shocks are widespread throughout the State. Acute malnutrition remains a concern in Rakhine. The food security situation is particularly critical in Buthidaung and Maungdaw townships with 15.1 percent and 19 percent prevalence of global acute malnutrition (GAM) among children 6-59 months respectively.
