Most of the state is hilly and mountainous with an average altitude of 1,200 meters. The main livelihood is agriculture which mostly consists in shifting cultivation (slash and burn farming). In Southern Chin State there are few other livelihoods than subsistence farming. The few sources of cash income include small-scale vegetable and fruit production, livestock, petty trade and casual labour. Food security heavily relies on fragile upland farming systems: shifting cultivation is predominant, crop yields depend on soil fertility and its renewal and are therefore directly related to the field rotation cycles. The trend in the past decades is a growing pressure on cultivable lands, shorter rotation cycles and therefore a decline in staple crop yields. The massive rodent infestation that started across Chin State in 2008 seems to have peaked in 2010 in the southern area of the state. During recent coordination meetings in Yangon, various stakeholders currently active in Chin State reported a gravely worrying food security situation especially in the southern townships. Considering the low numbers of aid agencies operating in this area, Solidarités International decided to assess the overall humanitarian situation in two of the three most southern townships of Chin State, namely Mindat and Kanpetlet. A rapid assessment was carried out in early September 2010. Figure 1. Localization of the two assessed townships Mind at & Kanpetlet Townships Source: MIMU 1.2 Objectives of the rapid assessment This first rapid assessment mainly focused on the food security status of the local population but also aimed to give an overview of the current livelihoods, main humanitarian concerns and priority sectors for aid agencies. It was intended to be a precursor to a more logistic-focused assessment later in the year focusing primarily on the more remote township of Kanpetlet. More specifically, the objectives were: To assess the current food security status of the local population in Mindat and Kanpetlet Townships; To identify priority needs in Mindat and Kanpetlet Townships for 2010-2011; To refine the intervention mapping in Mindat and Kanpetlet Townships. 1.3 Assessment methodology and constraints The assessment team was composed of two Solidarités International staff (Programme Coordinator Assistant and Community Infrastructure Assistant) and a consultant (retired civil servant from the Cooperative department). They first met the main stakeholders present in the two townships. In Mindat the assessment team met representatives from local authorities (TPDC 1), UNDP, CARE International in Myanmar, KMSS 2 and MAS 3. In Kanpetlet they met TPDC, UNDP and MAS representatives (see Annex 1 for the full list of persons met and their main recommendations). After identifying key actors and priority areas, they visited a sample of villages 4 in order to have an overview of the current food security situation and the main humanitarian needs through discussions with key actors. The time was short for such an assessment in an area which main features are its rugged landscape and extremely poor access to roads and means - especially during the rainy season. Since Solidarités International is new to the area, the local authorities did not allow the assessment team to visit villages in Kanpetlet, however there were indications that a future assessment in the year would be allowed if transparency and trust were maintained throughout the process. In Mindat, only the closest villages to the main town were possible to visit due to the poor road conditions. 2 Background information on the two townships: difficult access, few INGOs 2.1 Mindat Township Mindat Township has an average elevation of 1,400 meters above the sea level. The landscape is mostly hilly with steep slopes. The average rainfall is around 1400 mm per year. 1 Township Peace and Development Council. 2 Karuna Myanmar Social Services (local NGO). 3 Myanmar Agriculture Services, Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation. 4 Only in Mindat Township.

The township consists of 46 village tracts and approximately 200 villages. In the rural areas, the population is relatively low with an average size of only 30 households per village. People’s high mobility is another important feature of the township: village location sometimes changes, some villages have only 4 or 5 households, and there are a number of villages on the map where no one seems to live permanently. The main livelihoods are farming and livestock breeding. Access to most of the villages is very difficult. Some villages can be reached by four wheel jeep or motorbike in the dry season while others are a 3 days walk from the nearest accessible road. There are three main aid agencies currently working in Mindat: UNDP has ongoing projects which began in 2005 and currently target 63 villages in 33 Village Tracts (VT). Their main activities are revolving funds, cash grants and community development. CARE started Water and Sanitation projects (gravity water scheme, rainwater collection tanks and latrines) in 2004 in 62 villages. In 2008 they initiated Livelihood projects in the same villages. Activities include in-kind and cash support for livestock rearing (pig, chicken and goat), Village Saving and Loan Association creation, seeds (elephant foot yam) distribution. KMSS implemented activities in 2010 in 5 villages in collaboration with WFP. This includes terrace cultivation development and road rehabilitation under Food for Work (FFW). 2.2 Kanpetlet Township Kanpetlet Township is located in Mindat district. The average elevation is 1,350 m above the sea level. Like Mindat, this is a hilly township with steep slopes and narrow valleys. The average rainfall is reportedly 2,200 mm per year, which is significantly higher than in Mindat. 5 Source: UNOCHA, Chin State, August 2010. Picture 2. Kanpetlet town, August 2010 Picture 3.

  • 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.

  • Determination of Rainwater Harvesting System in Mindat District
    ISSN 2319-8885 Vol.03,Issue.10 May-2014, Pages:1905-1911 www.semargroup.org, www.ijsetr.com Determination of Rainwater Harvesting System in Mindat District 1 2 JUE JUE , TIN TIN HTWE 1Dept of Civil Engineering, Mandalay Technological University, Mandalay, Myanmar, Email: [email protected]. 2Dept of Civil Engineering, Mandalay Technological University, Mandalay, Myanmar, Email: [email protected]. Abstract: This study is described about the determination of rainwater harvesting system in Mindat district, Chin State of Myanmar. Firstly, rainfall volume collected from the rooftop catchment is calculated using rational method and the existing roof catchment areas; 400 sq ft, 840 sq ft and 1200 sq ft are used to collect rain. Two types of roofing materials such as GI sheet and thatch are considered. The data length is ten years period from 2003 to 2012 and these data are recorded from department of Metrology and Hydrology. To calculate monthly water use (demand), daily water consumption for one person is taken as 15 gallons and six household members are considered in a family. 30 days in a month and 30 gallons of wastage as example for roof washing or for flushing out are considered. Comparing the demand and rainfall collected, 1200 sq ft roof catchment area with GI sheet roof in Mindat can give reliable rainwater storage. In Matupi, Kanpetlet and Paletwa, surplus rainwater is collected from GI sheet roofs of 840 sq ft and 1200 sq ft roof catchment areas. Rainfall runoff collected from the roof catchment of 400 sq ft does not meet to satisfy the demand. Secondly, surface runoff harvesting is considered to collect the rains on every catchment area where the rain falls.

  • 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.

The results of physicochemical properties of observed soils were neutral pH, favorable moisture, silty clay loam texture, very high content of organic carbon, organic matter and total nitrogen. However, the tea growing soil was very poor in phosphorus and potassium content. Moreover, both soils lack of available potassium. The content of heavy metals in both soils was not varied from each other and followed the order: Fe (iron) > Cu (copper) >Zn (zinc) > Pb (lead) > Cr (chromium) and was below the maximum allowed concentrations (MAC). Therefore, the studied soils are generally favorable for cultivation under the condition of application of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers. However, due to the regular application of fertilizers and pesticides, it is necessary to monitor these soils for PTE levels. Further research is recommended, which must include analyses of the physicochemical properties of soils to a two depths of 0-30 and 30-60 cm, especially for the area where fruit plants are grown.

Results indicated differences in knowledge and level of awareness between the two townships particularly regarding issues such as the reduction in fallow period, forest dependence, promoting tourism, protecting local identity and family planning requirements. These differences were found to be mainly due to the differences in economic and social status of the respondents between the two townships. Respondents in Mindat earn more and their education level is higher than in Kanpetlet. They are much more aware of natural environmental changes. In Kanpetlet, forest dependent subsistence is higher and the fallow period in shifting cultivation is shorter than in Mindat. Introducing effective cultivation practices with the required resources and knowledge will facilitate to increase their income while conserving the environment. The respondents have quite different opinions on the development requirements for increasing their earnings and uplifting their living standards. 1.
