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.

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).

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.
