Name of Partner Organisations:-Karen Refugee Committees (KRC)
Karenni Refugee Committees (KnRC)
Shan Camp Committees

Description of Beneficiaries:
The items donated by the Wakachie Project consist of 2,000 cartons of used clothing(approximately 40,000 pieces). Since the quantity of used clothing will not be sufficient to
distribute to the entire camp population, TBBC has identified vulnerable refugees as thetarget recipients of the aid from the Wakachie Project. The refugees under the vulnerable
criteria include orphans, handicaps, elderly, widows, children/students in schools and/orboarding houses, and other groups as necessary.
After receipt and delivery to the border, the majority of the Wakachie’s used clothing will bedistributed to the vulnerable refugees within a few months after delivery. Some of clothing,
however, will be temporarily stored as contingency stock for emergency needs, temporarily
staying refugees, and any additional refugees identified as those vulnerable.
Approximately 20% of the beneficiaries are Thai villagers who have been affected by theinflux of Burmese refugees. The distribution to Thai villagers is usually well received andhelps strengthen good relations between the refugees, Thai villagers, and Thai officials.
Please see the attached table for the distribution schedule of the used clothing from Wakachie
Project.

Expected Duration of Distribution:
The distribution of Wakachie’s commodites in the refugee camps should take around 2 to 3
months. The timing of distribution in each camp depends on the timing of delivery which isnormally dictated by the accessibility to each camp after the rainy season. For some refugee
camps, particularly Mae Ra Ma Luang, Mae La Oon, and Don Yang camps, the roads tothese camps will not be accessible by commodity trucks from May until November eachyear.

Distribution and Monitoring:
All distributions of supplies are normally conducted by refugee staff in the camp. For
Wakachie’s project which the vulnerable refugees are the target beneficiaries, the distributionof the clothing will require coordination among TBBC’s field staff, the refugee campcommittees, and other community-based organisation in order to identify and distributeproperly to the recipients.
TBBC field staff, as part of their core responsibilities in the field, actively monitor thedelivery, distribution and consumption/use of all relief supplies which are delivered tocamps. This monitoring is formalised through structured collection of both qualitative andquantitative data, which is then compiled into a border wide ‘Monthly Monitoring Report’.
This report is compiled by TBBC’s Programme Coordinator and Programme Support
Manager. This report is distributed to all TBBC staff and beneficiaries. It is used as a toolfor locating problems within the program and improving upon them. Further to that is one
avenue through which TBBC can remain accountable to beneficiaries.
TBBC field staff – Field Assistants and Field Coordinators are required to directly observe
distributions and deliveries in each camp. In addition to this they are required to conduct
informal meetings with householders and community groups, in order to gather qualitative
data regarding the distribution and consumption/use of all supplies.

Customs Clearance, Transportation, and Storage upon arrival:
The Thai Ministry of Interior has agreed to be the consignee for this shipment and has thelegal authorisation to import Wakachie’s commodities into Thailand. The Ministry ofInterior has already acquired the duty-exemption status of the Wakachie’s shipment fromThailand’s Customs Department.
On arrival in Bangkok Port, the custom clearance will be handled by Hong Kong TranspackCo., Ltd., TBBC’s appointed shipping company. Afterwards, the consignments will betemporarily stored and counted Hong Kong Transpack’s warehouse in Bangkok. TBBC will
arrange transportation to pick up the consignments and deliver to each destination. For somerefugee camps, which cannot be accessed by large trucks, TBBC also has warehousefacilities in adjacent towns to those camps for storing and reloading consignments ontosmaller delivery trucks. On arrival to the camps and prior to distribution, the commodities
will be stored in warehouses inside the camps.
