Extend Humanitarian Assistance to people in need in hard-to-reach and under-served areas in the Northwest region The humanitarian response project is designed to provide immediate relief support to the IDPs who are affected by the armed conflict in Sagaing and Chin state. The Project planned to target to support the most Marginalized and forgotten 7706 displaced population (Men 1997, Women 2007, Boy 1831 and Girl 1871). The response mainly focuses on food security, WASH intervention, Nutrition, Child Protection, Protection and continue access to Education. 
The multi-sector approach is needed urgently to save the live of the children, women and men in North West Region in Myanmar. As the conflict spread out across the country, millions of People are displaced across the country and likely to increase the Population in the coming months.
KBC will work together with Chin Baptist Convention (CBC) for this project implementing for Chin state in 8 townships. Chin Baptist Convention (CBC) will cover for Chin state field implantation such like data collection, SMEB and MCCT cash distribution and project activity monitoring to the targeted sites in Chin state. KBC will work with the Local churches communities to reach the displaced person and support the critical needs of the IDPs. As the Local communities are now hosted in the Churches compound and are provided with the basic needs to cover the urgent need of the Population for a few weeks. Unfortunately, local churches are facing the challenges and limitation to support the displaced population with the church donation after one or two weeks. This project will support the IDPs and save the life of the children and women who have suffered the most during this conflict.
Support to IDPs in Southeast Myanmar Note: this proposal has been updated in line with the feedback from the strategic review, including updates on coordination with stakeholders, complementarity with ongoing projects especially for referral pathways, updates on CRM and PSEA, the inclusion of health activities in Kayin, and an updated and reduced budget. These changes have been made in the corresponding sections.

The proposed project is a collaboration between HelpAge International and the Yoma Social and Development Association (YSDA). Both organisations have a longstanding presence in their respective target locations (Kayin State for HelpAge International and Eastern Bago for YSDA), and have been providing support to IDPs since the military takeover. This has been possible due to strong relationships with ethnic organisations and their armed Brigades that control access to the camps, especially the Karen National Union and its Brigade 2.
Based on discussions with communities (including representatives from most-at-risk groups, such as older people, people with disabilities, female-headed households, and those speaking on behalf of children), the project has designed a comprehensive package or support to address the needs these IDP communities face (including education, food security, health, protection, shelter and non-food items, and WASH).   The project design has taken the challenges regarding safety, access, and transport into account, leaving out activities that were deemed unrealistic in the current circumstances. Together, this package of support will improve the living conditions of 4625 people (1900 men, 2100 women, 313 boys and 312 girls) in living in 4 IDP sites in 3 townships in Eastern Bago and Kayin.
A multi-sectoral project to improve Health and Nutrition conditions including mainstreaming of mine risk education for the Internally Displaced People and vulnerable people in Sittwe Township, Rakhine State. This nine-month project will provide integrated health and nutrition services including mainstreaming of mine risk education for 30,000 Internally Displaced People (IDP) and vulnerable people located in Sittwe Township, Rakhine State. For the health component, MERCY Malaysia will provide comprehensive health care services in Sittwe township through two mobile clinic teams. The comprehensive primary health care services include reproductive healthcare, maternal and child care, non-communicable diseases, and preventing, detecting, and rapidly responding to any communicable disease outbreak. As for the nutrition component, MERCY Malaysia will conduct screening for malnourished children by measuring mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC), provision of appropriate referral services to nutrition partners, and raising awareness on nutrition through training by UNICEF to health promoters to conduct better health education for the Sittwe communities. MERCY Malaysia also focuses on the provision of medical treatment for malnourished children with moderate and severe acute with medical complications and if permission is allowed from the health authority, a comprehensive inpatient therapeutic programme ( ITP ) will be implemented in Thet Kal Pyin Station Hospital. In line with the protection sector, mine risk education is to be provided as an awareness to the MERCY Malaysia Myanmar staff, IDPs, and vulnerable people in Sittwe township while implementing both nutrition and health clusters in the form of training provided by Mine Advisory Group. The project is designed to ensure the Internally Displaced People and vulnerable people located in Sittwe Township have continuous access to essential health and nutrition care including COVID-19 awareness and prevention and mine risk education.
Integrative of inclusive rehabilitation, nutrition and protection services in crises affected communities of Rakhine State The goal of the project is to enhance and provide quality care with more integrated nutrition and protection services to the crisis effected communities in Rakhine state. The support will target at the most vulnerable populations   from both the Internally Displaced Camps and the Host Communities and villages in Sittwe township. The total number of populations targeted is 3,248 direct beneficiaries (men-817, women-1897, boy-267, girl-267) and 14,313 indirect beneficiaries 3930 men, 4240 women, 2968 boys and 3175 girls). 
Under nutrition sector, HI will provide Stimulative Physiotherapy to those identified under 5 children with Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) to prevent developmental delay. Besides, HI will provide training to  caregivers on age-appropriate stimulative playing therapy to reduce development delay in malnourished children. HI will also organize community awareness sessions with pregnant and lactating women and nutrition camp-based staff on topics linked with malnutrition, developmental delay, and disability. Renovation of Stimulative Physiotherapy (SPT) rooms at Integrated Nutrition Centers (INC) supported by ACF, will be used to provide associated support to ensure easy access to services of persons with disabilities to services.
Under the protection sector, the services will be mainly focused on mainstreaming disability and Mine Risk Education (MRE). HI will provide MRE training to staff, community workers and humanitarian actors for effective usage of disability inclusion perspective and MRE knowledges and skills to improve during service provision. HI will conduct awareness session on disability inclusion in communities and disability inclusion training to humanitarian actors.
In order to ensure accountability towards the beneficiaries, HI will strengthen existing Feedback Complaint Mechanism, prioritizing project aiming beneficiaries covered by the project. In nutshell, project will strengthen the resilience of highly vulnerable persons (girls, women, boys and men) with disabilities (girls, women, boys and men) who are living in the project areas. An intersectional approach will be adopted focusing on gender, age, disability and other factors in particular displacement, ethnicity and religion to understand how these factors intersect and create vulnerability in order to target the most at risk vulnerable people especially among at risk including women, men and children with disabilities and isolated persons with disabilities who are at greater protection risk of violence. The proposed activities will ensure the continuation of previous MHF programs (MM-21/DDA-3415/SA1/H-P-N/INGO/18657, ending in October 2022), allowing HI to keep the capacity to respond to high needs without overlapping the activities between different projects.
Expanding assistance to people in need in hard-to-reach and under-served areas in Southeast region This emergency response addresses to the suffering conflict affected 3925 men, 4136 women, 1108 boys and 1541 girls who are living at 66 IDPs Camps in Kyauk Gyi, Bago (Southeast region) . Planed emergency response will be worked for the 20th of Oct 2022 to 19th of May, 2023. In terms of constraint of accessibility in responses, this proposed project mainly focus on accessing to Nutrition, Food Security and WASH inclusiveness of conflict affected IDPs in Camps of Southeast region to saving life.
Nutrition: For the Nutrition activity, MCCT (Maternal and Child Cash Transfer) will be implemented in supporting cash for three times in project period to conflict affected 1289 Pregnant and Lactating women to be established from malnutrition.
Food Security: This Food Security mainly aims to provide basic food assistance for life-saving to the conflict-affected Internal Displaced people from 66 camps for 10710 affected IDPs in Southeast region. (3 time in two months), through cash transfer modality with “cash in envelop”, to meet their basis food needs with a period of 3 month (covering November 2022 to January 2023). 
WASH: WASH intervention will be implemented 66 IDPs sites in Kyauk Gyi, Bago (Southeast region) where the needs of the people are critical. The activities of WASH will promote safety and sufficient and to improve sanitation facilities. In addition, the hygiene promotion and behaviour change activities will be conducted in the targeted camps.
Multi-Sectoral Needs Assessment (MSNA) for Evidence-Based Aid Planning and Delivery in Myanmar Myanmar is currently facing a multi-faceted crisis characterized by armed conflict, inter-communal tensions and vulnerability to natural hazards, further complicated by the ongoing outbreak of COVID-19 and the impacts of the February 1st coup.

In order to meet the evolving information needs of humanitarian actors – including Clusters, UN agencies, NGOs and civil society organisations – REACH, in collaboration with UN OCHA proposes to conduct a Multi-Sector Needs Assessment (MSNA) in order to inform the 2023 Humanitarian Programme Cycle (HPC) process. REACH was formed in 2010 as a joint initiative of ACTED, its global partner IMPACT Initiatives (IMPACT), and UNOSAT, in order to promote and facilitate the development of information products that enhance the humanitarian community’s decision-making and planning capacity. IMPACT is programmatic lead of the initiative, in charge of all strategic and programmatic oversight, the HR management of REACH international staff as well as of dissemination and external relations at the global level for REACH. As sister organizations and global partners, IMPACT and ACTED coordinate on field implementation. In all field operations of IMPACT/REACH programs, ACTED provides operational support (country registration, office space, accommodation, cars, national HR recruitment, security). A global MoU between the two organisations governs this partnership, with specific financial reporting requirements and internal reporting deadlines to be agreed and formalised through a project specific agreement. For the proposed action ACTED will be grant holder and will therefore proceed with signing a sub-agreement with IMPACT following signature of the contract between ACTED and OCHA. For the duration of the grant’s implementation, REACH will be operating remotely from Bangkok.
The assessment will consist of a multi-sectoral quantitative household (HH) survey across all 15 States and Regions of Myanmar, and is expected to include key clusters including Education, Food Security, Health, Nutrition, Protection, Shelter/Non-Food Item (NFI)/Camp Coordination and Camp Management(CCCM), and Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH), as well as other cross-cutting issues, including Accountability to Affected Populations (AAP) and Disability.

REACH will lead the overall technical implementation of the MSNA and provide oversight to each phase of the MSNA research cycle including: research design, data collection, cleaning, processing, joint inter-sectoral analysis of MSNA data and production of outputs including:
- A Terms of Reference (TOR)
- A Data Analysis Plan (DAP)
- 1 final (clean) household MSNA dataset
- 1 disaggregated descriptive statistics
- 1 preliminary findings presentation

Further outputs will be created outside of this grant period under additional co-funding.

The MSNA will therefore provide data that will directly inform the 2023 Humanitarian Needs Overview (HNO)/Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP), fulfilling Core Commitment 5 of the Grand Bargain through the conduct of a joint, impartial, and collaborative needs assessment.
Extend assistance to people in need in hard-to-reach and under-served
areas in Kachin state The humanitarian response project is designed to provide immediate relief support to the IDPs who are affected by the armed conflict in Waing Maw and Hpakan township in Kachin State.   The Project planned to target ( Men- 5,205, Women- 6,099, Boy- 4,006, Girl- 4,441, Total- of 19,751)     to support the most Marginalized displaced population and host communities. The response mainly focuses on food security, Shelter, Protection, Health, Nutrition, and continued access to Education. 
The multi-sector approach is urgently needed to save the lives of the children, women, and men    ( Men- 5,205, Women- 6,099, Boy- 4,006, Girls- 4,441, Total- 19,751    )    in Kachin State in Myanmar. As the conflict spread out across the country, millions of People are displaced across the country and likely to increase the Population in the coming months.
KBC will work with the Local churches and communities to reach the displaced person and support the critical needs of the IDPs: Health, Food Security, Nutrition, Education, Livelihood support, Protection, and CCCM/Shelter As the Local communities are now hosted in the Churches compound and are provided with their basic needs to cover the urgent need of the Population for a few weeks. Unfortunately, local churches are facing the challenges and limitation to support the displaced population with the church donation after one or two weeks. This project will support the IDPs and save the life of the children and women who have suffered the most during this conflict.
Humanitarian Supports for Conflict Affected Population in Kachin State. The humanitarian situation remains challenging with immense acute humanitarian needs in protracted displacement resulted from the 11-year long intensified conflict in Kachin States causing a crisis of human suffering and loss of dignity for civilians. It is further compounded by the outbreak of Covid-19 pandamic and political situation from the beginning of 2021. Accessing this MHF first standard allocation for 2022 will enable Metta to continue and expand our humanitarian response in Moemauk Township in Kachin State. The project’s goal reflects Metta commitment to address gaps and immediate humanitarian needs of people facing temporary and protracted displacement, while pre-positioning capabilities and resources to quickly and effectively respond to urgent needs. 
The activities to be undertaken as part of this project include interventions in priority clusters of Shelter/NFI, Food security and WASH.

WASH: Hygiene kits including and Menstrural hygiene management (MHM) kits will be supported to 2,956 persons (830 male, 920 female, 577 boys, 629 girls) at 2 targeted camps in Momauk Townships  in Kachin State. 
Metta will support maintenance of WASH facilities including desludging of latrines, managing of wastewater, in 4 WASH target camp in Kachin State.
Metta plan to conduct 6 Hygiene promotion sessions at 3 camps with 30 persons/session. 

Shelter and NIF: Total of 157 Units of shelter will be renovated in Momauk Township in Kachin State as needed. Consultation with the IDPs families whose shelter need repair will be carried out and prioritization will be made in consultation with the camp management committees. 
Cash will be provided to 500 persons (124 men, 136 women, 110 boys and 130 girls) for NIF who are displaced due to insecurity in Momauk in Kachin States. If supporting of cash is not possible, in kind NFI (such as beddings, clothing, cooking utensils, etc) based on the needs will be supported.

Food Security: A total of 1,000 persons IDPs affected by conflict will be provided with emergency Food assistance includes rice, pulses, cooking oil and salt will be provided to cover emergency food need in Momauk Townships. Effort will be made to provide cash assistance at the ratae of 20,000 MMK/person/month. In kind support will be provided when cash assistance is not possible. The amounts of these food items distributed to each IDPs will be based on WFP / SPHERE standards: minimum of 2,100 Kcal per day.
Lifesaving Multisectoral assistance to conflict-affected populations in hard-to-reach and under-served locations of Sagaing and Magway Regions, Myanmar Sagaing and Magway are among the Regions the most affected by the consequences of the February 2021 coup. Indeed, Sagaing Region represents the most active area of the country opposing the de-facto authorities forces and a growing array of local People’s Defense Forces (PDFs) and is therefore recording the highest number of IDPs (670,800) nationwide, followed by Magway (137,400). 

Considering the priority needs, the proposed project follows an emergency programming strategy aimed at extending WASH, Food and Shelter/NFIs assistance to people in need in hard-to-reach and under-served areas, more precisely in Pale, Tabayin, Kale, Budalin, Yinmarbin (Sagaing) and Saw (Magway). The Consortium will nonetheless remain flexible and may target part of or all the aforesaid townships in Sagaing depending on the conflict’s evolution and access conditions or consider extending the project geographical scope.

SOLIDARITES INTERNATIONAL (SI) partnered with two key local actors, Ar Yone Oo Social Development Association (AYO) and Khonumzung Rural Development Organization (KRDO). While KRDO will operate in Saw township (Magway), AYO will be able to cover the 5 targeted townships of Sagaing and will complement KRDO activities with WASH in Saw Township, Magway.

Secondary data (WASH Cluster, IOM) and primary data collected by SI’s partners during the past year revealed that food was the top priority followed by NFI, shelter and WASH needs for people affected by conflict and clashes in Sagaing and Magway. Therefore, in this context of restrained access, the project has been designed to provide multi-sectoral packages, prioritizing IDPs, maximizing the use of every window of opportunity that opens to deliver assistance. Considering the scale of displacements and resulting multi-sectoral needs, the project will primarily focus on emergency responses to displacements covering between 1 month to 3 months of conflict-affected people basic needs (WASH, Shelter/NFI, Food) on top of mine risk education. The programmatic approach is three-fold aiming 1) at improving equitable and safe access to basic water and sanitation facilities as well as good hygiene practices, 2) at improving IDPs’ living conditions, protection privacy and dignity and 3) intended to improve access to food. Under the lead of SI, AYO and KRDO will monitor displacements and the gaps in displacement sites to deploy their team and carry out multi-sectoral interventions in different villages/sites within the targeted townships. Each intervention will be preceded by a needs assessment that will inform the design of the response.

During this 12-month project, the Consortium will be able to carry out several interventions of different sizes, targeting predominantly IDPs and covering the emergency WASH, Shelter/NFIs and Food needs of 6,550 conflict-affected people while mainstreaming protection, gender, disability and PSEA.
Provision of lifesaving health and nutrition interventions integrated with gender-based violence (GBV) and mental health psychosocial support (MHPSS) services for Internally Displaced People (IDP) and the host communities in Sittwe, Kyauktaw, and Mrauk-U in Rakhine State The Nutrition program in Rakhine is seriously underfunded and there is a risk of service interruption for nearly 1,000 severely acute malnourished (SAM) children in early 2023. This project is designed to prevent that risk and to allow vulnerable children from IDP camps and their host communities to have uninterrupted access to nutrition services. The project will not only provide quality treatment to SAM children but also prevent visible and invisible malnutrition in the targeted communities through ACF and MHAA, active UNICEF partners who have the in-house capacity and currently running nutrition interventions in Sittwe, Kyauktaw, and Mrauk-U townships. (both partners have treated over 1,200 cases of Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) since the beginning of 2022).
 
ACF will cover 13 protracted IDP camps and 37 villages in Sittwe while MHAA will cover nine IDP sites and 25 hard-to-reach villages in Kyauktaw and Mrauk U. Based on the different context between the targeted townships, ACF's operations will be centered on fixed Integrated Nutrition Centers (INC) and MHAA will use mobile team and community-based health workers (CBHW). The project is also designed to complement health care needs for the targeted populations by providing pregnancy care, treatment of common illnesses such as diarrhea and pneumonia, and referral support for patients who are unable to receive assistance from other programs. 
 
This project will also ensure that mental health psychosocial support (MHPSS) activities are continued for the children and caregivers in Sittwe and will make sure the partners mainstream gender and disability inclusion in the program implementation. Some urgently needed trainings are planned to strengthen the capacity of medical personnel on clinical management and care for GBV survivors and to maintain the quality of basic health staff (BHS) and CBHW on the management of acute malnutrition and common health problems in a humanitarian setting.  

 The proposed project will complement UNICEF’s ongoing support for humanitarian response and scale up nutrition, health, and child protection services through partners to have timely responses and ensure the availability of critical social services in those areas. As the lead technical agency, UNICEF has planned to enhance partners' capacities to provide integrated services as per national guidelines and standards. The cluster coordination mechanism will be strengthened to ensure coordinated and harmonized emergency response in collaboration with partners.
