Action for strengthened institutions, communities and systems in Myanmar Building on the experience from previous Myanmar Consortium for Community Resilience (MCCR) projects funded by European Commission Humanitarian Office (ECHO), the proposed action aims to strengthen capacities and systems at both the institutional and community levels in Myanmar. The action has resilience building at its core since all activities are ultimately oriented towards building the awareness, knowledge, skills and capacity of institutions and communities vulnerable to disaster and conflict risks. The proposed activities will be conducted in vulnerable and disaster prone urban areas of Yangon and Mandalay, and in conflict affected and hazard prone areas in Rakhine State, directly benefiting 784,945 individuals and 65 organisations. Within these areas, the action seeks to strengthen local capacities to prepare for, cope and recover quickly from shocks caused by natural hazards and wider conflict risks within communities and to support institutions and the Government of Myanmar to manage disaster risk in line with local, regional and national policies and frameworks. This disaster preparedness approach will be reinforced and inter -linked through information sharing and awareness raising at both community, township, state and national levels. This multi -faceted approach to the complex challenges, risks and concerns within these communities will be addressed through locally driven responses that are by their nature and design participatory and inclusive. The strength of this approach also lies in active participation within a long -standing consortium, drawing on the experience of 4 International Non -Governmental Organisations (NGOs), 1 United Nations (UN) Agency and 1 International Organisation with complementary areas of technical expertise and in -depth knowledge of the areas of intervention, enabling a comprehensive project.

Emergency Response to Flash Floods in Magway Region, Myanmar Flash floods in Magway Division in the heart of Myanmar's Dry Zone caused serious destruction in four townships, as well as loss of life and livelihoods. This is an extremely poor and marginal area, where the population is unused and has very limited capacities to cope with the impacts of acute disasters. The objective of this project is to contribute to restoring immediate food security and a safe public health environment in two affected townships of Magway region, and to facilitate the transition into early recovery and the building of community resilience to disasters.
Action for Accountability Research Project Empowerment and accountability, citizen and state, are deeply contested terms in Myanmar. This contestation goes to the heart of the governance challenge in present day Myanmar. With conflicting sources of public authority, a longstanding protracted conflict and a rapid but incomplete democratic transition, governance is in a state of flux and notions such as the social contract hold limited relevance as understood in mainstream governance literature. There is also evidence that "rights" per se, a fundamental concept to the notion of the social contract and accountability are understood in diverse ways by people in Myanmar. In addition, governance and conflict are intrinsically interwoven in Myanmar, with fragmentation of trust being a defining factor in both arenas. This raises the critical need to unpack peoples' notions of rights and expectations around accountability (from both the public and duty bearer sides) in order to better understand the spaces within which Social, Political and Economic Action (SPEA) for empowerment and accountability are happening.  The overall objective will be to deliver research outputs that not only answer key Empowerment & Accountability (E&A) related questions in Myanmar but also facilitate a new model of governance programming that is iterative, adaptive and politically grounded. The research will also draw on a range of other Oxfam in Myanmar programming related to governance, influencing and accountability across multiple sectors, including economic justice with a governance approach and women's transformative leadership.

Facilitating a responsible operational exit from Nargis affected communities The project will work with VDCs established in all 43 villages under post -Nargis livelihoods recovery work. It de -emphasises the role of these bodies in receiving & managing assistance & material assets. Rather this project will emphasise our role in facilitating a broader governance mandate of the groups and the role they can play in relating more effectively within & between villages and with the relevant government & private sector service providers. It also sets out deliberately to assist staff to recognise the skills acquired over time & provide them with space to document experiences and understanding their role in facilitating change.
Tat Lan Food Security and Livelihood Program in Myanamar (Phase II) The project will be implemented in 62 villages: the majority of the project activities support communities to ‘hang -in', empowering them to raise their voices to get their development needs met, and contributing to preparing them to protect their livelihoods and assets as the Special Economic Zone (SEZ) development occurs.  The project also creates evidence to support communities to be able to ‘set out' in the future once the SEZ is developed, by mapping local skills, and researching for examples of good practice industrialization projects that can benefit local communities.  Communities will be empowered to raise their voice to local government actors through the project, evidence from research and information on best practice will be presented at the union level to key stakeholders so that there is a conversation at both levels on investment practices, community development and sustainable livelihoods.
Emergency Food Security response for NGCA-Kachin (ECHO) Result 1; focuses on providing essential food needs to the six hard to reach camps in the Non Government Control Areas (NGCA) which are not covered by World Food Programme (WFP) under their food distribution. Food distribution is still the only way to respond to the needs of these target camps. Due to the fact that they are far from any safe local markets and that those camps are small and separated from each other, provision of unconditional cash grants proved to be inefficient and livelihood opportunities remain very limited. In addition, all camps have limitations for large scale gardening due to insufficient space, steep terrain, rocky ground or high elevation. Hence they remain highly dependent on external support for food. The support to food distribution (food aid) for a period of 4 months and 4 months for cash/voucher is anticipated to increase individual/household food intake, diversify households diet and increase the number of meals consumed per day for both households and individual members.  Result 2; seeks to identify alternatives response options ( Cash/Voucher) against continuous food provision for the 9000 people in the six hard to reach camps.
