Improving protection conditions and access to services for displaced people and host communities in Rakhine State. This project will contribute to the overall objective: “vulnerable conflict and displacement-affected people have access to protection and assistance". This objective will be achieved through the implementation of NRC’s Information, Counselling and Legal Assistance (ICLA) program, specifically on Housing, Land and Property (HLP) rights protection, with a particular focus on increasing access to tailored HLP rights information, counselling and legal assistance. 

This project will be implemented in Northwest Myanmar in Rakhine State (Sittwe township). The project has been designed to respond to the context, needs and gaps identified by the Myanmar HRP, inter-agency coordination and NRC’s HLP assessments. NRC will target IDPs living in camps and out-of-camps, along with conflict-affected host communities in Sittwe Township.
  
This project, delivered through direct implementation, will build on the existing operational and technical capacities of NRC related to HLP in displacement contexts within Rakhine State and will enable NRC to scale-up existing activities to meet unmet needs and gaps. Learnings and expertise from HLP interventions by NRC throughout Myanmar and globally will also feed into the project.

NRC, in implementing this project, will continue to coordinate with the relevant Clusters/Working Groups at the national and sub-national levels. This will include multi-sectoral integration on CCCM, WASH, shelter and protection. 

Furthermore, NRC has experience of successfully implementing MHF projects in Northwest Myanmar and will utilize this experience in implementing this project through multi-sectoral integration.

Activities to support HLP rights protection and access to services for IDPs and host communities will directly benefit 1000 individuals (62% females, 38% males), including 2.5% people with disabilities.
Providing food assistance to the critical unmet humanitarian needs of the displaced people women, men, girls and boys resulting from the ongoing protracted crises in Non-government-controlled areas in Kachin Providing food assistance to the critical unmet humanitarian needs of the displaced people women, men, girls and boys resulting from the ongoing protracted crises in Non-government controlled areas in Kachin will be   for 1st Oct 2019 to 31st Jul 2020. 
This proposal aims to respond to the critical unmet humanitarian needs of the displaced people and host communities resulting from the ongoing protracted crises across Myanmar, mostly in Kachin.Food assistance for live-saving in seven camps   from Waingmaw, Chiphwi and Sumpra Bum Townships to enhance the capacity of targeted vulnerable people to access sufficient, diversified and nutritious food, leading to positive coping mechanisms and adequate ability to meet basic needs. 

All camps are located in Non-Government-Controlled Areas, which are Salang Yang and Ndup Yang (Sumpra bum Township), Sha-it Yang, Maga Yang, Hkau shau and Pajau (Waingmaw Township), and Hpare (Chiphwi Township). 

KBC has been providing Humanitarian assistance to Salang Yang and Ndup Yang camps, located in Sumpra bum Township which population are 870 in total (Total HH-178, Men-231, Women-222, Boys-210 and Girls 207), since 2015 and will continue to provide food and cash distribution for eight months to those two camps through this project. 

The rest five targeted camps, which are Sha-it Yang, Maga Yang, Hkau Shau and Pajau camps (Waingmaw Township), and Hpare BP6 camp from Chipwi Township, are located along the China Border controlled by KIA. KBC has been providing food and cash distribution to those five camps since 2012 through ECHO fund partnership with OXFAM. There is always an occurrence of food gap every year for 3 months between March and May. KBC will be providing 3 months of food and cash assistance to those 5 camps from Waingmaw and Chipwi Townships through this MHF funding, in order to cover the aforementioned gap. KBC will also be providing all in-kind distribution, which includes rice, oil, salt and pulse, in Hkau Shau camp alone while other four camps are provided food and cash assistance. This assistance will be covered the needs of a total of 5750 IDPs (Total HH-1283, Men-1516, Women-1906, Boys-1181 and Girls-1147).
Reducing the threat of landmines and ERW in Northern Shan The conflict and displacement context in Northern Shan State (NSS) remains complex and fluid. While late 2018 and early 2019 saw widespread fighting across both western and eastern areas of Northern Shan, more recent events have impacted conflict dynamics.  A bilateral agreement signed between the Shan State Progressive Party (SSPP) and Restoration Council of Shan State (RCSS) in March, and a unilateral ceasefire from the Tatmadaw in force through 31 August, has reduced fighting and related displacements in the southwestern townships of NSS. However, the situation remains volatile, particularly in the northeast areas of NSS, as clashes have continued among armed groups as recently as July 2019. Localized conflict is expected to be a common occurrence in the immediate future and the legacy of years of conflict will continue to pose a threat to communities for years to come. Furthermore, nearly 100,000 people have remain displaced in the IDP camps in Kachin and Northern Shan. Despite the government’s plan to close the camps, no durable, long-term solutions have been identified and put forward to ensure safe, dignified, and voluntary returns. This includes reducing the threat of extensive landmine contamination, which has been and continues to be a major impediment to people leaving the camps. Thus, the threat of landmines remains as acute as ever, for both displaced and host communities, and mine action continues to be a critical component to providing protection to highly vulnerable people.

To address this protection threat, DCA-NCA will partner with Ta’ang Students and Youth Union (TSYU) and HALO Trust (who in turn, will provide sub-agreements to partners Shan State Youth Capacity Building Center (SSYCBC) and Never End Tomorrow (NET)) to deliver life-saving protection services. The project’s expected outcomes are: 1) Conflict-affected communities in Northern Shan are mobilized to protect themselves against the threat of landmines and ERW, and 2) Landmine survivors receive immediate, appropriate and comprehensive support based on their needs. The project will reach 32,782 people through mine risk education (MRE), psychosocial support (PSS) and cash assistance to landmine survivors to seek medical treatment. The project is strategically and programmatically relevant, contributing to the allocation strategy and the Protection Sector objectives laid out in the 2019 Humanitarian Response Plan, through provision of inclusive protection services and strengthening resilience among communities to cope with the threat of landmines. The project will aim to maximize accountability to the affected population by having a robust feedback system in place to ensure concerns are addressed, activities are adapted when needed, and improving inclusion of women and people with disabilities in the program.
Responding to Critical EiE, Child Protection and WASH Needs of IDPs, Returnees and Other Vulnerable Conflict-affected Communities in Kachin State The project, meant as continuation of ongoing PIN/KBC-implemented MHF project, responds to critical education, child protection and WASH needs in the IDP camps of both Non-Government Controlled Areas (NGCA) and Government Controlled Areas (GCA) of Kachin State (see an overview uploaded under the Document tab), as well as in the communities that experience voluntary returns albeit still in limited scale. The WASH and child protection response is integrated in the education in emergencies (EiE) intervention. The project activities include gap-filling emergency provision of student kits, school supplies, cash for education (in case of Grade 9 and 10 students), volunteer teacher subsistence enabling them to focus on their teaching related tasks and learning as well as strengthening their capacities. The project will rehabilitate learning spaces and provide improved access to WASH in schools. Emergency mental health and psychosocial services (MHPSS) will be mainstreamed and community/school-based mechanisms to prevent and respond to child abuse and violations will be strengthened.

Apart from providing direct support, the project will support the EiE sector priorities for Kachin State such as the standardization process as well as support to data acquisition/analysis of EiE vulnerabilities  / humanitarian consequences in NGCAs in support to the new HNO/HRP process. The project is designed to contribute to humanitarian-development-peace nexus and is part of the larger PIN program in Kachin State along these lines.
Increasing Food Security of Vulnerable Population in Northern Rakhine State People in Need’s (PIN) 10-month project is going to contribute to the alleviation of suffering of displaced Rohingya and their hosting communities as well as other vulnerable people in Buthidaung and Maungdaw Townships. The proposed project is addressing the urgent needs emerging from the fact that the Northern Rakhine communities remain subject to serious restrictions concerning their freedom of movement, compacted by the effects of the ongoing-armed conflict between the Arakan Army and Tatmadaw, posing limitations to access their livelihoods as well as to market for food, and other essential items/services. The project will strive to meet people’s immediate needs tackling limited access to food and inadequate availability of diversified foods while promoting nutritional improvements. The activities, in line with the Allocation Strategy priorities, include Emergency agriculture and non-agriculture livelihoods programs promoting gender-transformative and non-household based activities, such as fuel efficient cook stove and fuel briquette production training livestock feed production training dehydrated food processing and packaging nutrition sensitive home gardening sewing and tailoring training and provision of sewing equipment as well as emergency agriculture and aquaculture inputs in the form of distribution of fish fingerlings and small-scale fish pond development to support the fishery and aquaculture production and productivity. Moreover, it will provide emergency cash interventions as cash for work for the rehabilitation and enhancement of community productive assets (road, mini-dam, irrigation) contributing also to more long term resilience and humanitarian-development-peace nexus. Given women’s traditional role in livelihoods and food security, the project will prioritize female-headed households, mainstream their protection into all stages of the project cycle and pay special attention to their vulnerabilities to maximize the impact of project activities for them PIN will implement this project in partnership with MHDO that has secured access to the proposed target villages. While MHDO will be responsible for on-site implementation of activities, PIN will ensure proper planning, coordination and information sharing to avoid gaps or duplication, partner’s training, MampE, AAP, project quality and reporting. The project builds upon existing collaboration and partnership of the two organizations in Northern Rakhine State and elsewhere.
Increasing accessibility to Primary, Secondary, Maternal  Child Health Care and Menstrual Hygiene Management Services in the  Sittwe Camps The project aims to assist the communities of the Sittwe camp compound and the State Health Department (SHD) by (a) continuing the current 24/7 services in Thet Kel Pyin Sub Rural Health Center (TKP-SRHC), alongside increasing the capacity of the staff who serve there (b) the provision of maternal and child health services (c) the provision of delivery support to encourage women to give birth safely at TKP-SRHC as opposed to delivering at home (d) filling in the gaps of access to health in the Sittwe IDP camps via provision of Primary Health Care clinics, (e) the revitalization of Darpaing Rural Health Center and (f) Menstrual Hygiene Management services for women and girls in the camps. 

The project is designed to ensure that communities living within the camps are able to receive medical care, including primary health care and life saving reproductive health care as well as be referred to Sittwe General Hospital if needed.
Improving access to essential health services and protecting food security and livelihoods for conflict and flood affected male and female population in Kayin State The project is a health sector intervention aiming at providing humanitarian assistance, healthcare and basic services to the displaced, resettled, and locally integrated population residing in hard-to-reach population of the Hlaingbwe township in Kayin. Rescue and Myat Saydana Base will provide community organizing and referral services. Furthermore, this project caters to the households and people affected due to floods, by a food security intervention wherein cash transfers will be administered in Kawkereik and Kyainseikgyi townships of Kayin. Finally it is to find out missing info in most vulnerable and floods and conflicts affected areas in hard to reach and NGCA areas of all Kayin region, in partnership with KDHW EHO.

As the First Standard Allocation support multisector interventions in south-eastern Myanmar, PUI’s intervention will focus on bringing health care to displaced people, including men, women, boys and girls in the Myaing Gyi Ngu Camp (located in the Hlaingbwe township) and food security to 1flood affected farmers and households, including men, women in Kawkereik and Kyainseikgyi. Primary health care services, including sexual and reproductive health, menstrual hygiene management, clean delivery kits, and emergency referrals will be provided. Furthermore, protection mainstreaming for specific cases of GBV and MHPSS in the form of emergency referrals (based on the availability of stakeholders and consent/confidentiality of the beneficiaries) will be implemented. With an aim to prevent diseases and malnutrition, nutrition screening will be done for children under five years old, as well as distribution of hygiene kits. Food security in the mode of cash transfers will be implemented to the flood affected people. They will also receive in-kind support with the provision of basic tool kits.

Additionally, a situation analysis carried out by PUI and KDHW will be conducted to identify the specific needs in both GCA and NGCA, in order to improve humanitarian health information and access to health services in hard-to-reach areas   . This health situation analysis is visioned to be used as primary reference point for future projects implemented by PUI, as well as other organizations.
Improve the living conditions of persons with disabilities affected by displacements and conflicts in Kachin State, Myanmar In order to meet the proposed project objective, Humanity amp Inclusion (HI) will provide interventions at three levels, namely the individual, community and institutional level. At the individual level, HI and its partners will ensure that individual basic and specific needs of persons with disabilities and their caregivers in targeted areas are addressed in a comprehensive, participative and personalised way by providing integrated physical rehabilitation and psychosocial support. At the community level, HI and its partners will aim at empowering targeted communities to ensure meaningful participation of persons with disabilities in community affairs by establishing and/or strengthening Inclusion Focal Points (IFP), setting up peer support mechanisms and working with community actors to raise awareness and remove the barriers faced by persons with disabilities. Lastly, at the institutional level, HI will support willing humanitarian actors to ensure that the humanitarian assistance in targeted townships is more inclusive of persons with disabilities through technical guidance and strengthened referral pathways. By the end of September 2020, HI and its partners aim at reaching 1,059 persons with disabilities and their caregivers (1,059), 11,869 community actors (inclusion focal points, camp leaders and other community members) and 100 humanitarian actors.
Protecting Vulnerable People from the Impact of Mines/ERW in Northern Shan and Kachin states In line with the 2nd Standard Allocation Strategy for 2019, the Danish Refugee Council/Danish Demining Group proposes to implement its Mine Action activities in Kachin and Northern Shan States, focusing on the most vulnerable townships. The project will target Myitkina, Waingmaw, Moegaung, Chipwe, Tainai, Bhamo, Moemauk, Shwegu and Manci townships. In NSS, the focus will be on Namtu, Kutkai, Namhkan, Namhsan, Manton, Kyaukme townships. 

The project’s goal is to decrease the risk posed by landmines/Explosive Remnants of War (ERW) to vulnerable communities in Northern Shan and Kachin States. To achieve this goal, DRC will conduct four related activities:

1. Provision of Mine/Explosive Remnants of War Risk Education (Mine/ERW RE) sessions to communities in Kachin and Northern Shan, increasing their knowledge of mines/ERW and reducing their vulnerability to accidents caused by mines/ERW.
2. Community assessment, mapping and recording areas contaminated by mines/ERW in both states to support communities in managing risks, inform planning for returns, and create a comprehensive picture of contamination in the target areas in cooperation with other Mine Action actors.
3. Providing access to medical care for survivors of mine/ERW accidents through emergency assistance and support.
4. Facilitation of Training of Trainers (ToT) for schoolteachers, enabling them to deliver Mine/ERW RE in their settings and expanding the project into hard-to-reach areas where the risks are high due to ongoing conflict.
Provision of primary healthcare services for the displaced and host populations of Mrauk-U and Kyauktaw, Rakhine State An upsurge in fighting between the Myanmar Military and the Arakan Army (AA) following the attack on four police outposts by the AA in Buthidaung Township on 4 January 2019 has displaced around 30,000 people in seven townships of Rakhine State and one township of Chin State since the beginning of 2019, according to the Government1. There have also been reports of civilian casualties. This new displacement has further compounded the humanitarian situation in Rakhine, creating significant needs for those who have fled their homes and among communities hosting newly displaced people. These developments have also led to restrictions on humanitarian access to communities previously receiving assistance in affected areas. Humanitarian organizations estimate that over 71,000 people are in need of humanitarian assistance, including projected displacement until 30 June 2019.

This project aims to increase primary health care and basic maternal health care services to the displaced people and host communities of Mrauk-U and Kyauktaw via the provision of two mobile clinics.  Mobile teams will also provide referral support for patients who require further health treatment. 

The project will be done in close coordination and communication with the Rakhine State Government, Township medical offices of Kyauktaw and Mrauk-U, as well as the health cluster, protection cluster and other actors.
Myanmar HCFC Phase Out Management 2nd Tranche - -MYA/PHA/80/INV/19 With UN Environment, as the lead implementing agency, submitted to the 68th Meeting of the Executive Committee for the stage I of the HCFC phase-out management plan (HPMP). The Government is proposing to follow the Montreal Protocol schedule and adopt a staged approach to achieve a 35% reduction by 2020, complete phase-out by 2030 and a service tail to 2040. The reduction of controlled use of the ozone-depleting substances (ODS) set out in Appendix 1-A (#The Substances#) to a sustained level of 2.80 ODP tonnes prior to 1 January 2020 in compliance with Montreal Protocol schedules.
Myanmar: Strengthening the National Quality Infrastructure (NQI) for trade The National Quality Infrastructure (NQI) in Myanmar is underdeveloped and lacks the capacity required for a modern economy with food supply chains integrated into global food supply chains. With the exception of some food testing laboratories, there has been little investment in equipment and facilities in the last 30 years and this has in turn limited technical capacity building. The weakness in the NQI acts as a constraint on trade and export led growth. It also acts as a constraint on the development of value added food products and the diversification of food products and markets. This intervention is designed to address these weaknesses.  Existing capacity will be strengthened in four key food testing laboratories and training will also be provided to meet the requirements for accreditation to ISO 17025 for some key testing parameters. The MFPEA#s Food Industries Development Supporting Laboratory (FIDSL) will receive the bulk of support in terms of equipment as its mandate is to provide testing services to MFPEA members and it is in the best position to rapidly extend its range of testing services to exporters with support from this intervention. The cost accounting system in all the key food testing laboratories strengthened to international standards and support will be provided for business plan develo
Improvement of Industrial Energy Efficiency in Myanmar To promote sustained GHG emissions reduction in the Myanmar industry by improving policy and regulatory frameworks and institutional capacity building for industrial EE and the implementation of energy management systems (EnMS) based on ISO 50 001, and optimization of energy systems in industry. The project is designed with three inter-linked substantive components to maximize the impact of the offered technical assistance on improving energy efficiency within Myanmar industry.

Improving Myanmar#s entrepreneurial ecosystem to increase SME development and job creation for youth and women, Phase 1 The Ministry of Industry of Myanmar has expressed a high priority for the project Improving Myanmar#s entrepreneurial ecosystem to increase SME development and job creation for youth and women, Phase 1. It strongly echoes the country#s effort to align to the ASEAN Strategic Action Plan for MSMEs Development (SAPSMED 2016-2025), which created an aligned vision on MSME development and economic convergence for the ASEAN member states.  The Government recognizes the unmatched relevance of the technical assistance and expertise that the overall project builds upon.  This proposal will build the foundation for a larger project (ID 170024), focusing on more in-depth technical assistance and capacity building, which has already been approved by the Executive Board (13-17 July 2017), and is thus contextually and substantially in line. To ensure effective implementation of allocated funds, the donor has requested the development of a standalone project with a separate budget, work plan and M<(>&<)>E framework. However activities foreseen by this project will support the delivery of technical assistance foreseen in project ID 170024. The proposed project will allow for a better understanding of opportunities for SME development, as well as of the role of the public and private enablers, particularly for youth and women en
