Meeting the critical needs of displaced people through multi-sector humanitarian assistance in Kachin and northern Shan states. The humanitarian situation in Kachin State and northern Shan State remains critical. Accessing this MHF second standard allocation for 2019 will enable Metta to continue and expand our humanitarian response in government controlled areas of Kachin and northern Shan states, as well as ensuring that WPN and KRDC are able to address the needs of IDPs in non-government controlled areas of Kachin state. The project’s goal reflects Metta’s commitment to address gaps and immediate needs of people facing temporary and protracted displacement, while pre-positioning capabilities and resources to quickly and effectively respond to food security needs in the case of a sudden-onset humanitarian emergency. The activities to be undertaken as part of this project include interventions in priority clusters Shelter and NFIs, WASH, Food Security, and EiE.
Metta will be implementing activities Shelter/NFI, WASH, EiE, and emergency Food Security activities in Kachin and northern Shan state Township consistent with the priority location identified in the Second Allocation strategy. In Shan State, Metta will implement WASH activities in Namtu, Hseni and Kutkai Townships and will implement EiE activities in Mantone, Namtu, Hseni and Kutkai Townships. In Kachin State, Metta will implement Shelter/NFI activities in Mogaung and Tanai Townships and EiE activities Hpakant, Mogaung. Myitkyina, Tanai, Waingmaw, Bamaw, Momauk, Mansi, and Shwegu townships. If a humanitarian crises arises, Metta will implement emergency Food Security activities in any of the following townships: Bhamo, Chipwi, Mansi, Momauk, Myitkyina, Shwegu, Sumprabum and Waingmaw.
WPN will implement WASH and Shelter/NFI activities in Nhkawng Pa camp and Pa Kahtawng camp in Momauk Township, Kachin State. KRDC will implement WASH and Shelter/NFI activities in Lana Zup Ja new camp in Mansi Township, Kachin State. 
While we understand that Mansi Township is not prioritized for Shelter/NFI cluster activities in the Second Allocation, we are requesting that an exception be made to allow KRDC to implement a limited scope of Shelter/NFI activities in Lana Zup Ja New camp. KRDC has made a proposal to implement both WASH and Shelter/NFI activities in Lana Zup Ja New camp, Mansi Township, Kachin State due to the critical humanitarian need in the camp. Very few organizations are working in Mansi Township, which is remote and difficult to access, but KRDC is well-placed to work there. Many of the existing shelters in Lana Zup Ja old camp were built with bamboo nearly eight years ago at the beginning of the conflict, and are now in need of repair or of being replaced. Many of the semi-permanent long building shared shelters are overcrowded, and the CCCM has identified the need to construct more family shelters to provide greater privacy and security. The CCCM has identified 150 households in need of family shelters, but KRDC has proposed to build 42 new family shelters to start addressing this gap. This activity will be continuation of the previous intervention funded by MHF project no.11313.
Shelter and NFIs cluster activities include: Constructing 42 new family shelters in Lana Zup Ja New camp, Mansi Township in Kachin State (Activity 1.1.1) Constructing 50 new family shelters in Pakahtawng camp, Momauk Township in Kachin State (Activity 1.1.2) and Distributing non-food items (cooking utensils, bedding, clothing, farming tools, personal hygiene supplies) in kind or equivalent cash for internally displaced people (1,000 HHs) in order to fill the need gap in Mogaung and Tanai Townships in Kachin State (Activity 1.2.1). The Shelter and NFIs activities will reach a total of 5,564 beneficiaries. (M-1455, W-1731, B-1229, G-1149).
