2016 Plan Summary
The changing political and operational contexts in Myanmar continue to affect the lives of people of concern. In addition, the general election in November 2015 and ensuing political landscape are expected to further affect UNHCR’s operations and populations of concern.
For the stateless population and internally displaced people (IDPs) in Rakhine state, UNHCR will continue to focus on addressing protection concerns arising from displacement and statelessness, and to deliver services to respond to immediate humanitarian needs. UNHCR will also continue its humanitarian response to the IDP situation in Kachin and northern Shan states.
In the south-eastern border areas, UNHCR stands ready to support the Government and affected communities to facilitate the return of refugees who are currently residing in Thailand, provided conditions are conducive for safe and dignified return.
A funding shortfall will prevent UNHCR from meeting even the minimum needs of its assisted population. As an example, camp management and coordination support for approximately 175,000 IDPs in Rakhine, Kachin and northern Shan states will be put in jeopardy.
