August 2021
Highlights
- The 1 February military takeover, coupled with the state of emergency and ongoing nationwide protests/demonstrations against the takeover, has resulted in the resurgence of violence that caused new displacement and additional needs, including emergency Shelter & NFIs, for conflict affected internally displaced people dwelling in camps, displacement sites and camp-like settings in Myanmar.
- In addition to the security situation and further displacement, access constraints, the banking crisis and underfunding continue to remain a critical challenge for the Shelter/NFI/CCCM Cluster and its partners.
- To address needs for 2021, the cluster appealed for $36.8M for Shelter/NFI/CCCM activities under the HRP (pre-military takeover). So far, only 7.8% of the clusters’ financial ask has been funded. An HRP addendum has been published on 1 July with an additional ask of $8.6 million for Shelter/NFI/CCCM activities in areas that are currently not covered under the HRP.
