Myanmar is one of the countries at highest risk of natural hazards in Southeast Asia. Displacement has continued into 2018 with continued population movement from Rakhine State to Bangladesh, and armed clashes in Kachin and Shan States. In addition, the challenges faced by women are particularly pronounced in remote and conflict-affected areas, where women and girls are exposed to various forms of gender-based violence, trafficking and discrimination, including customary laws that inhibit land tenure, property ownership and inheritance. UNFPA supports a government-led Reproductive Health Technical working group at national level and the sexual and reproductive health working group (will be formally activated soon) in Rakhine.
Results data are reported and updated as they become available.
- Targets and UNFPA's populations of concern, including women of reproductive age and pregnant women, are estimated using the MISP calculator.
- Funding estimates are based on country planning processes, including inter-agency humanitarian response plans and regional refugee and resilience plans.
L1: Humanitarian crises in which the national and international resources available in the affected country are sufficient for the required response.
L2: Humanitarian crises requiring significant support from neighbouring countries, regional organizations and possibly humanitarian agency headquarters.
L3: Major, sudden-onset humanitarian crises requiring mobilization across the humanitarian system.
Crisis levels are determined by the Inter-Agency Standing Committee, a forum of UN and non-UN humanitarian partners.
