OCHA Myanmar Humanitarian Fund (MHF)
With this contribution, Switzerland helps to ensure that crisis-affected/vulnerable women, men and children receive timely, targeted and life-saving assistance. The number of persons in need of immediate humanitarian relief assistance has been growing rapidly in Myanmar. The Myanmar Humanitarian Fund strives to rapidly respond to those new emergency needs, thanks to a good global overview of the needs and a logic of accessing hard to reach areas and neglected zones.

| Contesto | With the military coup of Feb. 2021 the already deteriorated socio-economic situation caused by the Covid-pandemic worsened further. A large part of the population adheres to the Civil Disobedience Movement (CDM) since the coup. In parallel, the Tatmadaw (military), old and new Armed Ethnic Organisations (EAO) and many newly founded factions of a People’s Defence Force (PDF) stepped up operations and attacks in all regions of the country, further exacerbating the humanitarian situation and reversing development gains. As of April 2022 there are a total of 912,700 IDPs in Myanmar, of which 566,000 since the coup. Overall vulnerability has increased, almost half the population is now considered poor and the Humanitarian Needs Overview (HNO) predictions for 2022 are of 13.9m people in need, 35% of which children. Fundamental rights are disregarded, the rule of law is undermined and impunity reigns. These issues come on top of Myanmar being one of the countries at highest risk of natural disasters in South East Asia. |
| Obiettivi | Crisis-affected/vulnerable women, men and children (boys and girls) have access to needs-based, targeted, timely and coordinated life-saving assistance and protection. |
| Gruppi target | Women and men, girls and boys affected by natural disaster or conflict across Myanmar |
