Agreement Value:
$900,000.00
Agreement Date:
Apr 3, 2019 - Mar 31, 2020
Description:
January 2019 - The humanitarian situation in Myanmar is characterized by a complex combination of vulnerability to natural disasters, armed conflict, inter-communal tension, statelessness and displacement. It is estimated that 941,000 crisis-affected women, men, girls and boys will be in need of humanitarian assistance this year. With GAC’s support, HOPE International Development Agency is increasing access to gender-responsive humanitarian assistance, and enhancing the use of sexual and reproductive health and protection services for internally displaced people (IDPs) in Kachin, Myanmar. Project activities include: (1) providing multi-purpose cash; (2) training women’s groups on sexual and gender based violence (SGBV) and promoting services available to survivors; (3) providing psychosocial support and referrals for SGBV services as needed; and (4) public advocacy and awareness sessions on gender-based violence, gender equality and sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR).
Organization:
Global Affairs Canada
Expected Results:

The expected outcomes for this project include: (1) increased equitable access for IDPs and returnees, particularly women, to appropriate health services, nutrition, safe shelter, livelihoods, non-food items (NFIs) and education, in Kachin, Myanmar; (2) improved access for IDPs to services for survivors of SGBV, particularly women and girls, in Kachin IDP camps; and (3) improved knowledge and awareness of IDPs and camp leaders about protection services, prevention, and appropriate response to SRHR protection violations.

The expected ultimate outcome is reduced suffering, increased and maintained human dignity, and lives saved for IDPs, particularly women and girls, in camps in Kachin State, Myanmar.
