Funding sources:

EUR 1 = THB 36.50 

Summarized Description of the Project

The humanitarian crisis along the Thai-Myanmar border remains complex and protracted, marked by decades of massive displacement. This situation has now become increasingly critical due to the ongoing violent civil war in Myanmar while, at the same time, severely impacted by drastic reductions in international aid funding particularly from the US Government resulting in shortages in food, healthcare, education, and protection services for both the displaced persons who have long been living in the 9 refugee camps, as well as the influx of new refugees fleeing from the armed fighting and hiding in the caves and jungles along the Thai-Myanmar border.

In response to their vital needs, COERR proposes this consolidated project with two critical components, targeting highly vulnerable Forcibly Displaced Persons (FDPs) from Myanmar who are both in and outside the camps:

Component 1: “PROTECT” – Child Protection services for 108,167 refugees (56,110 female; 52,057 male) residing in nine camps along the Thai-Myanmar border. These include both longterm camp residents and newly arrived children fleeing violence in Myanmar, many of whom entered unofficially and lack access to basic services. Notably, 42% of the camp population are children under 18.

Component 2: “INFLUX” – Emergency humanitarian assistance for newly displaced persons hiding in border forests, caves, or in Temporary Designated Areas (TDAs) overseen by the Thai military. UNHCR estimates that over 600,000 people are currently displaced in Southeast Myanmar (Kayin, Kayah, Mon, and Tanintharyi), many of whom COERR has reached in the previous project phase. This project aims to expand that lifesaving support.
