About the mission
| SI has been in Myanmar since 2008, first responding to the devastating Cyclone Nargis. In 2011 and 2012, SI expanded to new regions focusing on Livelihoods, Food Security, Shelter, and WASH sectors. SI is currently mainly operating in Rakhine and in Kachin States with outreach emergency capacities through its local partners in other locations. The operations are supported by a Coordination team based in Yangon. While continuing to support the vulnerable communities suffering from a long-term protracted crisis, SI is also developing a stronger and more responsive Emergency component, either directly or through local partners, to tackle the growing needs spreading across the country. In 2024, 14 international staff and more than 300 national staff are working with SI Myanmar to implement projects focusing on Wash, FSL and Emergency response. Projects range from immediate life-saving response (Water Scarcity in Rakhine, Emergency response to new displacements etc.) to the search for more sustainable solutions to protracted crisis (handover to communities and local organizations, capacity-building, community empowerment etc.) Projects are currently funded by UNOPS, BHA, MHF, ECHO, CIAA, PV/AERMC, CDCS and UNICEFwith potential for development in terms of geographical coverage and activities’ scope to address the emerging needs.
