Description:
"Since 2007, IOM’s work on Emergency, Post Crisis and Preparedness are in the areas of Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) and
Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM).
DRR and disaster management is aimed at reducing risk, while improving preparedness in disaster management and resilience
associated with natural disasters. Supporting the department of Relief and Resettlement and the General Administration
Department, IOM helps to develop township level multi hazard risk maps and disaster management plans. Those maps and
plans help decision-makers to plan development and infrastructure initiatives. Building on this, IOM improves end to end early
warning systems, coastal protection and community resilience. IOM supports union, national, state and township
governments, by increasing their capacity and readiness to manage disasters and reduce the impact of disasters on
communities.
IOM has been working towards elevating the CCCM capacity available in Myanmar since 2015 through various capacity building
initiatives including training and coaching CCCM practitioners, service providers and government officials using CCCM Global
Cluster materials in collaboration with the CCCM National Cluster. IOM’s CCCM support ceased in 2017, however 45 globally
certified CCCM trainers remain in the field with an adapted national CCCM curriculum being integrated into the Government of
Myanmar’s Disaster Management Training Centre’s core courses on
preparedness.
IOM’s community stabilisation activities aim to promote resilient
community development and agricultural and livelihoods
development for food security in Rakhine State. These activities aim
to improve the readiness of the government, increase the resilience
of communities, prevent potential migration outflows from disaster
affected areas, and to promote safe and orderly migration to safe
relocation areas..."
