"Cordaid has been working in Myanmar since 2008, starting with support in the aftermath of Cyclone Nargis, and since then continued with humanitarian aid and resilience projects. The country is a high-risk area for natural hazards like floods, cyclones, landslides, and earthquakes. In many ethnically diverse areas, conflicts have been present for many years, and currently, Myanmar is also facing the issues concerning the coronavirus pandemic. Cordaid works on resilience in three areas in Myanmar. One of these areas is the central dry zone of the country. This area experiences flooding yearly, up to several months. Additionally, erosion of the banks of the most important river in the country (the Irrawaddy river) has resulted in losing land and movement of whole villages. Community Managed Disaster Risk Reduction Cordaid, in partnership with Caritas Myanmar (KMSS), has been working on Community Managed Disaster Risk Reduction. In 13 villages, Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) committees have been set up, which have been trained to properly mitigate, prevent, prepare for, and respond to certain hazards, mainly floods. Villagers have now received a boat to be able to travel during flooding time, or built an emergency shelter, elevated a road, or constructed a water tank and pipes to be able to get clean drinking water in flooding season..."
