Description:
Humanitarian agencies and community-based organisations
are working in partnership to assist remote communities in
the most contested areas of eastern Burma...Humanitarian responses to this
chronic emergency have come
both from agencies based inside
Burma and from agencies based
in neighbouring countries and
working discreetly across national
borders. Government restrictions
on programmes and travel by
international staff in remote
areas were formalised in a set
of guidelines for humanitarian
agencies in 2006. These government
regulations have particularly
restricted agencies that prioritise
the field presence of expatriate
staff as a protection strategy.
