Context
This unrest has exacerbated the severe humanitarian crisis, triggering the displacement of 2.7 million people, including an additional 850,000 people since the end of 2023.
Living conditions for Burmese people have deteriorated due to economic recession. They are struggling to meet their essential needs and are no longer able to build their future prospects. The situation worsened again in Spring 2023, when Cyclone Mocha struck the country. Rakhine State was worst affected, where Rohingya communities still live in confinement in camps for displaced people and remain highly dependent on international humanitarian aid.
Despite the severity of the crisis in Myanmar, it remains largely forgotten, with insufficient funding for humanitarian assistance.

SOLIDARITÉS INTERNATIONAL maintained its front-line humanitarian response, despite the very restricted operating environment. Our NGO provided essential services to people living in long-term displacement camps and also responded, through its partners, to emerging needs in hard-to-reach areas.
In Rakhine State, the impact of Cyclone Mocha prompted our teams to combine their annual programs with emergency response activities. Adaptation to climate change is an absolute priority in this highly exposed country. SOLIDARITÉS INTERNATIONAL reinforced its localisation strategy with civil society organisations, to increase their autonomy and strengthen communities.
Institutional and private funding partners ECHO, FCDO, AFD, CDCS, CIAA, UNICEF, UNOPS, OCHA-Humanitarian Pooled Fund (MHF), BHA
