JOB CONTEXT:

The MyTh (Myanmar Thailand) program was created in 2016 with the merge of 2 already existing missions. Setting up cross border initiatives and integrate the coming return of refugees from Thailand to Myanmar is at the heart of the regional strategy. HI currently implements activities in nine camps of Burmese refugees on the Thailand/Myanmar border. It is expected that funding will be affected by this dynamic in the next future. HI’s first activities in Myanmar were in the frame of the Cyclone Nargis’s response, from October 2008 to December 2009. Following the ratification of the CRPD by the Myanmar authorities, HI decided to reopen a mission in Myanmar in 2014 and signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Ministry of Social Welfare in September 2015, which is currently under renewal. In 2017, HI also signed a MOU with the Ministry of Health and Sports.

The 3 pillars of the HI MyTh Programme Operational Strategy 2018-20 are:
1/Armed Violence Reduction (AVR) including Victim Assistance, Explosive ordnance Risk Education, and Non-Techncial Surveys
2/Inclusion with projects covering support to Organizations of Persons with Disabilities and promotion of Rights, Inclusive Humanitarian Action, Inclusive Disaster Risk Reduction with a particular focus on Hospital Emergency Preparedness, inclusive livelihood and inclusive education
3/Health and Rehabilitation with projects covering mental health and psychosocial support, physical and functional rehabilitation (including with specific project focusing on supporting Child Development).

Emergencies, Armed Violence Reduction (Humanitarian Mine Action) and development contexts coexist in Myanmar while HI is involved in a great variety of sectors of intervention, creating a diverse, challenging and dynamic working environment, where coordination is operated mainly through working groups and clusters. Consortia and pool funds are frequent. Intense networking is essential for successful fundraising and efficient implementation. The context is quite different in Thailand: HI is the sole actor implementing physical and functional rehabilitation, support to Disability inclusion and Risk Education projects. Consortium are difficult to build and not required by donors (except the EU).

HI has developed its first regional strategy (2018 – 2020) and it is therefore time to update this strategy consolidating current sectors of activities while exploring the needs and possibility to invest in new operational sectors such as Inclusive Education and Protection.
