H2H Network package of humanitarian support services: Conflict in Myanmar

Objective

Improve the use of needs-driven and responsive communication with affected communities, with a particular focus on persons with disabilities (PWDs).

Services

- Community Needs Assessment Report: Through the local organization MILI, the results of social listening and surveys across 12 states in Myanmar will gather insights on the needs of PWDs in conflict zones to fill gaps in data. The findings will be shared in reports and short presentations to help aid agencies adapt their services.

- Communicating with Communities (CwC) Mapping and Recommendation Report: An assessment of how key sectors communicate with affected communities using media and remote tools, addressing the barriers to face-to-face communication in Myanmar. Sector-based recommendations and best practices will be shared through presentations or other relevant format(s).

- Capacity Strengthening: Specialized training for staff in the organization MILI on social listening and data collection, supported by tailored training materials. This will be adapted to the conflict-sensitive context of Myanmar to help MILI effectively monitor and respond to the needs of PWDs.

- Audio-Visual Content: At least 4 digital content pieces based on the community needs assessment findings, to raise awareness and advocacy for PWDs in Myanmar. These will be distributed via social media and other relevant platforms.
