UNHCR operation in Myanmar

About this project

UNHCR estimates that there are over 1.2 million persons of concern in Myanmar. This figure includes 810,000 internally displaced persons and 600,000 stateless Rohingya, of which 148,000 remain displaced. UNHCR has been present in Myanmar since 1993 and maintains an operational presence of over 200 staff at 10 locations. We care for the needs of persons of concern in Chin, Kachin, Kayah, Kayin, Mon, Rakhine and Shan states as well as Bago, Magway, Sagaing and Tanintharyi regions. By collaborating closely with partners such as sister UN agencies, NGOs, and local communities, UNHCR plays a crucial role in providing life-saving interventions, particularly in the areas of assistance coordination, services to mitigate protection risks, and delivery of emergency relief. We also advocate for the fundamental human rights of persons of concern and host communities and work towards sustainable solutions that ensure people have a safe place to call home and build a better future in cohesive and resilient communities. This activity shows details of the UNHCR operation in Myanmar for 2025 and future years including the budget, funding, expenditure and results.
