Organizational Context and Scope
IOM has been present in Myanmar since 2005 and is the leading inter-governmental organization in the field of migration and works closely with governmental, intergovernmental and non-governmental partners.

IOM has rolled out rapid emergency response in the aftermath of the earthquake and is also engaging in transitional and early recovery activities. Thousands of shelters have been destroyed, and Shelter, Non-Food Items and Camp Coordination and Camp Management are a large part of the response as the needs are high and there is an expectation that some informal sites or collective centres will continue to house populations who cannot return home due to damages to their homes.
