Nutrition Reports and Resources

The CAN (Community Agriculture and Nutrition) Project Handbook presents a summary of simple adaptations of ideas on sustainable agriculture for refugees and internally displaced people along the Thailand-Burma border who are constrained in their agricultural practices due to limited access to land, water and other resources. Basic nutrition topics are also covered in the last two chapters of the handbook.

Evaluations

25Jun08: A key TBBC Donor requested a summary of all the studies and evaluations carried out of TBBC. There have been 25 such evaluations/ studies since 1994 and this proved to be a very informative exercise demonstrating how TBBC has implemented almost all of the consultant’s recommendations and how this has helped TBBC to keep abreast of best practice and to develop as an organisation.

Planning for the Future: The Impact of Resettlement on the Remaining Camp Population: Since 2005 the Royal Thai Government has invited Third Countries to resettle Burmese refugees from the camps along the border. Around 4,500 left in 2006 and up to 15,000 more are expected to depart in 2007. Numbers are likely to be even larger in 2008. In April 2007 CCSDPT commissioned a study of the impact of this resettlement on remaining camp services and management and the results have now been published in the consultants' report "Planning for the Future" Click here to download this 0.6Mb PDF file in English and click here to download the Burmese translation of the Executive Summary. With many of the most educated and capable refugees already leaving for resettlement there are enormous challenges to be faced to sustain services and camp administration, particularly in the health and education sectors. The consultants make recommendations to all stakeholders to address these.

Cover: CCSDPT-UNHCR Comprehensive Plan Comprehensive Plan For Assistance to Burmese refugees for 2007/8: CCSDPT (Committee for the Coordination of Services to Displaced Persons in Thailand) and UNHCR recently published a Comprehensive Plan for Assistance to Burmese Refugees for 2007/8 and presented it to representatives of the National Security Council, Ministry of Interior, 18 Embassies and other Donors at a Donor Forum on 29 May 2007. Click here to download this Comprehensive Plan in English (PDF: 3.1Mb) and here for the Thai version (PDF: 1.1Mb).

The Comprehensive Plan is the result of a participatory process between NGOs and UNHCR, analysing trends and addressing gaps in refugee protection and services. It acknowledges significant policy concessions made by the Royal Thai Government during the last two years towards allowing refugees to be more self-reliant, but sets out the challenges faced in turning policy into action. Further detailed approvals are required from the RTG for projects to be implemented and the Donor community is urged to ensure the continuity of existing services whilst supporting new initiatives to move the policies forward.

CCSDPT/ UNHCR agencies currently spend around USD 60 million per annum and the new initiatives would add another 10% or so to these costs. TBBC's budget is currently around USD 33 million, just over 50% of the total.
