La mission
SI has been in Myanmar since 2008, first responding to the devastating Cyclone Nargis. In 2011 and 2012, SI expanded to new regions focusing on
Livelihoods, Food Security, Shelter, and WASH sectors. SI is currently mainly operating in Rakhine and in Kachin States with outreach emergency
capacities through its local partners in other locations. The operations are supported by a Coordination team based in Yangon.
While continuing to support the vulnerable communities suffering from a long-term protracted crisis, SI is also developing a stronger and more
responsive Emergency component, either directly or through local partners, to tackle the growing needs spreading across the country.
Projects are currently funded by FCDO, ECHO, CIAA, CDCS and UN agencies with potential for development in terms of geographical coverage
and activities' scope to address the emerging needs.

Cluster, regular meetings with donors when required.
SI also holds the WASH Leadership role in consortia, including some with local partners implementing emergency to post emergency responses.
The WASH Coordinator with the support of WASH teams will be strongly involved in the capacity assessment and building of partners.
Remote management (very limited access to the field). Challenges linked to context understanding (strong limitations in place in Rakhine for
the moment) + remote control of acitivities implementation.
High volume of programming in partnerships (international and national/local) + SI positioning on WASH technical control and monitoring for
such consortia
WaSH focal point for first line response consortium implemented through partners with other INGOs
PRIORITIES ON THE 2-3 FIRST MONTHS
Finalizing the restructuring of the WASH/Programs OrgChart in Rakhine
Strengthen and streamline SI WASH leadership in Emergency Response consortium.
