People in both Chin and Rakhine states face difficulties in terms of food security, employment opportunities, market access, and lack of social services and investment. In order to meet these needs, this project - implemented by Triangle Génération Humanitaire in Chin State (Matupi) and by GRET in the north of the State and in the Rakhine - involves a total of 8,000 families (40,000 inhabitants) in 94 villages as well as the city centres of Paletwa, Matupi and Kyauktaw. TGH has been active in Chin since 2012, mainly in the food security and rural development sector. For its part, GRET started microfinance and agricultural development programmes in northern Chin State in 1995, gradually building the capacity of the Chin Microfinance Institution and the Choklei Organization for Rural and Agricultural Development (CORAD).
This project develops a multi-sectorial approach that includes: support for agriculture and nutrition, access to water and sanitation, development of financial services, support to local communities & NGOs for access to and sustainable use of natural resources. These activities are being implemented through support for information and a consultative process, dialogue and awareness of the peace process.
This 4-year project involves communities directly and over the long term, from the initial diagnostic phase to the strengthening of local and community organizations. A sustainable and specific support allowing populations and households to take ownership of the tools and activities proposed.
