Myanmar aid groups learn to sort displaced people by their path to self-reliance

The World Bank studied displaced people in Myanmar to find out how they could become self-reliant. It turns out that people who have settled into new communities can be helped differently than those still moving.

Aid efforts often treat all displaced populations as one group needing the same help. This report shows that some groups are ready for jobs and financial support, while others still need basic humanitarian aid. This means aid money can be spent more effectively by matching the type of help to the specific needs of each group.
