The work of UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, is entirely humanitarian, non-political, and guided by internationally recognized principles of humanity, neutrality, impartiality, and independence.
In Myanmar, UNHCR has been present since 1993. UNHCR cares for the needs of forcibly displaced and stateless persons in Chin, Kachin, Kayah, Kayin, Mon, Rakhine and Shan States, as well as Bago, Magway, Sagaing and Tanintharyi Regions.
By collaborating closely with partners such as sister UN agencies, NGOs and local communities, UNHCR plays a crucial role in providing life-saving assistance and emergency relief.
UNHCR also advocates for the fundamental human rights of forcibly displaced and stateless persons and their host communities. UNHCR’s goal is to work towards sustainable solutions that ensure people have a safe place to call home and can build a better future in cohesive and resilient communities.
