It has been six months since the powerful 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck central Myanmar on 28 March 2025.The devastating quake caused widespread damage to homes, schools, health centres, and public infrastructure across Mandalay and Sagaing regions. It has worsened an already dire humanitarian situation, with nearly 20 million people nationwide in need of assistance due to prolonged conflict, recurring natural disasters, and economic collapse. Among them are more than 3.5 million people displaced from their homes, further deepening the crisis. From Day 1, we acted swiftly—restoring access to clean water and sanitation to prevent disease outbreaks, providing food and cash assistance to address food insecurity and urgent needs, offering protection services including mental health and psychosocial support for women and children, delivering shelter assistance to displaced families, and supporting livelihood recovery through VisionFund.

Food hygiene is critical to health, with 600 million people falling ill annually due to contaminated food. Children under five bear 40% of the burden, with 125,000 deaths each year.

The emphasis on localisation in Afghanistan has been key to making a difference on the ground.

Moving beyond one-off dialogues to system-level transformation, this roadmap embeds peacebuilding in to multiple programmes, anticipatory action and community resilience.
