The Shelter/NFI & CCCM National Cluster has released its Myanmar Earthquake Response Strategy (May 2025). The plan sets out a two-phase approach to assist 753,000 people. Needs have surged from 1 million to 5.2 million people requiring shelter assistance after the 28 March earthquake, which damaged or destroyed more than 40,000 homes and left many families sleeping in the open.
Phase 1 (now under way) focuses on immediate life-saving relief such as the provision of non-food items (NFI) and emergency shelter over the first three months; Phase 2 starts immediately after Phase 1 and shifts to life-sustaining response such as shelter repairs and dignified transitional solutions before the monsoon. The strategy stresses DRR, gender and protection mainstreaming, and calls for urgent funding and enhanced coordination to scale up the response.
