This activation is now taking place in conjunction with the 2025 Myanmar Earthquake response.

There are 19.9 million people in humanitarian need in Myanmar, a third of the country’s population, including over 3.4 million people internally displaced.

Australia is one of the largest donors to the response in Myanmar. The Australian Government has provided AUD 9 million to the Australian Humanitarian Partnership (AHP) to respond to the humanitarian situation in Myanmar, with a focus on delivering to underserviced people in need.

The AHP Response

An AHP response will run until March 2026 and provide humanitarian assistance to vulnerable communities.

Three consortia of AHP partners will respond with a focus on addressing basic needs: Oxfam and World Vision; Save the Children and CARE; and Plan International and CAN DO.
