The Myanmar Environmental Country Profile (ECP) offers practical guidance for Shelter/NFI/CCCM Cluster partners in Myanmar, focusing on integrating environmental sustainability into shelter and settlement interventions. Organized into 11 chapters, it provides topic-specific insights and a checklist of recommendations aligned with the Myanmar Clusters' Environmental Action Plan. This checklist outlines actionable steps to minimize environmental impacts throughout project implementation, from planning to monitoring.
The ECP's chapters provide in-depth analyses and conclusions on specific environmental topics relevant to shelter and settlement interventions. Each chapter delves into critical environmental issues and offers developed conclusions to guide decision-making, ensuring that interventions remain aligned with environmental best practices.
Additionally, the ECP features a reference document where partners can find a curated list of the documents included in every chapter's resources folder. These documents are liste with highlighted basic information to make it easier for users to identify relevant materials quickly. The full Google Drive repository offers direct access to these resources, with frequent updates to ensure that the most current and relevant information is available.
To fully enjoy and navigate the Environmental Country Profile and access live resources seamlessly, it is important to ensure that you are using Google Chrome as your browser. Alternatively, if using a different browser, make sure you are logged into your Google account. This will enable smooth access to all integrated resources and features hosted on Google Sites and Google Drive.
As a living document, the profile evolves over time, incorporating new data and resources as they become available. Shelter Cluster partners are encouraged to share their experiences and insights, fostering a collaborative effort to keep the profile dynamic and responsive to the changing environmental landscape in Myanmar. By leveraging this tool, partners can contribute to solutions that are environmentally sustainable while addressing the immediate humanitarian needs of affected communities.
To ensure that the Myanmar Environmental Country Profile remains a valuable and up-to-date resource, the Shelter Cluster Coordination team is responsible for regularly uploading new and updated documents to the profile's Google Drive folder as soon as they become available. Partners are encouraged to share any new documents, reports, or relevant information with the Coordination team to ensure comprehensive coverage of all relevant topics. If significant updates or new challenges arise, the Technical Working Group (TWG) may be reactivated to review and revise the profile, ensuring it continues to meet the evolving needs of Shelter Cluster partners and supports effective, environmentally sustainable programming.
