THE INTERVENTION LOGIC"}, {"bbox": [83, 149, 1170, 283], "category": "Text", "text": "The underlying intervention logic for this action is that in response to the broad basic needs, eruption of violence and increased conflict as well as the increasing role of civil society as a consequence of the coup, the reinforcement of a nexus approach will make the population more resilient and enhance the process towards peace. This will involve supporting the most vulnerable, strengthening of peace building efforts at local community level and a strong civil society providing services and advocating for the needs and rights of the people of the country."}, {"bbox": [83, 288, 1170, 475], "category": "Text", "text": "This approach takes into consideration the assumption that under the current circumstances, for people and organisations to ensure they can resist the external impact caused by the military takeover, a flexible and holistic response is required. The humanitarian-development-peace approach, as currently implemented in Myanmar, is considered most appropriate for this purpose, as it not only allows to react flexibly to the changing needs, but also addresses the needs of the people combining a shorter term and a longer term vision, combined with a focus on conflict sensitivity and prevention. The current situation in Myanmar indicates a strong need to closing the gap between the immediate emergency response and the important focus on strengthening people's sustainable and peaceful living."}, {"bbox": [83, 480, 1170, 640], "category": "Text", "text": "The context also requires a specific focus on peace making and peace building, in particular, in absence of a functioning national peace process, on direct assistance to the communities to achieve peace at the local level. While the formal peace process is stalled, the action contributes to creating the demand and establishing functioning structures for peace building, conflict prevention and mitigation at the local level. Strengthening local civil society and assisting them to provide the support needed to local communities as well as advocating for their rights and needs, will complement the holistic approach taken which will help achieving resilience and peace."}, {"bbox": [83, 645, 1170, 832], "category": "Text", "text": "With increased resilience of the population of Myanmar, in particular the most vulnerable segments, and local structures and organisations in place demanding and making peace, this action contributes – jointly with other programmes implemented by the EU, member states and other development partners – to solutions that allow for lasting peace, security, stability and sustainable development in Myanmar. The underlying assumption here is that strong communities, with an important role and participation of all segments of the community including women, and capacitated inclusive civil society organisations will build the basis for a social cohesion, life in security and peace, and also advancement towards development."}, {"bbox": [83, 837, 1170, 998], "category": "Text", "text": "As part of the support for socio-economic recovery in conflict-affected areas and areas interested by civilian unrest, a strong emphasis will be given to alleviating inter-communal tensions and addressing serious human rights concerns: the systematic integration of rights based approach in activities aiming to meet populations immediate needs will be pivotal to all aspects of programme implementation, in order to assure principled, inclusive, non-discriminatory and needs based interventions. All actions will be screened against strict human rights due diligence and conflict sensitivity criteria for assuring principled engagement limiting the potential to perpetuate segregation or harmful practices."}, {"bbox": [1040, 1651, 1157, 1675], "category": "Page-footer", "text": "Page 12 of 23"}]
