<p>The UN Humanitarian Response Plan budget for Rakhine State, Burma in 2015 totals
$118m. This is for overall humanitarian assistance including, but not limited to,
the camps. The UK’s bilateral humanitarian funding to Rakhine is £18 million since
2012 including needs identified in the UN humanitarian response plan. DFID visits
displaced persons camps in Rakhine regularly and assesses the UN response plan and
budget to be realistic. We are also the largest donors to a major $44m rural livelihoods
programme in Rakhine. Addressing the political challenges is equally important and
we are pushing for improved humanitarian access, greater protection and accountability
and sustainable solutions to displacement, intercommunal relations and citizenship.</p><p>
