answer text <p>We remain strongly committed to helping those most in need in Myanmar. The UK remains one of the leading donors. Since the coup on 1st February 2021, the UK has provided over £100 million to support those in need of humanitarian assistance, to deliver healthcare and education for the most vulnerable, and to protect civic space. We are also working closely with civil society and local organisations to help build the resilience of communities and the foundations for a more open, inclusive and democratic Myanmar.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) is a key partner for the UK providing protection and humanitarian assistance to refugees and other displaced persons, particularly in developing countries. UNHCR is a particularly important partner for the UK in refugee emergencies and has a crucial role in situations of Internal Displacement. The UK continues to be a strong supporter of UNHCR and provided £56 million in funding across bilateral and multilateral channels in 2021. Furthermore, we play a central and influential role through our engagement in UNHCR's Executive Committee and other governance fora.</p><p>The UK is a strong supporter of the International Organization for Migration (IOM). The UK plays a significant role in the governance of the IOM as a member and active participant in the IOM Council and other governance fora, and engaging regularly in dialogues on strategy, policy, and programming. The UK is also a significant funder of the IOM, and in 2021 provided approximately £75 million in core funding and bilateral support to country programmes, making the UK the IOM's third largest donor. The IOM works in over 100 countries, providing transportation, repatriation, and humanitarian assistance to forced migrants, Internally Displaced Persons, refugees and other vulnerable groups in crises, and the UK's support and engagement contributes to this work.</p>
