    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
    "In September 2002 the Thailand Burma Border Consortium (TBBC), formerly the
    Burmese Border Consortium, compiled a report “Internally Displaced People and
    Relocation Sites in Eastern Burma”. The report was written because although the
    Royal Thai Government was reluctant to accept more refugees and believed repatriation
    should occur as soon as conditions were judged suitable, new refugees were still
    arriving in Thailand. Since most of the new arrivals reported that they had formerly

    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY (extract): Poverty alleviation has been recognised by the new government as a strategic priority for human
    development. While official figures estimate that a quarter of the nation live in poverty, this survey suggests
    that almost two thirds of households in rural areas of South East Burma/Myanmar are unable to meet
    their basic needs. Impoverishment is particularly severe in the conflict-affected townships of Kyaukgyi
    and Shwegyin in Pegu/Bago Region and Thandaung in Karen/Kayin State. Comparative analysis with

    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
    "The Thailand Burma Border Consortium (TBBC) first collaborated with communitybased
    organizations to document the scale and distribution of internal displacement
    in Eastern Burma during 2002. Two years later, another survey was coordinated to
    enhance understanding about the vulnerability of internally displaced persons. These
    assessments sought to increase awareness about the situation in conflict-affected
    areas which remain largely inaccessible to the international community.

    The Thailand Burma Border Consortium (TBBC) has been collaborating with ethnic community-based organisations to document the characteristics of internal displacement in eastern Burma since 2002. This year's research updates estimates of the scale and distribution of internal displacement, and documents the impacts of militarization and state-sponsored development, based on quantitative surveys with key informants in 38 townships.

    A significant decrease in forced displacement has been documented by community‐based
    organisations in South East Myanmar after a series of ceasefire agreements were negotiated earlier this
    year. While armed conflict continues in Kachin State and communal violence rages in Rakhine State, field
    surveys indicate that that there has been a substantial decrease in hostilities affecting Karen, Karenni,
    Shan and Mon communities.
    In its annual survey of displacement and poverty released today, the Thailand Burma Border Consortium

    Myanmar

    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
    "Twenty years after the Burmese junta gunned down pro-democracy protesters, violations of human rights and humanitarian law in eastern Burma are more widespread and systematic than ever. Ten years after the Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement were submitted, the international response in eastern Burma remains largely ineffective in dealing with a predatory governing regime.

    Myanmar

    Perhaps one million people living in the States and Divisions of Burma adjacent to the Thailand border have been displaced since 1996. At least 150,000 have fled as refugees or joined the huge “illegal” migrant population in Thailand.[2] Countless others have moved away to other villages and towns in Burma.

    “Both tragedy and hope are reflected in this fifth annual survey of internal displacement in eastern Burma. The tragedy is that such systematic and widespread violations of human rights and humanitarian law continue to occur with national impunity and a largely ineffective international response. Yet it is the ongoing commitment and courage of ethnic community-based organisations to support grassroots coping strategies and document the impacts of conflict, violence and abuse which inspires hope for the future of Burma.
