Activities

The Myanmar Red Cross (MRCS) operates as an implementing partner for UNHCR for the integrated assistance program for vulnerable communities in Rakhine State state. It receives assistance from UNICEF for a joint MRCS-UNICEF peer youth education program on reproductive health and HIV/AIDS prevention. It is also an active partner of UNICEF in various other activities. The Family Planning International Association (FPIA) is another partner of MRCS in the field of reproductive health and HIV/AIDS prevention.

The society currently receives assistance from the International Federation for disaster preparedness and response, health including first aid and community based first aid, organizational development and communications; funding and technical support is largely provided by the Japanese and Australian Red Cross. The IFRC supports orthopedics, tracing, water and sanitation, conflict preparedness and cooperation.
