Earthquake-related Insights from the August 2025 Round of MIMU HDP Nexus 5W
MIMU HDP Nexus 5W maintains updated information on WHO (which organizations) are doing WHAT (which activities), WHERE (in which locations), WHEN (project status and time frame), for WHOM (project focus), to enable organizations and donors to improve the targeting of beneficiaries to ensure that humanitarian, development and peace-focused needs are met. This round consists of voluntarily contributed activity data from organisations, recorded as of 31st August 2025.
In response to March 28, 2025 earthquake, this round included a specific question on whether the activities are related to earthquake. Early Recovery Cluster was also added to the Sector/Cluster list.
Methodology Note and Disclaimer
MIMU HDP Nexus 5W represents information as reported by organisations contributing to the exercise. The products do not show the presence of organisations and do not indicate the volume of assistance, the number of beneficiaries, or the extent to which needs are met or unmet. The HDP Nexus 5W Products have been prepared for operational purposes only, to support humanitarian and development activities in Myanmar. It is based on currently available information and is provided “as is”, for reference purposes only.
Note: Activities were reported line by line, with varying levels of geographic detail. Some organisations reported activities at the village tract level, while others provided consolidated data at the township or state/region level. As a result, organisations reporting at more granular (detailed) levels may appear to have more “activities” in aggregated views, as each village tract is counted separately. Therefore, “activity records” and “activities” are used interchangeably and they are to be interpreted as activity entries / lines in the data file.
All activities reported to MIMU HDP Nexus 5W include the following statuses: Under Implementation, Completed/Ended, Suspended, and Planned. For brevity, the terms “ongoing” and “under implementation” are used interchangeably, and organisations with projects under implementation are often referred to as “active” organisations.
Some activities do not include township-level details and are categorized as “Unspecified” in the township name and Pcode fields. While these activities are included in summary statistics and other visualisations, they are not shown on maps.
Total 356 townships are covered in MIMU HDP Nexus 5W as it is based on MIMU Pcodes datasets that include additional 26 townships from Wa Special Region.
Additional data sources include Myanmar Subnational Population Statistics 2025 from UN in Myanmar, and post-earthquake adjusted People-in-Need (PiN) data from OCHA.
