Foreign chambers operating in Myanmar have joined forces to provide much-needed immediate assistance. We commit to doing business responsibly in Myanmar, to support the people and the growth of Myanmar. German Myanmar Business Chamber, EuroCham Myanmar, French Myanmar Chamber of Commerce, British Chamber of Commerce Myanmar, Italian Myanmar Business Association, Australian Chamber of Commerce and Myanmar Hong Kong Chamber of Commerce and Industry will raise funds among their members and will assist in the mobilization of relief efforts on the ground, working closely together with the European Delegation in Myanmar and DG ECHO.
As part of the ‘Oxygen for Myanmar’ campaign, GMBC and the other Chambers have raised $300,000 – as part of the total $500,000+ raised by the private sector under #TeamEurope efforts.
The first 77 concentrators are on the way to the remote regions of Myanmar under the supervision of Community Partnerships International/CPI.
Selection of implementation partners, as well as their need and capacity assessment, is performed by the EU/ UNOPS-established Nexus Response Mechanism (NRM). NRM, through the CAR Facility, a third-party monitoring organization, will be able to provide monitoring support at the impact level to ensure that all the equipment and supplies reach the right recipients.
