In response to the prevailing multi-dimensional crisis in Myanmar, UNDP has put together the Community First Programme (CFP), representing UNDP's strategy in Myanmar from 2021 to 2023. The CFP consolidates UNDP's development efforts in Myanmar and pivots its focus toward supporting community recovery, building resilience, and meeting the basic needs of the most vulnerable populations. In addition, the CFP establishes the principles, strategies, and mechanisms for operating across the country in accordance with UNCT’s Principles of Engagement which guides the programme and helps ensure neutrality, coherence across all interventions, and effective management of risks. Given the volatile and unpredictable situation, the CFP established built-in mechanisms to (i) anticipate - through robust analysis of multi-dimensional vulnerability and risk identification - the opportunities and challenges in different locations or related to different stakeholders, (ii) learn through trial and error and adapt design and implementation (including scaling) based on lessons learned, and (iii) adjust course according to new information, including reallocating resources as needed. 

The Enabling Community Recovery and Resilience (ENCORE) Project is a critical component of the UNDP CFP. ENCORE aims to empower the most vulnerable communities from crisis to recovery and then to long-term development and resilience through a range of short-term, intermediate, and long-term interventions (Figure 1). Specifically, the project shall work closely with these vulnerable communities to (i) address their most basic needs, (ii) restore livelihoods, (iii) rehabilitate basic community infrastructure, (iv) recover community resources, (v) address environmental issues and promote the use of renewable energy and climate-friendly technologies, while, at the same time, (v) continuously building community disaster preparedness and capacities to manage risks.
