Abstract:
This report examines the drivers of acute food insecurity across all of Rakhine State and proposes three integrated policy packageshumanitarian supply corridors, agricultural revitalization, and IDP shelter & ; rental supportto restore food access, stabilize markets, and protect household assets. Drawing on field surveys, systems‑dynamics analysis, and stakeholder consultations, I find that conflict‑induced displacement and administrative barriers have fractured supply chains and driven price spikes, while climate shocks exacerbate production shortfalls. Three conflict-sensitive policy packages are proposed:1. Discreet Supply-Chain Corridors: Establish shared logistics hubs in ULA-administered areas, pre-position buffer stocks, and develop covert liaison cells to secure imports of fuel, fertilizer, and medicine.2. Local Livelihood Recovery & ; Market Resilience: Subsidize inputs, formalize micro-markets at IndiaArakan checkpoints, deploy mobile market units, and provide microgrants and vocational training for displaced youth.3. IDP Shelter & ; Rental Protections: Implement conditional rental vouchers, temporary land allocations, and low-cost reconstruction partnerships to stabilize housing and free household income for food.
