The Child Centred Risk Assessment (CCRA) provides a detailed and extensive view of risk across the country and serves as a decision-support tool for the Government of Myanmar (GoM) and its partners. The outcome of the analysis is a child-centred risk index ranking the 325 townships of Myanmar compiled using 32 indicators. The CCRA additionally serves as an in-depth planning document supporting UNICEF’s child-centred work and enables more risk- and climate-sensitive programming. It also provides a tool for development partners and civil society organisations interested in visualising and addressing risk and its implications on children and other vulnerable groups in Myanmar.

The patterns of child-centred risk that emerge from the CCRA take into account the importance of integrating all elements of the risk equation—exposure, socio-economic vulnerability, capacity, hazard risk, and climate change—for a comprehensive understanding and to build effective disaster risk mitigation and reduction approaches. According to their specific mandates, different agencies may focus on individual elements of the risk equation for their decision-making; yet all efforts to reduce the drivers of risk ultimately contribute to fostering child-centred resilience. 

This second edition of the CCRA complements the 2017 Myanmar Action Plan for Disaster Risk Reduction's (MAPDRR) prioritization of inclusive disaster risk reduction and better understanding of vulnerability throughout Myanmar. Updated data and maps show where children’s vulnerability is greatest by combining natural and human-caused hazards. This edition of the CCRA also updates risk maps and analysis based on 2014 census data, using more precise information on risks facing children allowing for insight at the township level rather than the previous analysis at a State/Region level presented in the first edition.
