ICCO co-funds the program 'Targeted Food Assistance to Myanmar Refugees in Thailand'. During 2014 an increased number of the camp population, including youth, were involved in livelihood activities with the dual aim of coping with the reduction of food rations and preparing for potential return. This project supports TBCs general program activities, related to food and nutrition, shelter, and camp-management in the refugee camps in Thailand and to support camps for internally displaced people.
