September 1993 .

The Burmese Border Consortium (BBC) is a group of Non-Govern­mental Organisations(NGO's) which pools its resources to pro­vide basic food and items of necessity to ethnic minority refugees from Burma along the Thai border. The working philo­sophy of the BBC is

1) To provide assistance in cooperation with the Royal Thai Government and in accordance with the regulations of the Ministry of Interior (MOl);

2) To provide basic commodities consistent with MOl regu­lations and with living standards in the border areas. The Consortium does not generally provide medical assistance, but coordinates closely with medical agencies through the Coordinating Committee for Displaced Persons in Thailand ( CCSDPT);

3) To keep staff presence to a minimum to comply with Mor regulations, to promote self- sufficiency, minimise aid­dependency, and to help preserve the cultural identity of the refugee communities

4) To provide assistance through the appointed refugee re­lief committees to ensure coordination and to avoid duplication ;

5) By forming a consortium, to avoid competition cation of assistance between agencles, and the use of financial resources

and dupli­to max imise

6) To meet monthly in Bangkok to share information on the refugee situation and to determine programme details for implemention by the BBC staff ; and,

7) To res pond to emergencies as they occur, e x tending reli e f to new refugees in accordance with the above philosophy.

Thi s Report describes the Burmese Border Consortium (BBC) ~ Relief Programme for Refugees from Burma on the Thai border

during the first si x months of 1993, and appeals for funds to support the programme budget estimated for 1994 .

The border was relatively quiet during this period when traditionally there has been a dry season offensive by the Burme se Army. Refugee numbers increased however because SLORC continued to relocate villages and create "free-fire" zones in the border regions in an attempt to isolate the resi s tance forces. Food security in these areas deteriora­ted and life became a struggle for tens of thousands of inte r nally displaced people. The refugee camp population increased f r om 65,891 to a new high of 70,330 during the period.

The relief programmes proceeded smoothly, the main challenge once again being to raise the necessary funds in time to stockpile food for the more remote camps during the rainy season. Costs we r e lower than originally projected partly because refugee numbers did not increase as much as had been predicted, and partly because rice prices fell during the period. Provided there is no new emergency total costs for 1993 are now e x pected be about US$ 3,000,000, the same a s in 1992 .

Food supplies and their transportation accounted for 89% of e xpenditures in the first half of 1993, other relief sup­plies for 8 % of e xpenditures, whilst administration costs were again approx imately 3%. The BBC programme provides about 95% of all food and relief items supplied to the bor­der camps at a cost amounting to about 3 baht per person per day, or about US$ 43 per person per year.

It is still difficult to predict future needs with any con­fidence, but assuming that new refugees continue to arrive at the rate experienced so far in 1993 and that there is no new military offensive, the preliminary expenditure budget for 1994 is Baht 85 million or US$ 3.400 , 000. This assumes a 1994 refugee camp population of 80,000 as compared with 71 , 700 in August 1993.

Adequate funds have been received to cover expected expendi­tures in 1993 , however US$ 3,000.000 of new funds are re­quired for 1994. Much of this will be needed before the rainy season in May 1994. As always, the BBC urges all Do­nors who a re able to, to transfer funds as soon as possible to avoid the usual cash/flow crisis during the early months of the year.

At the end of 1992 the total refugee population at the bor­der was 65,891 plus around 2,500 "students". Traditionally, the dry season (Nov to Apr) had been / the time of year when the Burmese Army launched a military offensive against the non ethnic Burman nationalities in the border areas, but so fa r this had not materialised. Originally it had been expec­ted that the offensive would resume with the ferocity e x pe­ri enced at the end of the 1991/92 dry season and the relief agencies were preparing for a potentially major refugee influx. But after some early skirmishes in October the bor­der had fallen strangely silent.

There was much speculation that the offensive was simply "on hold" since SLORC had called for a National Convention to be he ld in January 1993 and did not want ' adverse publicity affecting an event which was supposedly about reconciliation and democracy. Few were yet convinced that the cease-fire a nd other "concessions" annou nced by General Than Shwe when he took over the leadership of SLORC in April 1992 were sincere.

The s ituation remained tense throughout the dry season. The National Convention was convened and then repeatedly sus­pended a nd restarted throughout the period. SLORC gradually revealed the nature of a new Constitution which it wanted to see put in place, one which would ensure the military's con­tinuing control in the future Burma. The traditional dry season offensive was never launched.

This of course was a relief to all concerned and there was no major refugee emergency to deal with. This is not to say however that all was well. In the border regions SLORC con­tinued to relocate villages and establish "free-fire" zones in an attempt to isolate the resistance forces from the in­terior. Villages were looted and many people fled into the resistance controlled areas. The food situation in these areas became difficult with cultivation disrupted by pre­vious offensives, and with the Mon, Karen and Karenni autho­rities' own capability to support their people diminishing because of the burden of the civil war and a reduction in their cross border trading activities. A large internally displaced population numbering tens of thousands had become a heavy burden, and some crossed the border to the refugee camps.

There was also concern during the period that the Thai authorities were planning to move refugee camps closer to, or even back across the border to areas which could not be

confirmed as safe. nally under order negotiated under could be built to occur until after

The large Mon camp at Loh Loe was origi­to move by April but an agreement was which the move was delayed until a road

the new sites. This was not e xpected to the 1993 rainy season.

Karenni Camp No.4 was required to move to a new location in January and in April the Karen and Tavoyan camps at Leh-In­Zoo, Democracy Village and Ah Ler Hsto were forced to move by the Thai Army , an action which resulted in the burning down of two of the camps. The Thai Army stated that these camps were being used by armed rebels. The civilian popula­tion of these camps fled closer to the border at Ah Ler Hsto and Don Aw See and after negotiations with the Thai authori­ties it was agreed that these refugees would be relocated opposite Don Aw See once an access road is built. The con­s truction of this road is now also delayed until after the 1993 rainy season. The Mon camp at Pa Mark was moved to Loh ~O€ as a further consequence of the April incidents.

During the six month period to 30th June the refugee camp population increased from 65,891 to a record high of 70,330 an increase of about s e ven percent.

Background information on the BBC, including the organisa­tional structure, is set out in Appendix A, and the relief programme is described in Appendix c. There were no major changes in the first half of 1993.

The relief programmes generally progr~ssed smoothly other than during the incidents at Leh In Zoo, Democracy Village and Ah Ler Hsto. These were traumatic for the refugees involved and BBC staff were involved in negotiations on their behalf which resulted in the solution described in the last Section. Access for supplies was not disrupted during the negotiations and it was possible to sustain basic deliveries throughout the period.

The main challenge for the BBC during the period was ~gain to raise the necessary funds, and to organise the stockpiling of food supplies in the more remote camps for the rainy season. This included all of the camps in the Sangkhlaburi, Nat E Thaung and Mae Hong Son areas, as well as the northern Karen camps in Mae Hong Son a nd Tak provinces. In total this repre­sented about one third of the entire border camp population. This was accomplished, just, with neither money or time to spare, but these camps are now provided for until about November .

The last BBC report set out details of recommendations made to the Minority of Interior at the end of 1992 which proposed a modest e x tension of the relief programme to include public health, sanitation and education. There has been no opportu­nity yet to discuss these recommendations, but cooperation with the Thai a uthorities remains good. The MOl has agreed to support visas for the three BBC staff directly, rather than through member agencies as before and has facilitated the handling of the first large donation of clothing received by IRC from overseas for distribution by the BBC at the border.

The revised expenditure budget for 1993 as presented in t 'he last BBC report was based on an assumed increase in refugee numbers of 25 percent during the year. Commodity and tran­sport costs assumed in the budget were based on prices ap­plying at that time. Actual costs for the first six months as compared with the budget for the year were as follows :

* Includes 10,870 sacks of rice (worth $ 5,000,000) from an anony­mous donor.

Because of the seasonal nature of the programme, and in particular the stockpiling of supplies for the rainy season, comparison of ex­penditures with budget at the mid-year point is of limited value . However, the following observations can be made

1) Foosl,. Food costs in total were just under 60 percent of the twelve month budget at the half way stage, but there were seve­ral significant divergences from the original assumptions : -

the average price paid for rice in 1993 has been $ 507 per sack so far, compared with the b~dgeted price of $ 550 per sack (8 percent lower). iodized salt is now being provided for all groups. This is costing over 80 baht per bag compared with 44 baht paid for regular salt in 1992 .

,

13 fish paste is now also being supplied to the Karenni refugees for the first time. The average price has been 150 baht/tin compared with 160 baht/tin budgeted. the refugee population increased by 7 percent in the first six months compared with 25 percent assumed for the year.

2) Relief Items. Mosquito nets were distributed in April. Blankets will be purchased and distributed in October.

3) Other. Medical costs are in line with budget. Transport costs reflect the rainy season stockpiling in the more remote areas. Miscellaneous supplies include sleeping mats, assistance with relocations etc.

4) Administration. Salary/ Office costs are in line with budget. Vehicle costs include the replacement of the Mae Sot 4 wheel drive pick-up as budgeted. The old vehicle was sold for ~ 150,000 (This is recorded as income in the income/ expenditure Tables in Section 8).

Refugee numbers are still increasing by between 500 and 1000 each month, and rice prices are rising again. However based on the level of e x penditures to date, and assuming no new emergency, total ex­penditure for the year is likely to be similar to that of 1992 at around ~ 75,000,000 (see Section 6) as compared with $ 90,000,000 projected in the l ast report .

It has never been easy predicting refugee numbers on the Burmese border and thankfully last years'predictions have proven unduely pessimistic. To predict what might happen over the coming year though is perhaps even more difficult than usual.

Much is happening inside Burma and in international rela­tions with Burma . During the next 12 months there is the possibility of a new constitution being established and of a new Government being formed following a General Election. At the moment the processes leading towards this do not engage the political opposition or the ethnic nationali­ties to the degree that supporters might wish, but there is also much talk of cease-fires and peace talks. the pos­sible scenarios range between the extremes of a resumption of the military offensive and a new wave of refugees into Thailand, to the conclusion of peace-talks and a return of the refugees to Burma.

Since the Burmese Army continues to amass troops, a mili­tary offensive cannot be ruled out. However this does seem unlikely considering SLORC's current public relations cam­paign to appease its critics. It would also be extremely optimistic to expect that the 44 year civil war will be resolved over such a short period of time. It is more realistic to assume that the refugees will remain in Thai­land for the time being and that their numbers may contue to increase because of the large internally displaced population and difficult food situation caused by SLORC's relocation activities in the border regions.

For budgeting purpose it is assumed that refugee numbers might increase by another 10,000 over the next twelve months to mid 1994, a rate similar to that experienced du­ring 1993. This suggests a population of 80,000 for 1994 (compared with the latest figure of 71,700 at the end of August 1993).

A preliminary budget for 1994 1S set out below based on pro­jected expenditures for 1993, a refugee population of around 80,000, and using current price trends.

At the end of June the BBC was carrying balances totalling only ~ 680,000 with an additional ~ 21,000,000 needed to cover anticipated expenditures to the end of the year. How­ever several large contributions were in the process of being transferred and have now been received which are ade­quate to cover these needs .

Balances carried forward to 1994 however, are e xpected to be only around Baht 11 million (US$ 440,000 ) as compared with Baht 30 million (US$ 1.2 million) carried forward in­to 1993.

Some US$ 3 million of new funds are therefore required to cover 1994 funding needs, and approx imately US$1 . 8 million of this will be required before the rainy season in May 1994 .

The following Tables summarise the BBC Programme financial accounts for the period 1 January to 30 June 1993.

Table 1 shows the income, expenditure and balances held in the Church of Christ in Thailand ( CCT ) Burmese Border A/C through which the majority of BBC funds are now sent. These are transferred to the Thailand Baptist Missionary Fellow­ship (TBMF) Karen Displaced Persons Sub Committee A/C, less expenses directly attributable to eCT's participation in the BBC programme

Table 2 gives the income, expenditure and bala~es held in the TBMF Karen Displaced Persons Sub Committee AIC including transfers from CCT. These are transferred to the BBC project officies ("Support"), less e xpenses directly attri~utable to TBMF's participation in the programme.

Table 3 shows a consolidated A/C of the entire BBC pro­gramme including all income received via CCT and TBMF, as well as contributions made direct to the project office ac­counts and interest accrued on these accounts. Expenditures listed include all project office e xpenses as well as the expenses incurred by CCT and TBMF before transfer to the programme.

The notes to Table 3 show the breakdown of MSF's e x pendi­tures of BBC grants for supplementary feeding, a statement of stock held at the beginning and end of the period, and distribution of supplies to the different ethnic groups.

Table 4 presents the information in Table 3 ln a different format, allocating individual donor contributions to the ma in expenditure categories. Tables a), b) and c) are pre­sented for the three periods 1 July to 31 December 1992, 1 January 1993 to 30 June 1993, and 1 July 1992 to 30 June 1993 respectively. The BBC does not encourage designated contributions because of the administrative work these en­tail. However, donations which are accepted for specific purposes are listed separately in Table 4, with expenditures allocated appropriately. All other undesignated donations are assumed to carry a proportionate share of each of the e xpenditure categories, including balances carried forward.

Should any donor require further breakdown beyond the expen­diture categories given , this can be extracted by using the details given in Table 3. For example, the distribution of

e xpenditures on rice between the five ethnic groups and by location could be derived by using the proportions of rice purchased for each group as listed in Table 3.

Table 4 b) presents the information for the first half of 1993, the period of this report. All of the balances car­ried forward at 1 January have been allocated to e xpendi­tures during the first half of 1993. That is, all donations received during the second half of 1992 were spent within the calendar year . Balances carried forward at 30 June 1993 will be allocated to e xpenditures in second hal f of 1993 and therefore will also be disbursed within a twelve month period .

Table 4 a) is re-presented for the period 1 July to 31 Decem­ber 1992, modified slightly from the version p r inted in the last report. The modification was necessary because money donated via the Canadian Council of Churches was for food aid only and should have been allocated under the "designa­ted " category as in the revised edition.

APPENDIX A Jillll[ W~{jil~ IlliiIWl6rF! @l'~C!,]'..lli\jfu1

a) 1984 Mandate/Organisation

~ ­c (

In February 1984 the Ministry of Interior ( MOl) invited groups of Non Governmental Organisations (NGO's) already working with Indochinese refugees in Thai l a nd to provide emergency assis­tance to around 9000 Karen refugees who had arrived in Tak Province. It was expected that the situation would be temporary and MOl stressed the need to restrict aid to essential levels only. It was emphasised that nothing should be done which might encourage more refugees to come into Thai land , or those who had a lready come to stay any longer than necessary. Thailand was prepared to accept these people temporarily on humanitarian grounds.

Several NGO's agreed to provide assistance through the Karen Refugee Committee which the Karen authorities had established to oversee the refugee population. To avoid duplication and competition, and to ensure a reliable exchange of information, the agencies involved established a s ub- committee under the Coordinating Committee for Services t o Displaced Persons in Thailand (CCSDP T) to coordinate the relief programme. The CCSDPT Karen Sub Committee met for the first time in April 1984 and has met monthly ever since. All agencies providing assis­tance or interested in the situation are invited. The MOl atte nds on an occasional basis to share informat ion and policy issues.

b) 1990 Expansion / 1991 Regulations

During the second half of 1989 the NGO 's were approached by the Karenni Refugee Committee to assist Karenni Refugees who had fled fighting in Kayah State to Mae Hong Son Province. Some assistance was provided and during 1990 this assistance was or­ganised into an ongoing programme. Early in the year Mon and Karen refugees began also to arrive in Kanchanaburi Province from Mon State. Another relief programme was set up at the re­quest of the Mon National Relief Committee .

Assistance to each of the new groups was provided on the same basis as that already given to the Karens, i.e. essential relief assistance comprising mainly food and medical help pro­vided through the respective refugee committees. In August 1990, the Agencies informed the Ministry of Interjor of these e x tended relief programmes and in November CCSDPT agreed to change the name of the CCSDPT Karen Sub Commit tee to the CCSDPT Burma Sub Committee to reflect the now broader concerns.

Page 29: BURMESE BORDER CONSORTIUM REFUGEE RELIEF PROGRAMME · K2 "1ae Paw Moo Hta K3 Ma e Po I-I t.a K4 Kler Thay Lu K5 Mae Ta Waw K6 Mae Salit K7 Sho klo K8 Kl er I

28 Although the Agencies informed MOl of these new programmes in 199 0, no formal approval was given. In 1991 it was necessary to formally request permission from the Thai Authorities to prov ide assistance throughout the four border provinces. On 31 May 1991 the Agencies were given written approval to provide assi s tance under the authority of the Ministry of Interior and in accordance with guidelines laid down by them ( see Appendix B) . The guidelines confirmed earlier informal understandings, limiting assistance to food , clothing and medicine , restricting agency staff to the minimum necessary , and requiring monthly requests to be submitted through the CCSDPT.

The three NGO ' s providing assistance under this agreement can be divided into two c a tegories , thos e prov iding food a nd r elief items such as mosquito nets and bl a nkets, and those prov i d ing medi c al serv ices .

The Bu r mese Border Consortium (formerly the Conso r tium of Christian Agencies) was established in 1984. Several NGO's decided to pool their resources in a joint programme and to fo­cus on food and relief item supplies. The BBC now provides around 95% of all food and relief items supplied to the border and the Catholic Office for Emergency Relief and Refugees ( COERR ) provides most of the balance .

Medecines Sans Frontieres (MSF) is the ma1n medical agency working under agreement with the MOl.

c) BB C Me mber Agencies

Various a gencies have joined and left the Burmese Border Cons or t ium over the yea rs , but contributing Members in 1993 a re :

CCT TBMF lOA IRC JRS ARC

The Church of Christ in Thailand (1984) Thailand Baptist Missionary Fellowship (1984) Refugee Care Netherlands (1984) International Rescue Committee (1990) Jesuit Refugee Service (1990) American Refugee Committee (1992)

The date in parenthisis is the year each agency joined the programme.

d ) Funding Sources

Each of the BBC Members raises funds and during the last twelve months at least 35 different Donors contributed to the programme as listed in Table 4 of Section 8.

Page 30: BURMESE BORDER CONSORTIUM REFUGEE RELIEF PROGRAMME · K2 "1ae Paw Moo Hta K3 Ma e Po I-I t.a K4 Kler Thay Lu K5 Mae Ta Waw K6 Mae Salit K7 Sho klo K8 Kl er I

e) Programme Philosophy

The MOI/NGO regulations requlre NGO staff to be kept to a minimum and they are not allowed to live in the refugee camps ( special agreements apply to MSF's medical staff). The BBC concurs with this policy because the refugee communities are capable of running their own affairs . Minimising expatriate presence also reduces the aid-dependency observed in other refugee situations and helps to preserve the refugees' own culture and life-styles, making eventual return to their homes less problematical.

f) BBC Staff and Offices

29

The BBC has just ~hree full-time staff. Currently Victor Neumann is the Coordinator in Mae Sot responsible for Karen and Karenni refugees in Tak and Mae Hong Son Provinces. Sally Thompson is the Coordinator in Sangkhlaburi responsible for Mon, Karen and Tavoyan refugees in Kanchanaburi Province. Adam Caro is overall coordinator for the programme working from the CCSDPT office in Bangkok.

Victor Neumann and Sally Thompson have offices in Mae Sot and Sangkhlaburi with some storage space for emergency relief items.

The Consortium member agencies transfer funds to a programme account held by TBMF. TBMF transfers funds to Mae Sot, Kan­chanaburi or Bangkok, where the Coordinators purchase sup­plies and arrange any necessary permits with the Thai autho­rities. They also monitor deliveries and assess needs in cooperation with the refugee committees.

g) Proaramme Management

The Consortium member agencies meet each month in Bangkok. Policy issues are discussed, assistance requests considered, and the ongoing programme agreed by concensus . Membership is open to any agency wishing to share in the programme and work within its policies . All contributing agency represen­tatives are invited to participate in the monthly meetings.

h) Financial Statements

The BBC produces monthly income and expenditure statements and, since 1992, six Monthly summary reports. During 1992 project accounting procedu,es were standardised and an ex­ternal audit was undertaken by Coopers and Lybrand for the

period 1 January to 30 June. The BBC now 1 July to 30 June and accounts are The first annual audit, for the period June 1993, is set out in Appendi x E.

i) Coordination with Refugee Committees

financial year is audited annually 1 July 1992 to 30

The BBC provides all assistance in coordination with the refugee committees of each of the three main ethnic groups, the Karen Refuaee Committee based in Mae Sot. the Karenni Refugee Committee based in Mae Hong Son, and the Mon National Relief Committee based in Sangkhlaburi. Each of these three Committees sends r eports back to 88C each month recording assistance received from BBC and all other sources , refugee population statistics, and issues of concern.

APPENDIX B

Approximate Translation

RE: The provision of assistance to Burmese minorities who have fled into Thailand.

TO: CCSDPT

This is in regard to the CCSDPT's request for permission for humanitarian agencies to provide medicines, food and items of necessity to minorities of Burma who have fled into Thailand for reasons related to human rights,in the border areas of Mae Hong Son, Tak, Kanchanaburi and Prachuab Kiri Khan Provinces.

The National Security Council raised this matter in a meeting of the governmental bodies concerned on 25 April 1991. It was decided at the meeting that the Ministry of Interior would outline a 'procedure for the supervision of relief agencies in the provision of assistance to minorities, according to guide­lines established.

Having considered the matter, the MOl has come up with the followin g procedure :

1. Private organizations who intend to provide assistance to Burmese minorities in Thai - Burmese border areas in Mae Hong Son, Tak, Kanchanaburi and Prachuab Kiri Khan Pro­vinces must submit a proposal to the MOl through the CCSDPT every time (assistance is to be given).

2. The CCSDPT will submit proposals to the permission for relief agencies to provide following details are to be included:

MOl requesting assistance. The

2.1 The quantities of goods to be provided.

2.3 The number and names of staff members involved.

2 . 4 The e xact period during which the assistance is to be provided, including the correct month, day and year.

3. The MOl will consider the requests and instruct the Office of the Governor as follows

33

3_1 To assess the suitability of the location in which activi­ties are to be carried out_ The location must be inside Thailand_ Activities must be carried out with caution and in suitable areas_ In areas which are unsafe for relief agency staff, or where the security of Thailand is threatened, the MOl may withhold permission to proceed_

3_2 Assistance may be given to civilians only and there is to be no publicity_

3_3 The social and psychological effects on (citizens of) the Kingdom of Thailand in the areas concerned must be taken into consideration_ If necessary, assistance will have to be provided to the Kingdom of lnailand as well_

3_4 Assistance is to be limited to food, clothing and medi­cines_ Medicines and medical supplies must pass the inspection of the Provincial Health Office for determina­tion of their suitability_

3_5 Relief agency staff are to be keot to a minimum and will not be allowed to reside on site_ In cases where large numbers of personnel are required , there should be coor­dination with the Provincial Office so that Provincial Office employees may be included_

4_ The MOl will inform the CCSDPT of its decision every tim~ ( a request is made) , after which time permission will be granted for direct coordination with the Provincial Office_

5_ If any relief agency fails to follow the steps outlined above, the MOl will immediately revoke permission to proceed_

Respectfully,

Nai Chamnan Pochana Assistant Deputy Minister for the Deputy Interior

Ministry

APPENDIX C ]J}{llE; ®f§1LF~ !ffR@~

a) Royal Thai Government Regulations

Each month the BBC submits lists of items to be delivered to each camp, and the expected delivery dates. Copies are for­warded to the Provincial Authorities.

b) Food Rations

34

The refugee diet is ess,entiall y rice, f ish paste, sal t and chillis, supplemented with leaves and roots from the forest. Each of the refugee groups has its own method for calcula­ting the basic rice requirement but in each case it works out at around 100 kgs/6 adults/month, which is about 550 gms/ adult/day. Children under the age of five are calculated at one half the adult ration.

The refugees have not been entirely dependant on the relief programme for their food requirements and have shown commen­dable willingness to be self-sufficient where possible. Their support organisations still control territory on the Burmese side of the border, trade on the black market, and grow crops in some areas. This however is becoming increa­singly problematical with the Burmese Army making territorial advances, and most of this income is used up by the war effort and sustaining the population remaining inside Burma. Some refugees are also able to get low paid seasonal work in Thailand and, of course, they forage ln the surrounding forest, keep small kitchen gardens and a limited amount , of livestock in the camps. Given this degree of self-sufficiency, the policy of the relief agencies supplying the camps has been to aim to cover at least 90 percent of basic food needs. At this level life in the Camps remains simple and poor, but probably not inconsistent with standards in their former vil­lages, or in Thai villages in the area. The rice supplied is "AI Special Broken Rice ., according to Thai standards, packed in 100 kg sacks.

A careful watch has been kept for signs of malnutrition in the Karen camps and Medecins Sans Frontieres runs a supple­mentary feeding programme for four vulnerable groups, under weight children, pregnant women, lactating women and tubercu­losis patients. The budget for ingredients is provided by the Burmese Border Consortium and includes eggs, dried fish, beans, sugar, milk, vegetable oil and fishpaste. Similar programmes are now being started in the Mon and southern Karen camps.

3 5 During 1993 iodized salt has been introduced for all of the refugee groups. With rice prices fluctuating wildly an exhaus­tive study was also made of available rice grades and pr1ces during the yea r. The staff met with rice experts and market p,ices are now being monitored on a continuous basis.

c) Relief Items

The main relief supplies are mosquito nets and blankets. With malaria a nd respiratory diseases being the major health pro­blems these items are essential. They have to be supplied and reolaced on a regular basis because they wea r out rapidl y with heavy use and rough conditions in crowded bamboo houses. Ma jor distributions are usu a lly made once each year . Whe r e practical sleeping mats are supplied as well.

Other emergency needs are catered for from time ticularly during camp evacuations , fighting, and

to time par­camp reloca­water drums tions. Items have included plastic sheeting,

and cooking utensils.

Building materials are not roofing is ' given wh~n camps season and the materials are

usually supplied but sometimes have to be moved during the wet difficult to find.

d J Ed~cational Supplies

The' refugees sustain all community activities themselves ~ncluding schools from kindergarten through high school. Annual donations of basic school supplies for the teachers and pupils are made by the Consortium.

f) Purchasing Procedures

Food All food items are purchased locally, usually in Sang­khlaburi, Mae Sot and Mae Hong Son. Normally purchases are made monthly but rice is sometimes purchased in advance to secure good prices. In these instances the rice is stored by the supplier and delivered on request. The BBC does not store food itself . For the more remote camps on the border food has to be stockpiled for the rainy season ( up to 6 months depending on location) because the camps are inaccessible by truck. Rice is temporarily stored in sheds in the camps be­fore being distributed to the refugees.

Prices are constantly checked and tions are obtained when requested European Community)

formal competitive quota­by large Donors ( mainly

Other Items. Miscellaneous Supplies such as sleeping mats or roofing are usually purchased locally, but large orders for items such as mosquito nets and blankets are placed annually in Bangkok. These are transported to the BBC Mae Sot and Sangkhlaburi offices from where they are distributed to the camps under BBC superv ision. Emergency stocks are held in the offices for distribution to new arrivals.

g ) Transportation

Rice prices for the main Karen camps in Tak Prov ince include tra nsportation which is provided by the supplier. For all o t her camps local transportation by truck or by boat has to be arranged a nd paid for , usuall y on a price pe r sack basis and according to distance. For some camps, which are so remote that hauliers will not travel there , the BB C supplies funds for using logging trucks or other forms of local trans­port such as elephants. The BBC Staff organise the neces­sary permits from the local Thai authorities.

h) Delivery

The frequency of delivery varies by location. For the main Karen camps in Tak Province delivery is every two weeks ; for the Mon and Karen camps supplied from Sangkhlaburi delivery is usu a lly monthly; but for the more remote Karen and Karenni camps in Mae Hong Son Province delive r y is usuallo/ for two or three months. During the rainy sea son remote Camps have _ to be stockpiled for up to s i x months.

i ) Distribution

BBC staff arrange and check deliveries to camps where the food is held temporarily in storage sheds . The Refugee Camp Committees ack nowledge receipt of the supplies and check weights on delivery. The committee is responsible for distribution which usually takes place immediately after ar­rival . Each family has a ration card stating their entitle­ment, and they are called to the delivery point for distribu­tion.

j) Quality Control/Returns

There are no professional quality checks, but BBC staff constantly request feed-back on quality from the Camp Offi­ci a ls. Bad supplies are returned to the suppliers who re­place any which are defective. Rice sacks are collect~d from t he Karen camps and bought back by the supplier .

TO THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF BURMESE BORDER CONSORTIUM

a member fIrm 01 Coopers & Lybrand (International)

We have examined the statement of assets, liabilities and fund balances arising from cash transactions of the Burmese Border Consortium as at June 30, 1993 and the statement of revenues collected and expenses paid for the year then ended. Our examination was made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, accordingly, included such tests of the accounting records and such other auditing procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.

As described in Note 1 to the financial statements the Burmese Border Consortium's policy is to prepare its financial statements on the basis of cash receipts and disbursements; consequently, certain revenue and the related assets are recognized when received rather than when earned, and certain expenses are recognized when paid rather than when the obligation is incurred. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements are not intended to present the financial position and results of operations in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly the assets, liabilities and fund balances arising from cash transactions of the Burmese Border Consortium as at June 30, 1993 and the revenues collected and expenses paid during the year then ended, on the basis of accounting described in Note 1.

2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(b) Supplies, medicine and other assets in kind

Supplies, medicine and other assets in kind are recorded as income at the market value or appraised value at the date of receipt.

RELATED ORGANISATIONS

These financial statements have been prepared to reflect all income and expenses received or paid on behalf of the BBC regardless of which organisation was the source.
