For more than 20 years, refugees from Burma have been fleeing to Thailand to seek refuge from the practices of human rights abuse, forced labour, arbitrary arrest and detention, torture, and extrajudicial killing, carried out by the authoritarian regime in Burma. Of the hundreds of thousands of Burmese who currently reside in Thailand, some 150,000 live in refugee camps, where opportunities for durable solutions to their protracted displacement have, until recently, been scarce. Since 2005, however, efforts to resettle considerable numbers of Burmese refugees to third countries have been underway. As the resettlement program gathers momentum and people prepare to depart for a new life in third countries, there is a clear need to understand the impact on camp management and services. For many people, resettlement offers renewed hope, opportunities, and a permanent solution away from prolonged encampment. However, the departure of skilled, educated, and experienced camp staff and community leaders from camp programs and services has generated concerns about how best to mitigate the negative impacts on service delivery to the remaining camp population.
