In July 2022, the Diaspora Emergency Action & Coordination (DEMAC) spotlighted the Institute of Chin Affairs Inc. (ICA) in its publication, “Diaspora Humanitarian Responses & Engagement Good Practices.”

In response to the humanitarian crisis triggered by conflict in Burma, ICA initiated fundraising campaigns and collaborated with diaspora organizations to support affected populations in Chin State and the Sagaing Region. Leveraging on-the-ground field monitors, ICA identified priority needs and disbursed funds directly to community leaders. This ensured that aid reached vulnerable groups effectively through a system of continuous verification and adaptive measures.
