On 31 May 2008 the Tripartite Core Group of Government of the Union of Myanmar, ASEAN and the UN agreed to undertake a Post Nargis Joint Assessment (PONJA) to identify the full scale of the impact of the cyclone and the need for both immediate humanitarian assistance and longer term recovery. This project was undertaken in response to that assessment.
