The Union is constituted as follows: villages are organised as village-tract; wards are organised as town or township; village-tracts and wards or towns are organised as township; townships are organised as district; districts are organised as Region or State. Since 1983 there was no national census, but the number of inhabitants of each administrative unit is registered in the shi-kauk, checked by police, military, Ya Ya Ka and USDA. Village/Township/ District Peace and Development Councils are the administrations running the respective units. Arakan – Rakhaing - Rakhine Rakhaing/Rakhaings represent Arakanese person/people and Rakhine (State) represents Arakan (State). Arracan/Arakan is first quoted in the Livro de Duarte Barbosa (1516). In this report Rakhine and Arakan are used interchangeably. Exchange Rate Due to the vast discrepancy between the official exchange rate of the kyat and the US dollar (1 US$ = 6.5 kyats) and the black market rate (approx. 1US$ = 1,000 kyats at the time of Cyclone Giri), a rate of 1US$ = 1,000 kyats has been used for monetary comparisons in this report. vii
