Description: "We are strongly opposed to any dams on the free-flowing Salween River, a vital artery sustaining millions of ethnic people in eastern Burma. Any blockage to its mighty flow would have far-reaching environmental and social impacts. However, the general perception in central Burma appears to be that the Salween is at a remote edge of the country, and dams will have little impact. In particular there is little public knowledge about the Salween in ?remote” northeastern Shan State. We therefore wish to highlight some specific concerns about the Naung Pha Dam as follows:..."

Sub-title: Seven years after it was suspended, the Chinese developer of the Myitsone Dam is ramping up efforts to lobby residents amid a strengthening of China-Myanmar relations.
Description: "MUNG RA stands on stage, looking out over the thousands of anti-dam protesters who have come to the confluence where the Ayeyarwady River originates on October 1 to celebrate the seventh anniversary of the suspension of the Myitsone Dam. At the edge of the crowd are English signs with the words “No Dam” and “Free Streaming the Ayeyarwady”. Many people in the audience have pinned badges to their clothing with anti-dam messages. Mung Ra waves a book: Answering Questions on the Extraction of Hydroelectricity from the Ayeyarwady Myitsone, Upper Reaches and River Valley. Published by the dam’s investor, China’s State Power Investment Corporation, it includes a wide range of information on the series of dams the company wants to build on the Ayeyarwady and its tributaries, the N’mai and the Mali rivers, including the structure and potential environmental impact of these dams, and the financial and other benefits for Myanmar. It also explains the company’s investment in the project to date, including the support it has provided to communities displaced by the 6,000 megawatt Myitsone dam project. “The book mentions our resettlement and the health and livelihood assistance [the company gave] but it’s just full of fake information. We never received this [assistance] in the past and we are not receiving it now,” Mung Ra tells the crowd. Mung Ra should know. Originally a resident of Daung Bum, a village located near Myitsone, in 2009 he was forced to move with his family to Maliyang, one of two model villages build by SPIC (then known as China Power Investment Corporation) to house people displaced to make room for the mega-dam, which would flood an area the size of Singapore..."

Description: "In March 2017, the Myanmar Ministry of Social Welfare, Relief and Resettlement’s Department of Social Welfare (MoSWRR–DSW) led the formation of a working group on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for children in collaboration with the Ministry of Planning and Finance’s Central Statistical Organization (MoPF-CSO) and with technical and financial support from the UNICEF Myanmar Country office. Operating under the Government’s Social Statistics Cluster (SSC), part of the national coordination mechanism on statistics, the working group met four times1, over the course of 2017 and early 2018, agreeing a list of 45 priority indicators for children across 9 SDGs. These correspond to 28 official SDG indicators broken down into 36 after the inclusion of some SDG indicators components as a separate indicator, and with the addition of 9 national indicators from plans and strategies for sectors like Health; Education; Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH); Social Protection / Social Welfare. One major focus of the SDGs is to address inequalities and get governments to commit to the reduction of equity gaps over time. This requires dedicated attention and follow-up through the SDG monitoring process. It requires the disaggregation of data by age (including children), sex and other dimensions as well as a recognition of the universality of the SDGs for all groups of the population in Myanmar and for all countries globally..."

Description: "Brave Zu Zu Mi, 10, fled her village after fighting broke out. On her terrifying journey, she protected her siblings as they walked for three days before reaching a camp. Her hope is to become a teacher one day, but access to formal education for displaced children in camps is limited. Unresolved conflict, poverty and under-development are preventing children, like Zu Zu Mi, in remote parts of Myanmar from benefiting from the reform and peace efforts by the government. Investing in children can help steer Myanmar move towards a more prosperous and stable future. All children, from every community, should benefit from the country’s reform and development..."

Description: "The United Nations’ refugee agency and Bangladesh authorities on Tuesday started to consult more than 3,000 Rohingya refugees from Myanmar to determine if any want to return home, officials said, as a fresh repatriation bid was launched. More than 730,000 Rohingya fled Rakhine for neighboring Bangladesh after a military-led crackdown in August 2017 the United Nations has said was perpetrated with “genocidal intent”, but many refugees refuse to go back, fearing more violence. Myanmar cleared 3,450 people to return, from a list of more than 22,000 provided by Bangladesh, authorities said. “The intentions surveys are beginning today,” Louise Donovan, a UNHCR spokeswoman in the Cox’s Bazar district of Bangladesh, told Reuters..."
