In the post-independence period, comprehensive population and housing censuses were only successfully undertaken in 1973, 1983 and most recently in April 2014. Censuses are an important source of benchmark information on the characteristics of the population and households in every country. One unique feature of a census is its ability to provide information down to the lowest administrative level. Such information is vital for planning and evidence based decision-making at every level. Additional data uses include allocation of national resources; the review of administrative boundaries; the positioning of social infrastructures, drawing national development plans, service provision and developing social infrastructure, and for humanitarian preparedness and response. The results of the 2014 Census have been published so far in a number of volumes. The first was the Provisional Results released in August 2014. The Census Main Results were launched in May 2015. These included The Union Report, Highlights of the Main Results, and reports of each of the 15 States and Regions. The reports on Occupation and Industry and Religion were launched in March 2016 and July 2016, respectively. All the publications are available online at http://www.dop.gov.mm/ and http:// myanmar. unfpa.org/node/15104. The current set of the 2014 Census publications comprise township and sub-township reports. Their preparation involved collaborative efforts of the Department of Population and UNFPA. This report contains selected demographic and socio-economic characteristics of Myaing Township in Magway Region. The information included in this report is the situation of 2014 March 29, Census night. Township level information is very important. However, the level of confidence of township estimates is not the same as Union level information. Some of the townships have relatively

Even before Myanmar’s accession to UNCCD, measures relating to combating desertification have been taken at the local and national levels. In 1994, the Ministry of Forestry (MOF) launched a 3-year "Greening Project for the Nine Critical Districts" of Sagaing, Magway and Mandalay Divisions in the Dry Zone. This was later extended to 13 districts with the creation of new department, the Dry Zone Greening Department (DZGD) in 1997. 1.3 The Government has stepped up its efforts on preventing land degradation and combating desertification in recent years. The most significant effort is the rural area development programme envisaged in the current Third Short-Term Five-Year Plan (2001-2002 to 2005-2006).

  • An Analysis of the Right to a Nationality in Myanmar
    Foreword Many women in Myanmar do not have full access to the rights guaranteed by the applicable domestic and international legal framework. This is partly due to a large portion of the population bearing the burden of an insecure legal identity. According to Census data, almost a third of the population of Myanmar do not have a form of identity document, 54% of those who do not have identity cards are women. In this sense, a common goal of the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC), the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), and UN Women is to improve the protection of women in Myanmar through the recognition of legal identity rights, including access to civil documents and citizenship, and thus improving access to the services that are dependent on a secure legal identity. Hence, the NRC in Myanmar, UNHCR and UN Women seek to remove legal and practical obstacles concerning access to documents and citizenship, paying attention to the gender dimension of such obstacles. In this context, this report ¬aims to expand existing knowledge on the gender dimension and the impact that the the current legislation and the factual lack of documentation to confirm citizenship has for women. Efforts to improve gender equality in citizenship issues are ongoing. The UNHCR has an important presence in Myanmar and plays an essential role in coordinating protection actors. UN Women is promoting gender equality through advocacy, research and other activities. Since June 2012, NRC has been supporting the Myanmar Ministry of Immigration, Labour & Populations (MoLIP) to speed up the issuance of national identity cards to conflict-affected communities in the South East.
