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 Taikkyi Township in Yangon 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

    Myanmar Situation Update (2 - 8 August 2021) Summary

    Myanmar Situation Update (2 - 8 August 2021) Summary As 8 August 2021 marked for Myanmar the 33rd anniversary of the 1988 pro-democracy uprising, a historic protest movement in which the cry for democracy of Myanmar’s people was heard around the world, activists around the country renewed calls to end military rule once and for all. The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) picked Brunei’s second foreign minister, Erywan Yusof, as its special envoy to Myanmar. He has been tasked with opening dialogue between the military rulers and their opponents in an effort to halt the violence, and stated that he should be given full access to all parties in Myanmar. 413 Myanmar civil society organizations released a statement rejecting the special envoy and expressing deep disappointment with ASEAN and their lack of inclusive decision-making process. The junta has approved the appointment as reported by state-controlled media. Myanmar's ambassador to the United Nations who is denounced by the junta, Kyaw Moe Tun said that an apparent threat had been made against him and that U.S. authorities had stepped up his security. Later, two Myanmar citizens were charged with one count of conspiracy to assault or violently attack him. If convicted, they can face a prison sentence of up to five years. Sources reported that conspirators accused of plotting an attack have military ties. Twenty-eight junta-backed political parties, including the Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP), on Wednesday released a joint statement that they would welcome the new elections the military junta says it will hold in the future.
