  • Rundbrief 03/2018
    Rundbrief März 2018 Liebe Projekt-Burma Freunde, Heute wollen wir Sie wieder einmal über unsere Arbeit in Myanmar informieren und Ihnen unser neues Projektgebiet Kayah State vorstellen. Unser neues Mitglied, Herr Dr. Georg Noack vom Linden-Museum Stuttgart, verbrachte dieses Jahr schon einige Wochen in diesem Gebiet und nach seiner Rückkehr erzählte er uns von den Menschen dort. Er erzählte, wie arm sie sind, welche Probleme sie haben und dass sie dringend unsere Hilfe benötigen. Zuerst für 6 Kindergärten in 6 verschiedenen kleinen Bergdörfern, damit die Kleinen dort gut versorgt sind, während ihre Eltern auf den Feldern für ihr täglich Brot arbeiten. Und auf den nächsten Seiten möchte ich Ihnen gerne ein wenig mehr über dieses Gebiet und die Kinder im Kayah State erzählen. – 2 – Myanmar Information Management Unit Die grüne Fläche ist der Kayah StateDi sundtric unseret Map Projekt- Kaya-Gebieteh State befinden sich in Hoya Parish im Westen. 97°0'E 97°30'E N N ' ' 0 0 ° ° 0 0 2 2 INDIA CHINA SHAN STATE Ü Pekon THAILAND Homein !( Loikaw Loikaw .!

  • Letter to Validation Committee Regarding EITI Civic Space Status Under EITI, Civic Space Within Myanmar Has Made Meaningful Prog
    Letter to Validation Committee regarding EITI Civic Space Status Under EITI, civic space within Myanmar has made meaningful progress. EITI CSO MSG members have direct engagement with union-level government officials through MSG meetings and the EITI has provided an official legal channel for MSG members to raise issues directly with the government. In addition, the MEITI National Coordination Secretariat (NCS) has been helpful in facilitating direct engagement with state and regional-level governments regarding natural resource management issues that are brought up by CSOs in MSG meetings. While these are positive steps, the 2015 Civil Society Protocol clearly envisages a broader conception of civic space: References to ‘civil society representatives’ will include civil society representatives who are substantively involved in the EITI process, including but not limited to members of the multi- stakeholder group. References to the ‘EITI process’ will include activities related to… expressing views related to natural resource governance. Following the spirit of the Civil Society Protocol, the validation committee’s assessment of civic space engagement must not be narrowed to only EITI MSG members. A narrow interpretation of the Protocol bears the risk of isolating civil society groups involved in the EITI from wider civil society. These groups would be seen as operating in a bubble, isolated from the broader, structural problems faced by Myanmar civil society. This, in turn, would have a detrimental effect on the sustainability of EITI implementation in Myanmar as those groups willing to engage in EITI would eventually lose their credibility with the larger civil society community and therefore struggle to maintain a legitimate voice in the MSG.
