  • Unlocking Civil Society and Peace in Myanmar
    UNLOCKING CIVIL SOCIETY AND PEACE IN MYANMAR Opportunities, obstacles and undercurrents ABOUT THE COVER DESIGN: The cover design is a reflection of the dynamism of civil society in Myanmar, which is inherently complex, fluid, and interconnected. The bar charted along the outer circumference of the circle depicts the number of people working in each organisation. The inner lines meet when one of those people is engaged or connected with another organisation. The many crossings show how civil society interacts, networks, grows and expands. Alone they are each significant but together they make broad, impactful strokes. This visualisation was created using primary data collected throughout the research process for this Discussion Paper.

  • Mon State & Kayin State
    MON STATE & KAYIN STATE Ministry of Hotels & Tourism Office No.33 | Nay Pyi Taw +95 (0)67 4061 30 +95 (0)67 4064 54 [email protected] HIGHLIGHTS Individual, culturally rich and scenically inspiring Mon Boasting varied landscapes which include islands, hills, tropical forest, crop land and plantations, Mon State covers the upper part of the Tanintharyi Peninsula. Its capital, Mawlamyine (also known Mawlamyaing) is Myanmar’s 4th largest city, and the capital of the former British Empire. The state is renowned for Kyaikhtiyo Pagoda, aptly named Golden Rock, and Win Sein Taw Ya, which is the site of the world’s largest reclining Buddha statue. Such rich religious cultural heritage is unsurprising given that Mon is where Theravada Buddhism was first established in Myanmar some 2,500 years ago. Kayin Encircled by karst limestone peaks that soar out of lush green paddy fields, Hpa An, is the picturesque capital of Kayin State (also known as Karen). Most famous for its impressive and very sacred limestone caves, Kayin State also offers many scenic spots comprising of hills and rivers, and farmlands. A popular place to start the ascent of Mount Zwegabin is Lumbini Garden, home to over 1,100 Buddha statues. Take time to appreciate the stunning views of this mountainous area before taking a slow boat down the Thanlyin River to exotic Mawlamyine in Mon State. Mon - a place of WELCOME TO spiritual birth and rebirth Mon State is vibrantly spiritual; monasteries offer insight awareness meditation (satipatthana vipassana), and Pa Auk Taw MON & KAYIN Ya, which at 500 acres is one of the largest meditation centres in Myanmar, is about 10km from Mawlamyine.
