Provide brief information comparing actual accomplishments with the goals and objectives established for the period. The Grantee should report on progress made towards achieving the milestones associated with the grant agreement. a. Insert Milestone A and describe accomplishments under this milestone. b. Insert Milestone B and describe accomplishments under this milestone. c. Insert Milestone C and describe accomplishments under this milestone. 2. If applicable, explain reasons why established goals for the reporting period were not met. 3. Describe any project barriers that were overcome during the implementation of the project. Accomplishments At the beginning of the project, GPS could successfully prepare for the recruitment of the staffs, TOT training and organizing of the awareness raising trainings in the refugee camps. In July and August 2017, GPS could recruit the staffs, bought the office accessories and started to communicate with the local CSOs from Lashio, Northern Shan State to be able to organize the Human Trafficking Prevention TOT training and to be able to help the court cases. GPS contacted with Northern Shan State Women Organization Network – WON, Ta’ang Women Organization – TWO, Tai Youth Organization – TYO, Kachin Women Association Thailand - KWAT and Northern Shan Kachin Youths to be able to organize the Human Trafficking Prevention TOT training in Lashio. The director went to Lashio from 1st August to 4th August 2017 and met with these organizations. These organizations could help recruit the trainees and in logistic. When contacting to Equality Myanmar, the trainers from them will be available only in October 2017. So GPS decided to hire the TOT trainer from Mawk Kon Organization based in Eastern Shan State which is also the grantee of PRLP. They first said they will be available at the last week of August 2017. So GPS set the date for TOT in the last week of August 2017 but later they said they will be available on at the last week of September since they will have to prepare for the Anti-Human Trafficking Day on 13th September 2017. So GPS contacted with WON (Women Organization Network) and set the dates for the TOT training to be from 11th September to 16th September 2017. After that, GPS has planned to organize two Human Trafficking Prevention Trainings in Ta’ang camp from 23rd to 25th September 2017. Now GPS could organized the TOT training successfully from 15th September to 20th September 2017. Although it was previously planned to organize it from 11th Sept to 16th Sept 2017, TOT trainer from Northern Shan State-WON had the minor operation so it had to be postponed to 15-20 Sept 2017. There was the Prevention of Human Trafficking and Legal TOT Training from 15th Sept to 20th Sept 2017 in the Training Hall of Northern Shan State Women Organization Network (NSS-WON) office, Lashio, Northern Shan State. Participants There were 20 participants in this training. 6 Ta’ag invited by Ta’ang Women Organization - TWO 5 Kachin invited by NET 4 Shan and 1 Barman invited by Tai Youth Organization - TYO 2 Shan, 1 Lisu and 1 Lahu invited by Northern Shan State WON All the participants were youths between the age of 20 and 30 and had at least High School Education. About half were from the local CSOs and all of them were activists in the regions. P a g e 2 | 11 TOT Trainers From 15th to 17th, the TOT trainer from WON took care of the training. On other days, a trainer who used to work in Oxfam’s gender department, the legal officer of GPS and the project coordinators of GPS were facilitating the trainings. The project In-charge was there and also helped the training. At the end of the TOT training, 6 trainers for three communities (Shan, Kachin and Ta’ang) could be selected and a draft module for the Human Trafficking Prevention and Legal training to be organized in the camps. Court Representation For the Court Representation for the Human Trafficking case, in mid-August, Northern Shan State Women Organization Network brought a case. In which over 10 kids from Hseni Township were brought by a woman to China for work in 2016 and they were home in 2017 but they did not get any salaries from the Chinese boss. When they asked to the boss, he said the woman took all the salaries already. When asked, the woman said she did not know anything. So the kids and their parents wanted to prosecute the broker woman. GPS decided it will need more detail information. So GPS planned to talk about it on the monitoring trip of the Assistant Project Coordinator (Legal) in September 2017. From 18th Sept to 19th Sept 2017, the assistant coordinator (Legal) went to Lashio, Northern Shan State as the monitoring trip. She met with the above clients in Lashio and discussed about this case. She met them twice and they agreed that the assistant coordinator will develop the case and open it on 26th September 2017 and the project coordinator will have to take care of it with the clients. But after developing all documents needed, when the coordinator called to the clients to go on the process, the clients said that their relatives have been involved in this case and because of their request, they decided not to go on the case. Although the coordinator kept encouraging them to do, they also kept refusing. GPS’s Assistant Coordinator (Legal) talked with the local lawyers and one of the lawyers has brought Human Trafficking case to GPS. So the Assistant Coordinator (Legal) talked with the responsible Police Officer for the case. In this case, a girl was trafficked to China by two traffickers. The case was already filed on 17th October 2017. GPS started to talk with the Thinking Classroom Foundation – TCF and Democratic Education Corner – DEC for the Critical Thinking training. After that, GPS and DEC set the training date to be from 1st to 3rd October 2017. In September, October and November 2017, GPS could organize the critical thinking training for its staffs. It was from 1st September to 3rd September 2017 in GPS main office. The trainer was from Democratic Education Corner – DEC and used to be with TCF (Thinking Classroom Foundation). There were 25 participants in it and 9 were women. There were 6 Human Trafficking Prevention trainings in three refugee camps of Northern Shan State. There were 2 trainings in Gonegyan camps (Ta’ang Camps), Kutkai Township, Northern Shan State from 22nd September to 24th September 2017; 2 trainings in Monesee camps (Kachin Camps), Kutkai Township, Northern Shan State from 11th October to 13th October 2017. 2 trainings in Zutaung camp (Kachin Camps), Kutkai Township, Northern Shan State from 16th October to 18th October 2017.

There were 180 participants in these trainings and 127 were females; 53were males. Respective ethnic trainers (Shan) took care of the trainings. In June 2018, GPS went to the Northern Shan State as the last monitoring trip in which, GPS more focused on the follow up activities of the trainees of the Anti-human trafficking trainings and also monitored about the court representation cases. Findings If applicable, the Grantee shall immediately notify PRLP of developments that have a significant impact on the award-supported activities. Notification should be given in the case of problems, delays, or adverse conditions which materially impair the ability to meet the objectives of the award. This notification shall include a statement of the action taken or contemplated, and any assistance needed to resolve the situation. Findings - When talking with the local CSOs, GPS had to realize that they need more Human Trafficking Prevention Training in the villages of the areas more than in the Refugee Camps.

  • SHAN STATE a Snapshot of Child Wellbeing BASIC INFORMATION
    SHAN STATE A Snapshot of Child Wellbeing BASIC INFORMATION Area: 155,457.45 sq. km Total population: 4,493,308 Rural: 3,447,611 Urban: 1,045,697 0-14 years: 1,431,049 Languages: Myanmar, Other Administrative divisions: 13 Districts, 55 Townships, 491 Wards, 15,902 Villages Capital: Taunggyi Main economic activities: Mining, Forestry, Agriculture SOCIO-ECONOMIC CONTEXT Located in eastern Myanmar, Shan State is bordered by China to the north, China and Laos to the east, Thailand and Kayah and Kayin States to the south, and Mandalay and Sagaing Regions to the west. Occupying about a quarter of Myanmar’s total land area, it is the largest of all states and regions in the country. Shan State is endowed with vast reserves of timber, coal, metals and precious stones. It is famous for its garden produce as the temperate climate lends itself to growing a variety of fruits and vegetables. And it is also home to Inle Lake, one of the biggest tourist attractions in Myanmar. However, years of civil and political strife, coupled with large scale illegal production of opium and heroin, have adversely affected socio-economic development in the State despite the tremendous potential. Now home to 5 of the 6 self-administered areas in the country, and with continued conflict between the Government and ethnic armies on some fronts, vast areas in the State remain un- reached by essential public services and household-based data collection exercises alike. It is therefore highly plausible that the socio-economic situation may actually be worse than indicated by available data.

    UNITED STATES INSTITUTE OF PEACE PEACEBRIEF234 United States Institute of Peace • www.usip.org • Tel. 202.457.1700 • @usip September 2017 DAVID SCOTT MATHIESON Burma’s Northern Shan State Email: [email protected] and Prospects for Peace Summary • Increased armed conflict between the Burmese Army and several ethnic armed organizations in northern Shan State threaten the nationwide peace process. • Thousands of civilians have been displaced, human rights violations have been perpetrated by all parties, and humanitarian assistance is being increasingly blocked by Burmese security forces. • Illicit economic activity—including extensive opium and heroin production as well as transport of amphetamine stimulants to China and to other parts of Burma—has helped fuel the conflict. • The role of China as interlocutor between the government, the military, and armed actors in the north has increased markedly in recent months. • Reconciliation will require diverse advocacy approaches on the part of international actors toward the civilian government, the Tatmadaw, ethnic armed groups, and civil society. To facili- tate a genuinely inclusive peace process, all parties need to be encouraged to expand dialogue and approach talks without precondition. Even as Burma has “transitioned from decades Introduction of civil war and military rule Even as Burma has transitioned—beginning in late 2010—from decades of civil war and military to greater democracy, long- rule to greater democracy, long-standing and widespread armed conflict has resumed between several ethnic armed organizations (EAOs) and the Burmese armed forces (Tatmadaw). Early in standing and widespread 2011, a 1994 ceasefire agreement broke down as relations deterioriated in the wake of the National armed conflict has resumed.” League for Democracy government’s refusal to permit Kachin political parties to participate in the elections that ended the era of military rule in the country.
