Improvement of Meteorological
IMPROVEMENT OF METEOROLOGICAL OBSERVATION SYSTEM IN MYANMAR By Hla Tun Office No (5), Ministry of Transport and Communications, Department of Meteorology and Hydrology, Nay Pyi Taw, Myanmar Tel. +95 67 411 250, +95 9 860 1162, Mobile Phone: +95 250 954 642, Fax : (+95) 67 411 526 E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT The Department of Meteorology and Hydrology (DMH) is under the administration of the Ministry of Transport and Communications. Main works performed by DMH are routine observation and analysis of meteorological phenomena, and providing of timely and accurate weather and climate information through acquisition of weather monitoring and dissemination systems for the general public. DMH also provides meteorological and hydrological information for shipping and aviation as well as agricultural and environment activities. Before Cyclonic Storm "Nargis", (103) surface weather observation stations in Myanmar used manual observing system. As at then, we are improved on installation of Automated Weather Observing Systems at 14 stations including at former Headquarter of National Meteorological Center (NMCs) namely Yangon (Kaba-aye) and new Headquarter of National Meteorological Center (NMCs) namely Nay Pyi Taw. Early months of this year (2016), regarding the Grant Aid Project of Japan, we installed additional Surface Automated Weather Observing Systems (AWS) at existing 30 Meteorological observation stations such as Nay Pyi Taw (Early Warning Center), Yangon (Kaba-aye), Mandalay, Putao, Myitkyina, Bhamo, Lashio, Taunggyi, Kengtung, Namsam, Hakha, Hkamti, Kalay, Monywa, Meikhtila, Magway, Sittwe, Kyauk-phyu, Thandwe, Gwa, Taungu, Bago, Hmawbi, Pathein, Laputta, Loikaw, Hpa-an, Mawlamyine, Dawei and Kawthong. Furthermore, one of the three (3) new Doppler Weather Radars, it is already installed in 2015 and remaining two radars we expected to be completed middle of this year and the project will be complete by next year of 2017. -

Military Brotherhood Between Thailand and Myanmar: from Ruling to Governing the Borderlands
1 Military Brotherhood between Thailand and Myanmar: From Ruling to Governing the Borderlands Naruemon Thabchumphon, Carl Middleton, Zaw Aung, Surada Chundasutathanakul, and Fransiskus Adrian Tarmedi1, 2 Paper presented at the 4th Conference of the Asian Borderlands Research Network conference “Activated Borders: Re-openings, Ruptures and Relationships”, 8-10 December 2014 Southeast Asia Research Centre, City University of Hong Kong 1. Introduction Signaling a new phase of cooperation between Thailand and Myanmar, on 9 October 2014, Thailand’s new Prime Minister, General Prayuth Chan-o-cha took a two-day trip to Myanmar where he met with high-ranked officials in the capital Nay Pi Taw, including President Thein Sein. That this was Prime Minister Prayuth’s first overseas visit since becoming Prime Minister underscored the significance of Thailand’s relationship with Myanmar. During their meeting, Prime Minister Prayuth and President Thein Sein agreed to better regulate border areas and deepen their cooperation on border related issues, including on illicit drugs, formal and illegal migrant labor, including how to more efficiently regulate labor and make Myanmar migrant registration processes more efficient in Thailand, human trafficking, and plans to develop economic zones along border areas – for example, in Mae 3 Sot district of Tak province - to boost trade, investment and create jobs in the areas . With a stated goal of facilitating border trade, 3 pairs of adjacent provinces were named as “sister provinces” under Memorandums of Understanding between Myanmar and Thailand signed by the respective Provincial governors during the trip.4 Sharing more than 2000 kilometer of border, both leaders reportedly understood these issues as “partnership matters for security and development” (Bangkok Post, 2014). -

First Standard Allocation (2021) Strategy Paper
First Standard Allocation (2021) Strategy Paper DEADLINE: Tuesday, 1 June 2021 (09:00am Yangon time) Allocation Summary This document lays the strategy to allocating funds from the Myanmar Humanitarian Fund (MHF) First Standard Allocation in response to the protracted humanitarian crises in Myanmar, in line with the Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP) 2021. The allocation will address the underfunded situation of humanitarian requirements. By 20 April 2021, only 12.5 per cent of the HRP 2021 requirements had been met1. Looking at the most underfunded sectors as per HRP requirements, Education in emergencies (EiE) has not been funded yet, followed by water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) with 1.3 per cent of requirements met; and shelter, non-food items and camp coordination and camp management (Shelter/NFI/CCCM) with 1.7 per cent reached. This standard allocation will make US$10 million available to support coordinated humanitarian assistance and protection, covering displaced people and other vulnerable crisis-affected people in Chin, Rakhine, Kachin and Shan states and the south-eastern part of Myanmar.2 COVID-19 related actions will be mainstreamed throughout the response to the humanitarian needs. In areas identified by the HRP, additional emergency response for people with humanitarian needs as a consequence of the new context since 1 February 2021 will be considered, as per needs assessment and analysis provided during the prioritization process. Additional emergency response beyond the areas indicated in the HRP 2021, particularly urban and peri-urban areas, as a consequence of the developments since 1 February 2021, will not be included under this allocation. -
