  • Feasibility Assessment on Forecast-Based Action in the Republic of the Union of Myanmar
    FEASIBILITY ASSESSMENT ON FORECAST-BASED ACTION IN THE REPUBLIC OF THE UNION OF MYANMAR ပြည်ထ ောင်စု သ搹မတ ပ搹န်搹ောန ုင်ငံထတော်တွင် လုြ်ထောင်န ုင်ထသော လုြ်ထ ောင်ချက်搹ျောျားအတွက်ပြစ်န ုင်ထချရ ထသော န်ျားစစ်搹搹ျော Karoliina Pilli-Sihvola; Finnish Red Cross Tuuli Laitila; Finnish Red Cross Moe Thida Win, Myanmar Red Cross Society October 2020 i EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Introduction 1. Myanmar is exposed and vulnerable to various hydro-meteorological hazards which cause serious humanitarian impacts and consequences. To reduce the loss and damage from the hazards requires a shift from disaster response toward forecast based early actions, including innovative instruments, such as the use of Shock Responsive Social Protection measures to increase the resilience of people and communities. 2. Anticipatory Action, that is Forecast-based Action (FbA), Forecast-based Financing (FbF) and Early Warning Early Action (EWEA) are all initiatives which aim at using weather, climate and impact-based forecasts to trigger actions which reduce the loss and damage from hazards. For clarification, this report uses the term Forecast-based Action to describe the initiatives. 3. In Myanmar, the development of an FbA system is on-going as part of the European Union funded project “Scaling up Forecast based Financing/Early Warning Early Action (FbF/EWEA) and Shock Responsive Social Protection (SRSP) with innovative use of climate risk information for disaster resilience in ASEAN”. The project is led by UN FAO, and the consortium includes UNICEF, WFP and the German Red Cross. This project is complemented by various other projects implemented by the project consortium partners. 4. This report presents recommendations for the development of a sustainable FbA system in Myanmar based on a feasibility assessment.

  • Feasibility Study on Reduction of Greenhouse Gas Emissions at Thanlyin Oil Refinery by the Modernization of Existing Facilities
    N E DO- I C-OOER3 1 Feasibility Study on Reduction of Greenhouse Gas Emissions at Thanlyin Oil Refinery by the Modernization of Existing Facilities March, 2001 New Energy and industrial Technologies Development Organization (NEDO) Entrusted to Cosmo Engineering Co, , Ltd. 020005096- Feasibility Study on Reduction of Greenhouse Gas Emissions at Thanlyin Oil Refinery by the Modernization of Existing Facilities Cosmo Engineering Co., Ltd. March, 2001 Study Purpose; At the Third Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP 3), "The Kyoto Protocol” defining a target of the reduction of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide for the industrialized countries was adopted to prevent the ongoing global warming. Here, the international remedies such as "Jointed Implementation (JI)” and “Clean Development Mechanism (CDM)" are determined to flexibly trade the amount of the countries’ reduction through actual implementation of projects. Japan should also utilize these means to achieve our target. This report summarizes the survey for a project of energy saving and greenhouse gas reduction by introducing modern refinery facilities to Thanlyin Refinery, Myanma Petrochemical Enterprise and for future CDM.

  • Islamic Education in Myanmar: a Case Study
    10: Islamic education in Myanmar: a case study Mohammed Mohiyuddin Mohammed Sulaiman Introduction `Islam', which literally means `peace' in Arabic, has been transformed into a faith interpreted loosely by one group and understood conservatively by another, making it seem as if Islam itself is not well comprehended by its followers. Today, it is the faith of 1.2 billion people across the world; Asia is a home for 60 per cent of these adherents, with Muslims forming an absolute majority in 11 countries (Selth 2003:5). Since the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001, international scholars have become increasingly interested in Islam and in Muslims in South-East Asia, where more than 230 million Muslims live (Mutalib 2005:50). These South-East Asian Muslims originally received Islam from Arab traders. History reveals the Arabs as sea-loving people who voyaged around the Indian Ocean (IIAS 2005), including to South-East Asia. The arrival of Arabs has had different degrees of impact on different communities in the region. We find, however, that not much research has been done by today's Arabs on the Arab±South-East Asian connection, as they consider South-East Asia a part of the wider `East', which includes Iran, Central Asia and the Indian subcontinent. Indeed, the term `South-East Asia' is hardly used in modern Arab literature. For them, anything east of the Middle East and non-Arabic speaking world is considered to be `Asia' (Abaza 2002). According to Myanmar and non-Myanmar sources, Islam reached the shores of Myanmar's Arakan (Rakhine State) as early as 712 AD, via oceangoing merchants, and in the form of Sufism.

  • 2009 October 26, 2009 Highly Repressive, Authoritarian Military Regimes Have Ruled the Country Since 1962
    Burma Page 1 of 12 Burma BUREAU OF DEMOCRACY, HUMAN RIGHTS, AND LABOR International Religious Freedom Report 2009 October 26, 2009 Highly repressive, authoritarian military regimes have ruled the country since 1962. In May 2008 the Government announced voters had approved a new draft Constitution in a nationwide referendum. Democracy activists and the international community widely criticized the referendum as seriously flawed. The new Constitution provides for freedom of religion; however, it also grants broad exceptions that allow the regime to restrict those rights at will. Although authorities generally permitted most adherents of registered religious groups to worship as they choose, the Government imposed restrictions on certain religious activities and frequently abused the right to freedom of religion. There was no change in the Government’s limited degree of respect for religious freedom during the reporting period. Religious activities and organizations were subject to restrictions on freedom of expression, association, and assembly. The Government continued to monitor meetings and activities of virtually all organizations, including religious organizations. The Government continued to systematically restrict efforts by Buddhist clergy to promote human rights and political freedom. Many of the Buddhist monks arrested in the violent crackdown that followed pro-democracy demonstrations in September 2007, including prominent activist monk U Gambira, remained in prison serving long sentences. The Government also actively promoted Theravada Buddhism over other religions, particularly among members of ethnic minorities. Christian and Islamic groups continued to struggle to obtain permission to repair existing places of worship or build new ones. The regime continued to closely monitor Muslim activities. Restrictions on worship for other non-Buddhist minority groups also continued.

  • China, India, and Myanmar: Playing Rohingya Roulette?
    CHAPTER 4 China, India, and Myanmar: Playing Rohingya Roulette? Hossain Ahmed Taufiq INTRODUCTION It is no secret that both China and India compete for superpower standing in the Asian continent and beyond. Both consider South Asia and Southeast Asia as their power-play pivots. Myanmar, which lies between these two Asian giants, displays the same strategic importance for China and India, geopolitically and geoeconomically. Interestingly, however, both countries can be found on the same page when it comes to the Rohingya crisis in Myanmar’s Rakhine state. As the Myanmar army (the Tatmadaw) crackdown pushed more than 600,000 Rohingya refugees into Bangladesh, Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi’s government was vociferously denounced by the Western and Islamic countries.1 By contrast, China and India strongly sup- ported her beleaguered military-backed government, even as Bangladesh, a country both invest in heavily, particularly on a competitive basis, has sought each to soften Myanmar’s Rohingya crackdown and ease a medi- ated refugee solution.

Hussain (ed.), South Asia in Global Power Rivalry, Global Political Transitions, https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-13-7240-7_4 82 H. A. TAUFIQ China’s and India’s support for Myanmar is nothing new. Since the Myanmar military seized power in September 1988, both the Asian pow- ers endeavoured to expand their influence in the reconfigured Myanmar to protect their national interests, including heavy investments in Myanmar, particularly in the Rakhine state.
