    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by YorkSpace CHALLENGES OF HUMANITARIAN AID INTERNATIONAL NON-GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATIONS (INGOs) IN MYANMAR KHIN MAY-KYAWT A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS GRADUATE PROGRAM IN INTERDISCIPLINARY STUDIES YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO JUNE 2019 ©Khin May-Kyawt, 2019 ii ABSTRACT In Myanmar, there are currently over 100 INGOs, and out of these, 43 are providing humanitarian aid and development activities in conjunction with eight UN organizations. However, whether humanitarian operations have positively or negatively impacted Myanmar is underreported. A backlash against INGOs arose in the wake of 2012, and suspicions about misappropriation of aid resources and mismanagement of funds seem to have become more controversial after the aid agencies jumped into the Rakhine crisis under the agenda of humanitarian violations. This research is based on a literature review, relevant case study analysis, and 10 semi-structured interviews with humanitarian activists of the Myanmar Diaspora in Canada. The primary objective of this research is to investigate how humanitarian aid INGOs contextualize their work in Myanmar’s post-democracy period and to see how said work links to the challenges associated with projects in the area of ethnic conflict. Based on the findings, a culturally appropriate framework is introduced for the efficacy of Myanmar’s humanitarian aid INGOs. In this study, I argue that humanitarian aid INGOs fail to apply “outside-in thinking” in the decision-making process when implementing aid projects in Myanmar, which is a developing country with multi-rooted conflicts.
