DEFEAT MALARIA Defeat Malaria is a USAID-funded project with the goal to reduce the malaria burden and control artemisinin- resistant malaria in the targeted areas, thereby contrib- uting to the long-term national goal of eliminating ma- laria in Myanmar. Defeat Malaria has four core objec- tives, including: Objective 1: Achieve and maintain universal cover- age of at-risk populations with proven vector control and case management interventions, while pro- moting the testing of new tools and approaches. Objective 2: Strengthen the malaria surveillance sys- tem to comprehensively monitor progress and in- form the deployment and targeting of appropriate responses and strategies. Objective 3: Enhance technical and operational ca- pacity of the NMCP and other health service provid- ers at all levels of service provision. Objective 4: Promote the involvement of communi- ties, private healthcare providers, private companies and state-owned enterprises in malaria control and elimination initiatives.

  • Bayesian Spatiotemporal Analysis of Malaria Infection Along An
    Thway et al. Malar J (2018) 17:428 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12936-018-2574-0 Malaria Journal RESEARCH Open Access Bayesian spatiotemporal analysis of malaria infection along an international border: Hlaingbwe Township in Myanmar and Tha‑Song‑Yang District in Thailand Aung Minn Thway1, Chawarat Rotejanaprasert1, Jetsumon Sattabongkot2, Siam Lawawirojwong3, Aung Thi4, Tin Maung Hlaing5, Thiha Myint Soe6 and Jaranit Kaewkungwal1* Abstract Background: One challenge in moving towards malaria elimination is cross-border malaria infection. The imple- mented measures to prevent and control malaria re-introduction across the demarcation line between two countries require intensive analyses and interpretation of data from both sides, particularly in border areas, to make correct and timely decisions. Reliable maps of projected malaria distribution can help to direct intervention strategies. In this study, a Bayesian spatiotemporal analytic model was proposed for analysing and generating aggregated malaria risk maps based on the exceedance probability of malaria infection in the township-district adjacent to the border between Myanmar and Thailand. Data of individual malaria cases in Hlaingbwe Township and Tha-Song-Yang District during 2016 were extracted from routine malaria surveillance databases. Bayesian zero-infated Poisson model was developed to identify spatial and temporal distributions and associations between malaria infections and risk factors. Maps of the descriptive statistics and posterior distribution of predicted malaria infections were also developed. Results: A similar seasonal pattern of malaria was observed in both Hlaingbwe Township and Tha-Song-Yang District during the rainy season. The analytic model indicated more cases of malaria among males and individuals aged 15 years.

  • The Situation in Karen State After the Elections PAPER No
    EBO ANALYSIS The Situation in Karen State after the Elections PAPER No. 1 2011 THE SITUATION IN KAREN STATE AFTER THE ELECTIONS EBO Analysis Paper No. 1/2011 For over sixty years the Karens have been fighting the longest civil war in recent history. The struggle, which has seen demands for an autonomous state changed to equal recognition within a federal union, has been bloody and characterized by a number of splits within the movement. While all splinter groups ostensibly split to further ethnic Karen aspirations; recent decisions by some to join the Burmese government’s Border Guard Force (BGF) is seen as an end to such aspirations. Although a number of Karen political parties were formed to contest the November elections, the likelihood of such parties seriously securing appropriate ethnic representation without regime capitulation is doubtful. While some have argued, perhaps correctly, that the only legitimate option was to contest the elections, the closeness of some Karen representatives to the current regime can only prolong the status quo. This papers examines the problems currently affecting Karen State after the 7 November elections. THE BORDER GUARD FORCE Despite original promises of being allowed to recruit a total of 9,000 troops, the actual number of the DKBA (Democratic Karen Buddhist Army) or Karen Border Guard Force has been reduced considerably. In fact, a number of the original offers made to the DKBA have been revoked. At a 7 May 2010 meeting held at Myaing Gyi Ngu, DKBA Chairman U Tha Htoo Kyaw stated that ‘According to the SE Commander, the BGF will retain the DKBA badge.’ In fact the DKBA were given uniforms with SPDC military patches and all Karen flags in DKBA areas were removed and replaced by the national flag.

  • Detailed Gender Analysis Report
    Resilient Community Development Project (RRP MYA 51242-002) Detailed Gender Analysis Report Project number: 51242-002 October 2019 MYA: Resilient Community Development Project EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report presents the detailed gender analysis undertaken during the preparation of the Resilient Community Development Project (RCDP) in Myanmar. The project impact (incomes of rural households improved and resilience of communities to climate and disaster risks strengthened) will contribute to the Government’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 1, 2 and 13 (SDG 1, SDG 2 and SDG 13). The regions/states of Ayeyarwady, Chin, Sagaing (including the Naga Self-Administrative Zone (NSAZ)) and Tanintharyi have been identified as climate and disaster vulnerable project target areas. The proposed RCDP is categorized as effective gender mainstreaming (EGM) and will involve activities that contribute to gender equity and women’s empowerment. The Transitional Technical Assistance (TRTA) gender and social development consultants together with ADB Senior Social Development Specialist and Department of Rural Development (DRD) personnel undertook participatory assessments in selected areas of the four target regions during April – June 2018. The gender issues of the target populations were analyzed to better understand the context and conditions in selected areas. Overview of gender issues in project geographical areas. Across the different regions and ethnicities which make up the proposed target communities of RCDP there are similarities regarding the expectations placed on men and women concerning their responsibilities and roles. The identity markers for women are principally their roles as daughter, wife and mother. The roles of men are determined by their obligations as family breadwinners, heads of household and community leaders.
