In the post-independence period, comprehensive population and housing censuses were only successfully undertaken in 1973, 1983 and most recently in April 2014. Censuses are an important source of benchmark information on the characteristics of the population and households in every country. One unique feature of a census is its ability to provide information down to the lowest administrative level. Such information is vital for planning and evidence based decision-making at every level. Additional data uses include allocation of national resources; the review of administrative boundaries; the positioning of social infrastructures, drawing national development plans, service provision and developing social infrastructure, and for humanitarian preparedness and response. The results of the 2014 Census have been published so far in a number of volumes. The first was the Provisional Results released in August 2014. The Census Main Results were launched in May 2015. These included The Union Report, Highlights of the Main Results, and reports of each of the 15 States and Regions. The reports on Occupation and Industry and Religion were launched in March 2016 and July 2016, respectively. All the publications are available online at http://www.dop.gov.mm/ and http:// myanmar. unfpa.org/node/15104. The current set of the 2014 Census publications comprise township and sub-township reports. Their preparation involved collaborative efforts of the Department of Population and UNFPA. This report contains selected demographic and socio-economic characteristics of Yaedashe Township in Bago Region. The information included in this report is the situation of 2014 March 29, Census night. Township level information is very important. However, the level of confidence of township estimates is not the same as Union level information. Some of the townships have relatively small populations; the interpretation of these estimates should be made with caution.

    Working paper Building on what’s there Insights on social protection and public goods provision from central-east Myanmar Gerard McCarthy September 2016 When citing this paper, please use the title and the following reference number: S-53308-MYA-2 Gerard McCarthy Building on What’s There: Insights on social assistance, public goods and taxation from central-east Myanmar Section 1: Introduction After decades of military rule in Myanmar, the political and economic transitions that are now underway are already impacting on the provision of social protection services and public goods at the local level.1 The progress made towards reaching cease-fires with armed groups around the country has allowed for expansion of the Myanmar government apparatus and services in some of these areas. Government expenditures on health, education, and to a lesser extent social welfare and rural development have increased substantially since 20092. Specific groups of individuals such as pregnant mothers and the elderly are now receiving assistance including direct cash transfers from state ministries, largely financed by international donors. 3 In addition, a National Social Protection Strategy is now in place. Moreover the newly elected National League for Democracy (NLD) government are planning to expand state- provided welfare, social services and other public goods.4 These are all positive developments. Often ignored in attempts to support livelihoods through state-mediated welfare initiatives, however, is Myanmar’s extensive economy of non-state welfare and public goods provisioning. Developed over decades of military rule, often with the direct encouragement of the regime itself, there are 100,000s of localized mechanisms of risk-sharing and social protection operating across Myanmar.5 However, little is known about the relative importance of these networks for households when compared to government support; the extent of the fiscal burden that falls on households; and households’ opinions on this system of care.
