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 Mudon Township in Mon State. 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

  • The East-West Economic Corridor
    The East-West Economic Corridor “By 2004, you will be able to travel an all-weather road from Mawlamyine in Myanmar, through Lao PDR and Thailand, to Da Nang in Viet Nam, made possible because of the GMS East-West Economic Corridor.” Asian Development Bank (2001)1 “Maldevelopment: A discrepancy between the economic, political, and cultural conditions and the actual needs and means of the people.”2 The Asian Development Bank’s (ADB) optimistic forecast has not yet come true. Much of the route linking Mawlamyine (Moulmein), the capital of Mon State in Burma, to Myawaddy, opposite Mae Sot on the Thai border, remains little more than a narrow road that varies from a dirt track in sections to a single-lane of cracked asphalt. But if the ADB has its way, the primitive road will become a sophisticated, multi-lane highway by 2008, facilitating the movement of consumer goods and passengers. According to the ADB, increased mobility will reduce rural poverty by creating a range of economic opportunities, especially for women, along the new highway. The ADB has also proposed a toll system to recover construction costs and to cover road maintenance. Other infrastructure, such as a deep-sea port, industrial estates, and special economic zones are planned in connection with the highway for the near future as well.3 But to quote a well-known English proverb, “The road to hell is paved with good intentions.” Put differently, even well intentioned actions can have disastrous results. While the peoples of Burma certainly deserve better transportation networks, EarthRights International (ERI) does not support the ADB’s proposed road rehabilitation project given current conditions inside Burma.

  • LOCAL GOVERNANCE MAPPING Mapping Highlights in Mon State
    LOCAL GOVERNANCE MAPPING Mapping Highlights in Mon State Background In 2013 a mapping of local governance took place in Mon State.

Among these families, family Coccinellidae was the most diverse beetles recorded in the study area, while the family Hydrophilidae ,Bolboceratidae and Cerambycidaewere the least diverse beetle recorded with one species only. Keywords: Coleoptera, beetles, growing season Introduction Insects are the largest group of animals in the world. The numbers of insects are more or less the same amount compared to the numbers of all other animals together. The beetles, described in the world are about four hundred thousand species and it is about 40% of total known insects of the world. One of the most distinctive features of the Coleoptera is the structure of the wings. Most beetles have four wings, with the front pair thickened, leathery or hard and brittle, and usually meeting in a straight line down the middle of the back and covering the hind wings (hence the order names coleo-sheath, ptera-wings).
