For 30 years, we have partnered with civil society organizations in Burma and neighbouring countries—India, Thailand, and Bangladesh—to work towards a democratic future.
Through funding, capacity development, learning exchanges, coalition building and advocacy, we strengthen local civil society, for democratic organizing and the provision of public services.
Our counterparts in Burma have been recognized internationally for peace building, women’s leadership, Indigenous self-determination, environmental protection, independent news reporting and health service provision. We currently support 60 civil society organizations to provide health services, document human rights violations, protect the environment and report on news as independent media.
Doing this work poses an extreme risk to the safety of our counterparts. For this reason, we only name counterparts publicly when it is safe to do so.
