Advance Myanmar is founded and run by a team of people with decades of experience of the humanitarian and human rights situation in Myanmar.
Our work includes:
We have provided humanitarian support across the country. Advance Myanmar provides emergency aid at times of crisis and humanitarian support to local organisations supporting their communities who have been targeted by the Burmese military and forced to flee their homes. Over 3 million people are now IDPs (Internally Displaced People) in Myanmar since the military coup in February 2021.
Since the military coup on 1 February 2021, we have been able to quickly provide assistance and funding to human rights defenders at risk.
Support to Civil Society Organisations
We provide grants to civil society organisations in locations across Myanmar. Our partners have used the funding for advocacy and campaigning, for support to IDPs and refugees, and to support their staff and their organisations. Our support is flexible so that organisations can decide how to use the funding according to their priorities.
Research
Advance Myanmar also conducts research on human rights issues. We work with civil society in Myanmar and various parts of the United Nations in providing information and analysis.
