ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The research has been undertaken by the country
team of an international NGO currently working
in Myanmar. Our organization has been working
in Myanmar for over 15 years with a special focus
on women and youth empowerment, civil society
strengthening, grassroots community organizing,
livelihoods and humanitarian response. The INGO
concerned wishes to remain anonymous due
to current security risks faced by our staff and
partners. However, the organization would like
to convey thanks and appreciation to members
of the research team and their advisers. We are
grateful for their dedicated commitment and
invaluable contribution in the research process,
which must be acknowledged, albeit privately.
We also express gratitude to the donor which
funded this research for their financial support
for the research and ongoing commitment to
Myanmar.
Most of all, the authors and the research team
would like to acknowledge and thank everyone
who has contributed to this study, particularly
informants from civil society organizations,
youth groups, women’s groups and others
who participated in the survey, interviews and
focus group discussions. These individuals have
contributed to this study in the most difficult
of circumstances, representing admirably the
resilience, bravery and determination of the
Myanmar people.
