• leading role. However, company-Government cooperation or at least companycompany cooperation is also essential. The SWIA identifies potential areas or activities that may lead to cumulative impacts and identifies options for collective sectoral action to address the impacts observed in, and predicted for, Myanmar. • Operational level: The SWIA looks across a range of existing operations in the ICT sector in Myanmar. The findings represent common operational-level impacts that are relevant to the ICT sector, recognising that impacts are often very contextspecific and importantly can be avoided or shaped by (good and bad) company practices. In addition to looking at actual and potential negative impacts from operations in the sector, the SWIA also catalogues positive impacts observed in Myanmar during the SWIA desk and field research, so that stakeholders can learn from these examples. Pillar III. Access to Effective Remedy: This includes a review of the options for remedy of negative human rights impacts by companies or the Government, looking at the current ecosystem of potential judicial and non-judicial remedies available in the country. See Annex A for a more detailed description of the SWIA methodology and the scope and coverage of the field research carried out. CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION 53 1
