Stakeholder Priorities for 2019 on Improving Access The Myanmar Government should 1. Establish a channel for women to raise cyber harassment and cyber bullying issues. 2. Integrate digital literacy related capacity enhancement programmes in conventional education curriculums. 3. Conduct government initiatives in MIL (media and information literacy) enhancement programmes. 4. Make internet accessibility in remote areas a priority. 5. Maintain affordable prices for internet data use. 6. Establish ICT infrastructure. 7. Implement regulations, guidelines and policies for the improvement of e-Governance. 8. Conduct public consultations with civil society organizations in technology related legislation. 9. Carefully consider the impacts of policies upon beneficiaries such as PWDs women, children and ethnic minorities at every stage of policy development and implementation. 10. Initiate a spectrum sharing policy for community networks to facilitate access to backhaul infrastructure at fair rates and the use of unlicensed spectrum through innovative licensing. Civil society organizations should 1. Advocate for the implementation of the the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, including in the digital space. 2. Raise public awareness regarding technological related solutions for PWD. The private sector should 1. Produce applications, which are designed to empower lives of PWD. 2. Initiate programs which aim to improve PWD’s access to technology by using technologies such as Artificial Intelligence. 3. Enhance accessibility and affordability of mobile applications for PWD. 4. Include ICT related RBC activities in public private partnerships. Outside the Access panels, there was also a discussion on ‘Using online information to hold government and companies to account.’ This discussed legal requirements to fully disclose information about investment laws, company laws and Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs). The MyCo website initiative was praised for disclosing information on private, public, foreign and domestic companies with directors' names, although privacy considerations should apply to disclosing full ID details (since addressed by DICA). Regarding EIAs, there is a dual obligation for companies to publish their EIAs online and for the government to do so, which was not happening in most cases. Another highlighted point was the need to use open data standards for data to be searchable online and to compel companies to comply. Moreover, it was also highlighted that, under Rule 196/199 of the Myanmar Investment Rules, companies with a Myanmar Investment Commission (MIC) Permit are obliged to publish an annual report on how they have conducted their business 16
