Myanmar in Focus Programme

Research and analysis on conflict, land, drug policy and peace processes in Myanmar.

TNI’s Myanmar programme works to support community-led development, strengthen the role of ethnic civil society, and contribute to democratic reform and inclusive, sustainable peace. Over many years, TNI has developed in-depth expertise on Myanmar’s ethnic regions and borderlands. The programme brings together TNI’s work on agrarian justice, alternative development, and humane drug policies, with a focus on land rights, conflict, natural resources, and the political and economic challenges facing ethnic communities. This work takes place in the context of an ongoing political, economic and humanitarian crisis, marked by widespread displacement, intensifying conflict, and severe restrictions on livelihoods and access to basic services across many parts of the country.
