CHALLENGES FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF COMPREHENSIVE MOTOR INSURANCE IN MYANMAR ( Win Aung Tun, 2019)
Get PDFBy helping people face up to and manage risk effectively, insurance is an invaluable part of modern society and the motoring experience. In the current situation, adequate compensation encourages victims to claim and persuade them to accept an illegal compensation payment, creating financial burdens for vehicle owners, and at the same time causing difficulties in control and reduction of traffic accident efforts. Comprehensive Motor Insurance is a difficult class of business to manage. Myanmar Comprehensive Motor insurance industry, that is relatively underdeveloped in comparison to that of other ASEAN countries, is highly suffering from the higher motor claims as a result of increment in cost of materials and payment for the victims. But, with the appropriate strategies and operations in place, the rewards are there. Therefore, it is necessary to review the challenges for the development of comprehensive motor insurance. The objective of the study is to get appropriate coverage for the public by analyzing the situation of comprehensive motor insurance in Myanmar especially on premium and compensation and to find out the ways for the development of the comprehensive motor insurance. The quantitative method is used for the study. Primary data collected through questionnaire. Secondary data are also collected from some publications of the Myanma Insurance and MIA and appropriate and relevant internet websites. This study is presented with the aim of achieving actual progressive insurance industry by discovering the challenges for the development of Comprehensive Motor Insurance and the industry should promote and make known to all to benefit itself and the public

Participatory Visioning and Future Planning. Backcasting with Myanmar Farmers for a more Sustainable Future. Methodological Report
Get PDFThis report describes the methodology of participatory visioning and future planning, including a technique called backcasting. Based on literature and experience, we developed and applied this methodology to support smallholder farmers in southern Myanmar. In a highly participatory bottom-up approach, we co-created and documented the vision of these farmers – in direct collaboration with them – including their desirable futures, and we jointly explored possible pathways and action plans to reach these futures. We also co-implemented needs-based actions including concrete trainings, study trips, and a community-led micro-loan system to strengthen their agriculture – their main source of livelihood. Unfortunately, beginning in 2020, Myanmar experienced two overlapping waves of crisis: the health crisis as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic; and the political crisis following the coup d’etat in 2021. The final two years of the project were implemented under these extremely challenging conditions. We frequently had to adapt our operationalization to the very dynamic, changing circum-stances. Fortunately, our methodology allowed for this kind of adaptive management. Despite the challenging circumstances, the farmers were positive in their assessment of the project outcomes. This suggests that the methodology of participatory visioning and future planning can be effective even under difficult circumstances. We conclude the report by presenting lessons learnt and recommendations. Firstly, we reflect on how useful this methodology was and how it can be applied in similar or different projects (research, development, etc.). Secondly, we share our practical insights and recommendations regarding the application of the methodology in the given or similar contexts. Finally, we provide practical recommendations for project planning for those who want to include participatory visioning and future planning in their projects

No full textGeneral Aung San – the Father of Burma’s Independence
No full textThe author presents General Aung San (1915-1947) as a dedicated fighter for independence and through his complicated biography outlines the crucial period of Burma’s history: the end of the British colonial rule. The paper also presents the cultural differences that complicated Burmese-British relations.
It appears that Aung San’s nationalist spirit had been already shaped in his childhood. He became famous as a student leader during his education at Rangoon University in the 1930’s. In 1938 he had been elected the Secretary General of the most significant nationalist force: the Association We-Burmese (Do-Bama Asi-Ayone). On the one hand he was involved in lawful political activity, on the other he tried to acquire weapons by all possible means to start an armed struggle for independence. He created numerous political organizations of different political orientation (including the Communist Party of Burma). Eventually he arrived in Japan, where he received military training. In 1941, with the help of Japanese agents, he was able to create the Burma Independence Army in Thailand, which entered Burma together with the Japanese troops in 1942.
His co-operation with the Japanese forces was tortuous and painful, but he served as the Minister of War in their puppet Burmese Government. When it became obvious that the Allies will win, he established contacts with them and in August 1944 founded the Anti-Fascist Organisation. On March 27, 1945 he started an anti-Japanese uprising to help the British forces entering the country. At the end of the war his relations with the British authorities were very complex: the civil administration wanted to arrest him and bring him to justice as a war criminal, but the military commanders appreciated his help and wanted to collaborate with him and his Burmese forces. The second approach prevailed and in 1946 he headed the Burmese colonial government under the British Governor. In January 1947 he successfully negotiated Burma’s independence in London. The famous Panglong Agreement reached with the leaders of national minorities in February constituted another success of his. In April his party won the majority in the elections to the Constitutional Assembly and Aung San started his work on the constitution. In July, during feverish preparations for independence, he was assassinated together with six other members of the government. U Nu, his old friend and political successor completed his task of building up the independent state. The present military junta constitutes the first Burmese government, which does not respect General Aung San much owing to the prodemocratic activities of Aung San Suu Kyi, his daughter
