CHALLENGES FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF COMPREHENSIVE MOTOR INSURANCE IN MYANMAR ( Win Aung Tun, 2019)
No full textBy 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
No full textThis 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

Nutrition in transition: historical cohort analysis summarising trends in under- and over-nutrition among pregnant women in a marginalised population along the Thailand-Myanmar border from 1986 to 2016
No full textThe objective of the present study is to summarise trends in under- and over-nutrition in pregnant women on the Thailand-Myanmar border. Refugees contributed data from 1986 to 2016 and migrants from 1999 to 2016 for weight at first antenatal consultation. BMI and gestational weight gain (GWG) data were available during 2004-2016 when height was routinely measured. Risk factors for low and high BMI were analysed for <18·5 kg/m2 or ≥23 kg/m2, respectively. A total of 48 062 pregnancies over 30 years were available for weight analysis and 14 646 pregnancies over 13 years (2004-2016) had BMI measured in first trimester (<14 weeks' gestational age). Mean weight at first antenatal consultation in any trimester increased over the 30-year period by 2·0 to 5·2 kg for all women. First trimester BMI has been increasing on average by 0·5 kg/m2 for refugees and 0·6 kg/m2 for migrants, every 5 years. The proportion of women with low BMI in the first trimester decreased from 16·7 to 12·7 % for refugees and 23·1 to 20·2 % for migrants, whereas high BMI increased markedly from 16·9 to 33·2 % for refugees and 12·3 to 28·4 % for migrants. Multivariate analysis demonstrated low BMI as positively associated with being Burman, Muslim, primigravid, having malaria during pregnancy and smoking, and negatively associated with refugee as opposed to migrant status. High BMI was positively associated with being Muslim and literate, and negatively associated with age, primigravida, malaria, anaemia and smoking. Mean GWG was 10·0 (sd 3·4), 9·5 (sd 3·6) and 8·3 (sd 4·3) kg, for low, normal and high WHO BMI categories for Asians, respectively.</p
