Burma Link | May 7, 2017

Summary

Burma Link is a growing non-profit organisation that was set up in August 2012 to address vital unmet needs affecting Burma’s ethnic nationalities and displaced people. Although the ethnic plight plays a central role in the lack of freedom, peace, and democracy in Burma, ethnic voices have been increasingly silenced since 2011 as the world has turned its attention towards central Burma. Burma Link works to ensure that the voices of Burma’s ethnic nationalities and displaced people as well as the diverse Community Based Organizations (CBOs) and groups that represent them are heard in Burma’s reform process. We work in cooperation with numerous ethnic, capacity building, human rights, media, as well as armed and political organisations that represent various ethnicities from Burma.

This report describes the activities and key achievements of Burma Link during the year 2016. The report also provides background to the organisation as well as the current political situation in Burma with regard to the ethnic nationalities and displaced people, armed conflict and the peace process.
