Events
The “Building Civil Society Capacity in Myanmar” program is jointly sponsored by EAI and the National Endowment of Democracy and is being conducted in partnership with the Sandhi Governance Institute, the Renaissance Institute, the Open Myanmar Initiative, and the Yangon School of Political Science. During this workshop, EAI and our various partners shared our experiences as private research organizations to mutually develop our individual institutions through an institutional capacity building session. Also sessions on statistical analysis methods and report writing which were focused on government budget monitoring were conducted in order to strengthen our partners’ research capacity.
A research team was formed with the four partner organizations in Myanmar that will carry out, based on the information and techniques taught during the second workshop, research on the system and management of government budgets in Myanmar. The final results of this research will be presented during an international conference in the first half of 2016.
The second workshop was held September 14-15, 2015 in Yangon, Myanmar at the Sandhi Governance Institute.
