About DRI Myanmar

We have been working in Myanmar since 2013, working alongside our partners to help consolidate democracy and expand the public space. We thank all of our team in Myanmar for their hard work over the years. 

Our efforts were overshadowed by the February 2021 coup d’état, which slammed the door shut on democracy in Myanmar. Developments are fluid, however, and we will continue to work on Myanmar with those who believe that its citizens should decide their destiny.
