Myanmar

In Myanmar, especially Northern Rakhine State, CFSI has worked closely with the international community as well as national and local stakeholders to protect and assist vulnerable and disadvantaged communities, promote their development, and help ensure their welfare. This expanding operation prioritizes women, children, youth, and includes education, livelihood, social services, and efforts to promote inter-ethnic peacebuilding.

CFSI is in the early stages of cooperation with Myanmar’s Ministry of Social Welfare (MSWRR). This is expected to include at least four years of cooperation in human resources development, specifically social work education. The ultimate aim is enhanced social protection for disadvantaged and vulnerable populations.
