Evidence snapshot for Myanmar
Myanmar's development landscape shows both progress and disruption. Beyond Access built digital literacy across 100+ libraries, reaching 63,000+ people and narrowing a 2:1 gender gap through Tech Age Girls, though activities were severely disrupted by the February 2021 military coup. The Ayeyarwady Delta Mangrove Blue Carbon project restored 2,065 hectares of mangroves since 2015 and benefited 11,000 people across 16 villages, though community benefit distribution faces uncertainty under junta governance. Women's political representation collapsed from roughly 15–17% of parliamentary seats in the November 2020 elected parliament to approximately 6% in the military's 16-member State Administration Council, illustrating how quickly institutional gains can reverse when power shifts outside electoral systems.
