HSP Seminar (#257) “Field Work Report on Myanmar: Challenges and Developments Regarding Aid” (Jun. 28, 2019)
| Title | Field Work Report on Myanmar: Challenges and Developments Regarding Aid |
| Description | This is a cross-cutting seminar, involving the participation of industry, academia, and government, jointly co-organized by SDG+16 Association and Network Governance Association. Japan has made concerted government and private sector efforts towards Myanmar’s democratization and peacebuilding, together with the repatriation of refugees and internally displaced peoples. Nonetheless, a large-scale humanitarian and refugee crisis persists along its border with Bangladesh, further compounded by Europe and the US’s readiness to impose economic sanctions. Attorney Akiko Sato will discuss developments and findings from her field work in March 2018 and make suggestions with regards to Japan’s aid policy. Please note that in order to allow open discussion, Chatham House rules will be imposed. |
