Project Summary

The Central Burma Watch (CBW) is an innovation to co-create a structured monitoring and research mechanism by three independent groups led by local researchers and analysts. The local groups have a deep and widespread presence across Ah Nyar and are largely involved in the current socio-political landscape. CBW is designed as a locally led initiative that combines field and desk research with evidence-based advocacy to strengthen local governance, ensure civilian protection, and promote accountability. It aims to serve as a robust mechanism for tracking, analysing, and addressing critical issues in Ah Nyar. The project focuses on areas experiencing conflict, governance challenges, and displacement, leveraging local knowledge and expertise to document violations of international laws, strengthen governance frameworks, and enhance civilian protection and accountability.
