Myanmar NGOs meet regularly among themselves for better coordination and cooperation as well as sharing and updating their experience and work in the field. UN Agencies and INGOs regularly send their representatives to the meeting. This Myanmar NGO bi-weekly meeting usually on Tuesday is very important and useful for all Myanmar NGOs and CBOs as the only platform/venue for them to meet, share, and update their work, experience and information as well as seek opportunities for projects and programmes they can implement together. Other joint initiatives from these meetings include the Myanmar NGO Contingency Plan and its cluster groups, the DRR working group, and ad-hoc activities such as selection of representatives for MIMU Advisory Board and sharing and reporting back of the activities of ASEAN People’s Forum.

Since this meeting belongs to all Myanmar NGOs including small, medium and large NGOs, CBOs and even self-help groups, it has been organized, sponsored and managed by a group of Myanmar NGOs called “Meeting Management Committee” as of 5 February 2013. At present there are 10 organizations involved in the Management Committee which is an open committee sharing responsibilities related to the meeting.

As of October 2008, LNGOs have been meeting twice a month. Meetings were organized and sponsored by Capacity Building Initiative (CBI) until February 2013, when it was decided to share co-lead responsibilities among Myanmar NGOs.

Every interested person is invited to attend and participate in this meeting. You can contact below email or phone for any information for Local NGOs.
