MIMU Analysis

This page brings together MIMU’s various analyses seeking to better understand vulnerability around Myanmar based on available information and data.  The 2018 Vulnerability study provides a countrywide, township level overview of different aspects of vulnerability resulting from natural disaster, conflict and under-development.  MIMU is also developing a series of Analytical Briefs focusing on topical, emerging and under-explored issues relevant to vulnerability to support humanitarian and development activities in Myanmar.

Please share your feedback on these initiatives and how you have used them in your work to help us target these in the best possible way - [email protected]
