Mission to Myanmar
13 -19 June 2006

A follow-up workshop for APCD ex-trainees was organized in Yangon in collaboration with AAR offering its meeting room for the venue. The Workshop in both Yangon and Mandalay aimed to help strengthen the capacity of APCD's associate organizations, to which ex-trainees belong, by enhancing their insights for effectiveness and sustainability of their responsible projects/activities. It was observed that ex-trainees, especially the ones with disabilities, became motivated and committed to further improve their activities through the Workshop.

In Mandalay, APCD held another follow-up training on 16 -17 June 2006 in cooperation with the School for the Deaf under the Department of Social Welfare (DSW) from which 3 teachers were invited in the APCD training courses on SHG and CBR. Also, 2 more ex-trainees are currently engaged in World Vision's Area Development Program in two townships (Chan Mya Thazt and Amarapura) and facilitate disability issues in the entire community development by developing SHG. From these SHG, 12 persons with disabilities participated in this Workshop along with the ex-trainees.

Under APCD's networking and collaboration activities, the Mission facilitated collaboration between DSW, APCD focal point, and JICA-Myanmar Office to plan a new project on "Supporting Social Welfare Administration". Through the discussion with the Director- General of DSW, the project will focus on the capacity development of DSW with regard to effective collaboration with concerned stakeholders and facilitation of public awareness on disability through "development of a common Myanmar sign language."
