Development work in Myanmar
The International Development Strategy (IDS) sets out a new approach to development. It does this through long-term partnerships tailored to the needs of each country the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office works with, built on mutual accountability and transparency. The Integrated Review Refresh (IR23) reiterates that sustainable development is central to UK foreign policy and sets out how the UK will go further and faster to reduce poverty.
For information on how the IDS and IR23 are being implemented in Myanmar, view the UK–Myanmar development partnership summary.
For up-to-date information on the UK’s Official Development Assistance (ODA) programme work in Myanmar, view the Development Tracker.
