Burma
The Challenge
The military junta of Burma continues to detain Aung San Suu Kyi and other political prisoners and refuses to engage in meaningful dialogue with the democratic opposition. Burma's unchecked human rights abuses contribute to a large number of internally displaced persons (IDPs) within Burma and to external refugee flows. This displacement compounds the problems of poor education and health care by making services even less accessible, and has made both IDPs and refugees vulnerable to trafficking in persons. In response, USAID will support primary education programs; finance educational and health activities; and fund education, journalist training, and small grants to media groups. USAID's Regional Development Mission/Asia (RDM/A) manages these activities with a total ESF funding in FY 2006 of $10.9 million and $7.0 million requested for FY 2007. Please see RDM/A's Congressional Budget Justification for additional information on these activities.
