Burma: Building Capacity of the Burmese to Participate in a Democratic Society

USAID supports democracy activities that finance training for Burmese journalists and public information workers to improve the quality and dissemination of news and information for Burmese citizens, refugees, and exiles on the situation inside Burma.  We also support ongoing education and small democracy grant efforts in collaboration with Embassy Rangoon.

USAID trains Burmese journalists and others who provide public information to give accurate, unbiased accounts of issues affecting the people of Burma.  The goal is to improve the quality and dissemination of news and information for Burmese citizens, refugees, and exiles on the situation inside Burma.
