Myanmar publications

UNDP provides high-quality, timely publications through the Myanmar Development Observatory (MDO). These serve as a critical source of evidence, insight, and strategic foresight — helping to inform response, programming, and engagement across the country in a context marked by protracted crisis, conflict, and data scarcity.

The publications examine Myanmar’s evolving socio-economic landscape through a multidisciplinary lens, drawing on field data, household surveys, satellite imagery, and local stakeholder insights. They offer a grounded perspective on the lived realities of communities facing conflict, displacement, and economic disruption. From tracking the erosion of livelihoods and youth migration patterns to unpacking gender disparities, educational access, human capital, and urban poverty, each report provides actionable intelligence for a shifting development context, bringing the country’s most pressing challenges into sharper focus.

Explore the publications to better understand the complexity of Myanmar’s development trajectory — and the opportunities to support inclusive recovery, equity, and resilience in a time of profound transformation.
