Priority Areas

Advance Myanmar provides flexible funding and practical support to grassroots civil society organisations, local activists and community groups across Myanmar. Its partners address human rights and humanitarian crises, including through healthcare, education, human rights advocacy and community development. It supports emergency response delivered by local groups with access to affected areas, and works alongside organisations and communities in remote or conflict-affected areas that struggle to receive support from other sources. The foundation values local organisations’ knowledge and priorities, offering long-term support and practical assistance such as help with administration, technology, publications, media contacts and strategy. Its approach is to stand alongside partners as they shape their own future, rather than create solutions for them.
