MIMU Geospatial Data
You can download the geospatial data in ESRI Shape file format for Myanmar, State & Region, District, Township, Village Tract, Village levels and for special regions through http://geonode.themimu.info
The datasets contain administrative boundaries, roads, railway, Town, Village, land use/land cover, etc.
The datasets are developed by WFP, UNODC, UNEP, UN OCHA and MIMU, in intermediate-scale at 1:250,000 (approximately in Quarter Inch scale) in Geographic Coordinate System using WGS 1984 Datum and from other relevent datasets for Myanmar acquired from Digital Chart of the World (DCW), GeoNetwork, etc.
Excel Mapping Tool
This tool uses MIMU Place Codes to enable the preparation of simple "heatmaps" to compare data from Excel spreadsheets across states/regions and townships. It can compare and contrast different indicators from larger, national datasets such as the 2014 Myanmar Population and Housing Census, and also used with agencies' own information from different areas.
