Maps and Icons for Presentations and Reports

It shouldn't take years of GIS expertise and hours of tinkering to use just simple yet beautiful maps in your presentations and reports. In this PowerPoint file, you will find the maps of Myanmar at the country, state/region, district, and township levels along with humanitarian icons from OCHA -- all compiled in easy-to-use and extremely customizable formats.

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.
