Following the release of other products in the latest MIMU HDP Nexus 5W round of February 2024, we are pleased to announce the release of the final product from this round, the MIMU HDP Nexus 5W trend analysis report. This report analyses the changes and trends of activities reported to the MIMU HDP Nexus 5W between August 2020 and February 2024. Here, it is important to note that the MIMU HDP Nexus 5W captures voluntary information from agencies on the sector, geographical area and status of activities, but does not cover the number of people reached nor the extent to which needs are met.

Your inputs have been crucial to the development of MIMU HDP Nexus 5W since its inception in 2007. We invite you to share your feedback, suggestions and any inquiries regarding this analysis via [email protected]. Additional details and more MIMU HDP Nexus 5W products can be found in the MIMU HDP Nexus 5W page.

We would like to extend our gratitude to all agencies, especially 5W focal points, for your active participation in this exercise, and we look forward to your continuing cooperation and support for the next round. Please share your comments and feedback with us via the contact form.

In order to implement the Pcodes properly in your datasets, MIMU PCoder has also been updated, providing users with 3 dataset versions (9.5 or 9.4 or 9.2) and the flexibility to opt for place names in English or Myanmar (Unicode). You can use it to match PCode and place names as well as to get the coordinates of villages and towns along with their respective place codes and names. Guidelines in both Myanmar and English are now available.
