The dedicated Gender Sector page on MIMU website disseminates resources and data on women and girls, supporting gender-related humanitarian and development activities, and promoting advocacy on gender issues. In addition, we are also hosting the Protection from Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (PSEA) webpage, as well as a dedicated page for the Gender in Humanitarian Action Working Group (GiHA WG), launched in October 2024.

Gender-focused programmes are included in the MIMU HDP Nexus 5W. In August 2024’s 5W round, 1,082 reported activities related to gender and gender-based violence were recorded, accounting for around 1% of all reported activities.

MIMU trainings also support professional women in humanitarian and development careers. We paid careful attention to promoting gender equality and opportunity in participant selection: of the 372 technical trainees in 2024, 208 were women.

Through data and information management practices, we are working to promote a better understanding of the challenges facing women and girls in Myanmar, while also highlighting the need for more comprehensive sex-disaggregated data.

International Campaign to Ban Landmines (ICBL) has produced the annually updated landmine monitor report for Myanmar and is now available in both English and Myanmar languages.

For the first time, Myanmar has more casualties due to landmines than any other country in the world in the previous calendar year, with at least three casualties every day.

Casualties and contamination are reported in all states and regions, except Nay Pyi Taw. Casualties were recorded in 134 townships, and at least 190 (57%) townships are contaminated.

There is a significant increase in contamination and casualties, as well as hazards posed by explosive remnants of war (ERW), with one ERW casualty every three days.

The latest version of MIMU Myanmar Place Codes (version 9.6, February 2025) includes updates on many villages across the country. These updates result from the MIMU village mapping exercise, which was carried out collaboratively with input from our field partner agencies. The most significant changes in this version are as follows:

• 44 new villages were added in 19 townships across 7 states/regions.
• 954 villages’ coordinates were newly added in 75 townships across 14 states/regions.
• 1,198 villages’ coordinates were modified in 21 townships across 5 states/regions.

Detailed information of these and earlier changes is available in PDF and Excel formats. The updated P-codes can be found on the MIMU website’s Place Codes page, along with a Pcode Submissions and Corrections Form through which to share corrections and information on new villages which may not be included in the MIMU Pcode listing.

MIMU PCoder has also been updated, providing users with several options including a selection among 4 dataset versions (9.6 or 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. Users can also find the guideline video file on the MIMU PCode Webpage.

With this update, we can now map 53,857 villages out of recorded 66,657 villages in MIMU Database.
