Updated Pcoder and Pcodes version 9.5

The latest MIMU Myanmar Pcode version 9.5 (February 2024) is the result of the MIMU village mapping exercise which was collaboratively performed with inputs from field agencies. The most significant changes documented in this version are as follows;

  • 154 new villages were added in 11 townships in Tanintharyi, Mon and Mandalay.
  • 280 villages’ coordinates were newly added in 28 townships of 9 states/regions.
  • 1,128 villages’ coordinates were modified in 150 townships in all states/regions.

Detailed information of these and earlier changes is available in PDF and Excel formats.

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.

All the release Pcode products can be found on the MIMU PCode Webpage.
