<p>The UK provides substantial support to health and education programmes in Burma, which has helped form significant links with influential stakeholders in these sectors, including with government. Through our representations to the Burmese Government we have helped secure agreement to include Kachin State in these programmes. The UK has also lobbied, with other donors, for the Government to grant permission for the UN and non-governmental organisations to carry out missions to areas of Kachin which are not under government control. These were able to provide relief assistance, including health and education materials, to 22,000 displaced people.</p> |
