Through gathering testimonies, training grassroots organizations, and distributing information through campaign work, the Burma Project has made a significant contribution to human rights and environment protection in Burma. Where possible, the Burma Project links its grassroots fact-finding missions and community organizing with regional and international level advocacy and campaigning. Working alongside affected community groups, they aim to prevent future human rights and environmental abuses associated with large-scale development projects in Burma.

To support Burmese community groups’ vital work, the Burma Project conducts training workshops for a diverse set of community organizations and activists, within our campaign focus areas in subjects ranging from fact-finding to the environment to human rights. These training workshops help us share critical expertise responsive to community needs and strengthen ties within the growing network of organizations fighting for environmental and human justice inside Burma.

Currently, the Burma Project focuses on large-scale dams, oil and gas development, international financial institutions, and mining. We share experiences and resources with local communities, as well as provide assistance relevant to community needs.
