In partnership with Episcopal Relief & Development, the Church of the Province of Myanmar, mobilized COVID-19 health messaging and awareness resources from the Ministry of Health and disseminated information through all eight diocesan networks in response to the pandemic. But, in 1989, the military ruling junta decided to change the official name from Burma to Myanmar, after a review of colonial-era names used for the country, cities Rangoon became Yangon and province titles. This reflects the regime's attempt to impose the notion that literary language is master, Mr Houtman says.

Starting in 2020, three dioceses, in particular, are building on their community development experience and technical skills to focus on agricultural, livelihood and disaster resilience objectives.

The British who colonised and ruled Myanmar for more than 100 years, from 1824 to 1948 called it British Burma and on independence, it became the Union of Burma. Myanmar is the literary form, which is ceremonial and official and reeks of government. Our partnership ensures that 26 communities are able to cope and recover from the intense hazards from disasters in the country. The Church has built on its community development experience and technical skills, developed over the past 10 years, to work towards a national strategy, focusing on agricultural, livelihood and disaster resilience objectives. Additionally, education on personal hygiene, sanitation and natural resource management, as well as training on gender inclusion, improve the health of families and support economic empowerment, particularly in women. The programs, along with training in disaster risk reduction, all build resilience that help communities recover more quickly from disasters. This partnership works with the MenРІР‚в„ўs Association model farm for testing and teaching agricultural techniques and the MothersРІР‚в„ў Union economic empowerment program, which offers vocational training and micro-finance services through community groups.

Episcopal Relief & Development supports a variety of diocesan agricultural and economic empowerment projects through the Church of the Province of Myanmar.
