action_plan:

After the military coup in February 2021, the Ship to Shore Rights SEA programme conducted an extensive re-programming exercise for ILO, IOM and UNDP activities in Myanmar. All three UN organizations adapted their activities in line with UN and EU principles of engagement to avoid legitimizing the de facto authorities and provide additional support to civil society and trade unions. Since that time, the Ship to Shore Rights SEA programme has been successful at implementing the planned activities in Myanmar in spite of the very challenging operational content. It currently maintains the largest programme of migration activities in Myanmar among the three existing ILO migration projects and has released seminal research on the organizational resilience of CSOs and trade unions since the military takeover. However, the programme will carefully consider the existing challenges if another phase of the Ship to Shore Rights SEA programme is developed.

title:

Myanmar: As preparations are made for future work in this field, either through another phase of Ship to Shore or a different funding mechanism, the three UN agencies need to reflect carefully with their implementing partners as to the possibilities of future engagement. It would be important in the current context to continue supporting CSOs and workers’ organisations, but programme design needs to recognise the challenges of working in this situation and be sure the scope matches what is possible. Under the original design of this phase, this was not possible as the coup took place after the design stage.
