Who We Serve
Our work reaches the following communities and organizations:
• Civilians affected by the military coup and ongoing conflict in Myanmar
• Internally displaced people (IDPs) within Myanmar and across border regions
• Resistance groups and movements working toward democratic governance
• Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) operating in crisis-affected areas
• Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) engaged in humanitarian, advocacy, or community development work
• Local and diaspora-led initiatives supporting Myanmar communities
The Context We Work In
The Context We Work In
NGOs and CSOs are not simply service providers — they are the living fabric of their communities. They carry the trust, the relationships, the cultural knowledge, and the ground-level understanding that no outside organization can replicate. In Myanmar's context, where formal institutions have been systematically undermined, these organizations are often the last line of support for millions of people.
Yet even the most committed and capable organizations cannot fulfill their potential when they are operationally fragile. Weak financial systems, limited organizational capacity, and inadequate governance frameworks prevent NGOs and CSOs from growing, scaling their impact, and demonstrating the accountability that funders require. This is the gap IRI exists to close.
