Since 2016, the Hanns Seidel Foundation has a project office with 3 staff members at the Hluttaw and cooperates on strengthening the public relations and communications of the Hluttaws. The aim is to engage in a more people-oriented approach.
The current activities focus on developing a parliamentary role-play with the visitor service and an educational movie that describes the process of the parliament and the work of the members of parliament. Coming up is also a parliamentary delegation to Germany at the beginning of October.
Other discussion focused on the development of decentralisation and federalism. The Hanns Seidel Foundation supports Myanmar’s aspirations for a democratic and federal future and provides trainings, seminars and dialogues on decentralisation and federalism.
We would like to thank H.E U T Khun Myat for his time and the insightful discussions.
