“Xinhua News Agency should be careful what they posted on Burma/Myanmar issue.” said one of the journalists who reside in Rangoon.

Hand of Beijing seen in events

The Financial Times
12-02-2008

As Burma’s citizens await further details on a planned constitutional referendum, many western diplomats and Burmese analysts are suggesting that the ruling generals were goaded into action by pressure from Beijing, their biggest patron.

China’s relations with the junta have drawn international attention since September’s crackdown on anti-government demonstrations.

Since then, western governments have urged Beijing to press for reforms. Analysts say Beijing may be anxious that the generals’ recalcitrance would affect China’s image during the Olympics, which start on the 20th anniversary of a Burmese anti-government uprising.

“A lot of countries have been putting a lot of pressure on China to do something on Burma,” said Win Min, a political science lecturer at Thailand’s Payap University.

Nyo Ohn Myint, an exiled dissident, said: “The generals are playing a game – they are trying to satisfy the Chinese and Asean recommendations for legitimacy.”

The referendum plan has had a cool reception abroad, amid concerns it will undermine prospects for dialogue between the junta and Aung San Suu Kyi, the Nobel Prize-winning democracy leader.

Singapore called the referendum a “positive step”. Other Asean governments have been silent, with no public comment from China. Japan expressed concern that the process “does not allow participation by Aung San Suu Kyi and other [opposition] parties”.

International Organizations’ (INGO) works inside Burma

NCUB’s rebuttal

DFID

DFID is a major stakeholder of the 3 D funds project who supplied 34 millions for 5 years.
National Health Committee oversees all these projects under the National Health Program in which 3 Ds funds is one of them.
All inputs have to go through MOH.
DFID is focal point in this program. Ruric Mardsen is a person of principle, he pointed out some of the monitoring difficulties such as giving so much authorities for monitoring to Township Education Officers as they are very busy persons who can not properly monitor the project activities.
DFID is professional at first but later they are weak in professionalism. UNICEF is responsible for DFID health projects including 3 D funds’ some of the projects concerning mother to child transmission of HIV virus.
DFID also implements water and sanitation projects and school infrastructure.

When it was complained to WHO they said that kind of event is happening all around the world it is not surprising, it is nice if only ten percent go to the target group.
There are also wastages. 10000 Bags of Cement were bought in July, rainy season for school renovation. Head masters didn’t how to maintain them. They are all damaged in schools.
5 bags of cement had been bought to a school for hand pump. 2 bags was taken by the ministry concerned. Only three bags arrived. Department had to mix with sand and it was damaged two years later.
Over 50 percents of UNDP school renovation programme remained uncompleted

Projects staffs and participants who are going to attend the workshops or trainings had to take recommendation letter from the department concerned police station and even USDA whether he has not involved in any criminal cases and political activities.

In every seminars or workshops or trainings held in luxurious hotels or anywhere, special branch of intelligent are present

One of the planner officers who are international staff from the UNICEF told a field officer to ask any favor for her stay in a remote area as the military guest house is more comfortable. They also have an idea that it is more workable to work together with military people.

Field officers from some UN organizations report back some damages and mismanagement of the government department concerned but all of them are ignored and warned not to say stuff like that. Therefore no complaints are made for these incidents in school and health sectors.
