NED — Burma program

Current understanding

NED’s Burma country portfolio comprises 66 active grants totaling approximately $9.6M, funding democracy promotion, independent media, civic engagement, and accountability efforts amid ongoing repression under military rule. Onward subgrantees are only partly traceable from top-line records; grantee identities are often withheld for safety. Individual recipient trails should be documented as they surface.
