European Union in Myanmar, Pathein - Geres organisation

The assignment responds to the need to develop communication materials to illustrate the impact of EU-funded projects in Myanmar, particularly a photo library. This tool will be used for a wide range of creative, technical and documentary purposes (including website, social media, newsletters, leaflets, posters, national and international media, etc.). The photos reflect not only the local contexts, living standards and natural landscapes of the areas visited, but also the purpose and meaning of the different EU interventions.

Over the last few years, Myanmar has embarked in a historic and multi-faceted transition process. This process included a number of political and economic reforms aimed at fostering an inclusive democratic system, resolve the long-standing ethnic conflicts and creating an increasingly diversified and internationally integrated economy.

In line with the priorities identified by the Government of the Union of Myanmar (GoUM), the EU-funded Institutional Strengthening and Policy Dialogue Support project aims to strengthen public institutions and non-state actors and develop capacities for policymaking, planning and implementation to respond to citizens’ needs and contribute to general socio-economic development.

GERES' action in Southeast Asia operates in Cambodia and Myanmar and contributes to the mission of a global movement advocating for a switch to sustainable production and consumption patterns and behavior. By working with governments in support of the creation and implementation of national Wood Energy strategies, GERES contributes its expertise in the areas of sustainable forest management, sustainable wood fuel production and consumption, and Improved Cookstove (ICS) project design and implementation.
