Burma
IMS is engaged in supporting media to ensure a regular flow of objective and independent information to the people in Burma. The challenges of this task are daunting, as are the penalties facing those engaged in such work. Consequently, IMS activities are low-key and aimed at supporting key actors. Given the limited access to Burma activities are carried out in cooperation with regional and international partners.
