Who Are We?

The Protection Analysis Risks and Trends (PART) project is an EU-funded project that distributes accurate, contextualised, and specific protection information to humanitarian actors in Myanmar in a digestible and easily accessible format.

PART identifies and explores protection dynamics – in all their forms – at the community level in Myanmar. To that end, PART utilises both existing secondary sources and a network of field data sources to collect community-centric understandings of local protection issues.

This system has two purposes:

Track prevalent community protection issues at the local level, looking at how protection issues manifest in different communities and in different regions;

Examine relevant protection trends over time, thus serving as a monitoring tool and early warning mechanism.

PART also collects individual protection incidents, identifying current or anticipated protection needs and gaps.

PART focuses its data gathering and analysis in selected townships in three key states: Rakhine, Kachin, and Northern Shan.

Data gathered by PART is indicative and not representative, as the areas studied are restricted by the scale and scope of the incident monitoring program, rather than the overall protection environment.
