The Economics Watch program is an initiative aimed at transforming how we understand Myanmar’s economy. By driving cutting-edge economic research and sharing fresh insights, we bridge the gap between research and on-ground economic changes. Our goal is to help people and policymakers navigate economic changes and boost prosperity through a modern approach to understanding both the public and private sectors. By emphasizing evidence-based research and dialogue, Economics Watch seeks to leverage new ideas and technologies to craft policies that not only tackle today’s challenges but also build a robust economic future at both local and state levels.
Objectives:
- Enhance Public Awareness: To increase the general public’s understanding of both local and state-level economic conditions and ongoing changes, empowering communities with up-to-date insights.
- Promote Economic prosperity: To foster a sound and stable economy by formulating and supporting effective policies with cutting-edge approaches that strengthen both local and state economies.
Program Activities:
- Producing Research Articles, Blogs, and Podcasts: The program will regularly publish and promote articles, podcasts, and blogs that focus on Myanmar’s ongoing economic landscape. These will cover past trends and future forecasts to keep everyone well-informed. Through these channels, the program aims to inform and engage with the public, particularly youth, and policymakers, on key economic topics in a lively and accessible way.
- Providing Courses and Training: To equip individuals and communities with the tools to understand and navigate economic challenges, Economics Watch will offer a series of courses and workshops. These sessions will focus on practical skills and local/state economic issues, giving participants the tools they need to drive change and dive into economic research. Our training will support both policymakers and community leaders with actionable knowledge and hands-on skills.
- Evidence-based Advocacy: This initiative will dive into comprehensive research to provide sharp insights and actionable recommendations for decision-makers. By using the latest economic analysis, Economics Watch aims to shape policies that not only address current economic issues but also foster lasting growth. Our evidence-based approach ensures that strategies are informed by top-notch research, building a dynamic economic framework for the local community and the state.
Program Goal:
With these activities, Economics Watch is set to deliver a consistent stream of high-quality research, engaging articles, and dynamic media content. Our mission is to spark informed discussions and disseminate knowledge, helping to build a stable and prosperous economy across the state.
