why it matters.
The Durable Peace Programme addresses entrenched conflict, displacement, and instability in Myanmar’s northern states — contexts where sustainable peace requires deep collaboration, reflection, and adaptation. By emphasising inclusive evaluation and capacity strengthening, this engagement helped Oxfam Myanmar and its partners reflect on what has worked, where challenges remain, and how future programming can be more equitable, effective, and locally grounded.
