As part of phase one of the development of the Martin James Foundation's Asia Care Network, comprehensive studies of the care system in each country were conducted to highlight the need for developing alternative care systems across South-East Asia. This case study highlights relevant data from Myanmar.
According to the case study, the government has worked with UNICEF and the UN on steps to improving the treatment of children in Myanmar. There is a lack of a developed legal framework around children’s rights.There is no data available on the number of children in alternative care for multiple reasons including the fact that a number of institutional and residential facilities are unregistered.
