Abstract

With the aim of exploring challenges facing humanitarian assistance in conflict-affected areas of Myanmar, this article explores the following three challenges: limited access to conflict-affected areas, continued resentment towards foreign investment, and privatization of security. In response to these challenges, as this article suggests, public-private partnership should be an alternative option, which could ensure more effective and sustainable provision of humanitarian assistance in the foreseeable future.
