International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD)<br />
• ICIMOD has been engaged in <strong>GIS</strong> capacity building <strong>of</strong> national<br />
institutions <strong>of</strong> the regional member countries in the Hindus Kush-<br />
Himalayan region and has been promoting the use <strong>of</strong> <strong>GIS</strong> and<br />
related technologies during the early phase <strong>of</strong> Mountain<br />
Environment and Natural <strong>Resource</strong>s' Information Systems<br />
(MENRIS).<br />
• Some pr<strong>of</strong>essionals from <strong>Myanmar</strong> had already been trained in <strong>GIS</strong><br />
technology through ICIMOD training courses. The Ministry <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>Forest</strong>ry and other ministries had sent the staff abroad to pursue<br />
basic and advanced trainings on Remote Sensing and <strong>GIS</strong>.<br />
• Now, <strong>Myanmar</strong> has many technicians trained in these technologies<br />
in various ministries. However, to keep abreast with the quick pace<br />
<strong>of</strong> these technologies, further refresher courses, advanced trainings<br />
and adequate facilities are needed to maintain the current<br />
efficiency.
