RANGOON 00001323  001.2 OF 002 
 
 
1. (SBU) Summary:  At its September 13 Executive Board 
meeting in New York, UNFPA plans to propose a new four-year 
program for assistance in Burma that expands its current 
projects into new areas, including emergency obstetric care 
and expanded HIV/AIDs prevention, according to UNFPA's 
representative in Burma.  This proposal would broaden much 
needed healthcare assistance to vulnerable populations inside 
Burma.  We recommend supporting the proposal with the 
condition that UNFPA report annually to the Executive Board 
on its activities inside Burma; the proposal in its current 
form does not have this requirement.  Given the uncertain and 
increasingly restrictive operating environment in Burma, 
strict monitoring and regular reporting is necessary to 
ensure that UNFPA's funds are spent as intended without GOB 
interference.  End Summary. 
 
Focus on Maternal Care and AIDS Prevention Will Remain 
--------------------------------------------- --------- 
2. (SBU)  In a meeting with econoff, UNFPA Burma 
Representative Dan Baker described the new program of 
assistance for Burma that the Executive Board will consider 
in New York on September 13.  The current program for Burma 
will expire at the end of 2006.  UNFPA's new proposal will 
continue to focus on reducing maternal mortality and 
preventing the spread of HIV through reproductive health 
information and services.  UNFPA currently works in 100 
townships and spends half of its funding on capacity building 
of township-level public health service providers and on 
behavior change education.  These programs focus primarily on 
midwives, mothers, and youth.  UNFPA also supplies health 
supplies to 112 townships and INGOs, including PSI and Marie 
Stopes International, and spends a small amount of money on 
data collection and research. 
 
3. (SBU) The new program will add emergency obstetric care to 
UNFPA's program and expand its HIV/AIDs services to include 
men who have sex with men (MSM), one of the groups identified 
in the October 2005 UNAIDS review as being most at risk, yet 
not covered in the current program.  Baker noted that this 
step reflects progress in GOB thinking, as government 
officials previously would not acknowledge that this group 
existed.  UNFPA will coordinate its work with MSMs through 
community-based organizations and NGOs.  Baker reported that 
the Minster of Health and officials at the Ministries of 
Immigration and Population Planning pledged to support 
UNFPA's efforts to assist this vulnerable group.  The 
emergency obstetric care initiative will also include 
HIV/AIDS counseling, testing, and drug treatment for 
expectant mothers, aimed at reducing mother-to-child 
transmission of HIV/AIDS. 
 
Funding and Controls 
-------------------- 
4. (SBU)  Baker said that UNFPA Burma expects to receive up 
to $5 million per year from 2007 through 2010 from UNFPA and 
new donor money, an annual increase of $1 million over 
current levels.  Baker stressed that UNFPA has tight fiscal 
controls and only releases funding to its implementing 
partners for new projects when spending on completed projects 
is fully reconciled.   To ensure that its funds are not 
diverted by GOB authorities, local employees travel to health 
stores around the country to monitor UNFPA supply deliveries. 
 Field monitors have yet to find any discrepancies.  Baker 
said that UNFPA expat staff still regularly receive GOB 
approval to travel to their project sites around the country, 
although it now takes about three weeks longer to receive 
permission than in previous years.

5. (SBU) Comment:  Despite increased GOB restrictions on INGO 
activities in general, UNFPA Burma continues to carry out its 
activities with minimal interference and provides valuable 
assistance to vulnerable populations inside the country. 
UNFPA monitors its programs closely to ensure that neither 
funds nor supplies are diverted to the GOB or its satellite 
organizations.  However, the uncertain climate for UN 
agencies and NGOs in Burma make regular monitoring and 
reporting requirements more important than ever.  We noted 
that the new proposal omits an annual reporting requirement. 
We should support UNFPA's proposal to expand its Burma 
programs, but insist that UNFPA continue to report annually 
to the Executive Board on its activities inside Burma.  End 
comment.
