Myanmar Representation
IID has a number of liaison offices in Australia and in Asia. Currently, IID established a representation in Yangon, Myanmar, in December 2010 staffed by an experienced Development Consultant. We expect that Myanmar will gradually reassert its rightful place in the world as a result of the recent election and that there will be renewed international investment in development. IID members and directors have had experience in many parts of Myanmar since 1982 for a variety of clients including AusAID, UNDP, the World Bank and the Mekong River Commission.
