ʻO ka papahana hoʻokūkū hoʻokūkū hoʻokūkū ʻo USAID i kākoʻo kālā ʻia e USAID, e ka hoʻolaha ʻana iā Myanmar, ua uhaʻi i nā lula e pili ana i ka ʻae ʻia ʻana e hoʻolilo kālā a pono e hoʻololi ʻia inā komo ka ʻAhaʻāina.

ʻO ia ka manaʻo o kahi loea Myanmar koʻikoʻi ma Wakinekona, US Campaign for Burma advocacy director, Jennifer Quigley, nāna i haʻi iā TTR Weekly: "I koʻu ʻike, ua ʻike ʻo Congress i kēia papahana, a ke manaʻoʻiʻo nei au e koi lākou iā USAID e hoʻololi i ka papahana e like me ka hopena o kēia hana hewa.

Ke manaʻo nei ka papahana ACE he $8 miliona e kūkulu i ka hoʻokūkū pāʻoihana ma nā ʻoihana mākaʻikaʻi a me nā lole lole o ASEAN. Ma kahi o, US $4 miliona o ka ACE budget 2008 a 2013 e hele i kahi hoʻolaha hoʻolaha mākaʻikaʻi i kapa ʻia ʻo "Southeast Asia: Feel the warmth" i kūkulu ʻia a puni kahi pūnaewele mea kūʻai aku e alakaʻi i nā puke mākaʻikaʻi i nā ʻāina 10 o ASEAN, kahi o Myanmar. he lala.

ʻO ka poʻomanaʻo blurb ma SoutheastAsia.Org, ma lalo o ka tag About Us, i ʻōlelo ʻia "nā lālā o ka Association of Southeast Asian Nations e pōmaikaʻi mai Asia Hikina Hema: e ʻike i ka mehana: Brunei Darussalam; Kamabodia; ʻInidonesia; Lao PDR; Malaia; Maianamara; ka Pilipine; Sinapoa; ʻO Thailand a me Vietnam. "

Ua hoʻokumu ʻia, kākoʻo ʻia, a hoʻomohala ʻia ka papahana e ka USAID's ASEAN Competitiveness Enhancement Enhancement (ACE) Project, i mālama ʻia e ka US firm, Nathan Associates Inc. mai kona keʻena lālā ma Bangkok a ma lalo o ka ʻaelike me ka US Agency for International Development (USAID) ʻĀpana Hoʻomohala ʻĀpana Asia (RDMA).

Ma ka puʻuwai o ka hoʻolaha hoʻolaha, www.southeastasia.org e hana ma ke ʻano he kahua kūʻai, mea kūʻai aku me kahi ʻenekini puke i hoʻolako ʻia e ka meta-search engine Wego.Com.

Manaʻo ka hoʻokele maʻiʻo e loaʻa i kēlā me kēia o nā ʻāina 10 ASEAN ka wahi like no kā lākou huahana huakaʻi. Ua kūkākūkā nui ʻia kēia pilikia ma waena o nā hui mākaʻikaʻi ʻāina ʻo ASEAN, ka mea i ʻimi i nā hōʻoiaʻiʻo ʻaʻohe ʻano kūʻē i ka Myanmar ma ke ʻano o ka hōʻike ʻana i nā huahana huakaʻi.

Ua koho ʻo ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa ʻo Nathan Associates Inc. i kahi hana ma mua o ke aupuni US a me ka limahana USAID, ʻo RJ Gurley, e poʻo i ka hana ma ke ʻano he luna papahana.

Ma waho aʻe o ka hoʻolaha hōʻailona hōʻailona Hikina Hema, ua hāʻawi ʻo Mr. Gurley i nā kālā USAID e hana hou i ka pūnaewele mea kūʻai aku ʻo Greater Mekong Sub-region www.exploremekong.org e kālele ana i ka huakaʻi huakaʻi i kahi hui ʻāina ʻeono - Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar. , Thailand, Vietnam, a me ʻelua panalāʻau o Kina (Yunnan a me Guangxi). Aia ka papahana ma lalo o ke kākoʻo o ka Mekong Tourism Co-ordinating Office, i kākoʻo like ʻia e nā ʻāina ʻeono.

ʻO Exploremekong.org he kope kalapona o Southeastasia.org me ka mea hana hoʻopaʻa like ʻo Wego.Com a me nā pahuhopu pāʻoihana like.

ʻOiai ʻo Myanmar kahi ʻāpana o ka ASEAN a me ka GMS, ua hiki mai ka papahana ACE i ka manaʻo o nā pūʻulu nānā Myanmar ma Wakinekona DC a ke hāpai nei i nā kuʻemaka ma laila.

Ma hope o ka noʻonoʻo ʻana i nā kikoʻī, ua hoʻopau ʻo Ms. Quigley, "ʻAʻole hiki iā mākou ke manaʻoʻiʻo ua ʻae kekahi i kēia papahana. Ke hoʻolaha nei mākou i kekahi mau lālā hoihoi o ka ʻAhaʻōlelo e ʻae ana ʻaʻole i kūlike ka māhele Burma o kēia papahana me ke kulekele US Burma.

Ma ka wehewehe ʻana, pono ka papahana ACE e hoʻokomo iā Myanmar ma ke ʻano he lālā o ASEAN. Akā, ua ʻōlelo ʻo Ms. Quigley: "ʻO ka ʻuhane o [US Burma sanctions] ʻo ia ka mālama ʻana i nā kālā ʻAmelika mai ka lima o ke aupuni Burmese. ʻO ke ʻano o ka hoʻokumu ʻia ʻana o ka ʻoihana mākaʻikaʻi Burmese, ʻaʻole ia he mea liʻiliʻi e manaʻo e pōmaikaʻi ke aupuni i ke kālā mai ka piʻi ʻana o ka mākaʻikaʻi.

"Eia kekahi, ʻo ke kānāwai US e hoʻokele ana pehea e hiki ai i ka US ke hoʻolilo i ke kālā aupuni he mau alakaʻi maʻalahi no ka hiki ʻana o USAID ke hoʻohana i nā kālā e pili ana iā Burma, a e kūʻē kēia papahana USAID i kēlā mau alakaʻi."

ʻO ka luna hoʻokele o Burma Campaign UK ma Lākana, ʻo Anna Roberts, i wehewehe i kona kūlana me ka ʻōlelo ʻana: "ʻAʻohe hoʻopaʻi no ka mākaʻikaʻi, akā ʻaʻole mākou e kākoʻo i nā papahana e hoʻolaha ana i ka mākaʻikaʻi i Burma (a ʻaʻole hoʻi ke aupuni UK).

ʻIke ka hui hoʻokele ACE i kēia mau pilikia. Ma kahi leka uila hou me ke kākau ʻōlelo ASEAN e pili ana i ke kālā kālā huakaʻi, ua haʻi aku ʻo ACE i kāna mau hoa ASEAN e hāʻawi ia i ke kākoʻo no nā tiketi mokulele a me nā diems no ka hui papahana i ka wā e kipa aku ai i nā mokuʻāina āpau o ASEAN koe ʻo Myanmar "ma muli o ke kulekele o kāna ʻenehana. kōkua."

Pono nā huakaʻi huakaʻi i ke kākoʻo ACE ma kahi o US $5,000 no nā tikiki a me kēlā me kēia diems no kahi hui e alakaʻi ana i nā kūkākūkā me nā NTO ASEAN no ka hōʻuluʻulu ʻana i ka Hoʻolālā Kūʻai Kūʻai ʻo ASEAN 2011-2015.

ʻOi aku ka nui o ka hoʻopukapuka ʻia ʻana i ka hoʻomohala ʻana o SoutheastAsia.Org e hāʻawi i ka waiwai nui no ka mākaʻikaʻi ʻo Myanmar, mahalo ʻia e USAID.

ʻO ke aʻo ʻana i nā palapala lehulehu āpau i hoʻopuka ʻia e ACE, me nā papa i hōʻike ʻia ma ka Proposed Target Sectors Evaluation Memorandum, Iune 2008, e hōʻike ana i ka nele o nā ʻikepili a me nā kuhikuhi no Myanmar. ʻO kahi papa ʻikepili mākaʻikaʻi, i hoʻokumu ʻia mai ASEAN, ua hoʻoponopono ʻia e hōʻike wale i nā hopena mai ʻeiwa mau lālā ʻo ASEAN e haʻalele ana iā Myanmar. ʻO nā ʻōlelo pōkole wale nō o Myanmar i hana ʻia ma nā palapala ACE ma hope.

Ua ʻike lōʻihi kēia mau kūʻē. Ua hānai mua ʻia lākou i ka manawa i hoʻopaʻa ʻia ai ka Memorandum of Understanding mua ma waena o ACE a me ASEANTA ma ka ASEAN Tourism Forum ma Hanoi, Ianuali 2009. Noi ʻia e wehewehe, ua hōʻole kekahi ʻelele USAID ma Hanoi i ka ʻōlelo, e pili ana i nā nīnau i ke keʻena poʻo USAID ma Wakinekona DC.

Ua ʻohi ka hoʻopaʻapaʻa. Ma kahi hālāwai kūkā ma ka ITB Berlin ma mua o kēia mahina, ua nīnau ka mea hoʻoponopono o Travel Business Analyst, ʻo Murray Bailey, e pili ana i ka hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia nā blog ma ka pūnaewele e hoʻopuka i nā ʻōlelo anti-Myanmar, a me ka hoʻohewa ʻana i nā ʻāina ʻē aʻe o ASEAN a i ʻole nā mea pilikino. ʻāpana.

Ua pane ʻo Mr. Gurley, ka mea nāna i mālama i ka ʻaha kūkā, ua loaʻa i ka papahana kahi kaʻina hana kūpono e hoʻopau i kēia mau ʻōlelo "me ka ʻole o ka hana ʻana e like me ka papa censor." Eia naʻe, ua kāpae ʻo ia i nā nīnau hou aʻe e nīnau ana pehea e mālama ʻia ai kēia, a na wai hoʻi. "ʻAʻole au makemake e komo i loko," wahi āna.

ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo i hōʻike ʻia e ka pūnaewele ACE e kuhikuhi i kahi hopena hoʻokahi: ʻo Myanmar ke kū nei i ka pōmaikaʻi nui mai ka hoʻokomo ʻana o USAID i ka pūnaewele a me nā hoʻolaha pili.

Ma ka mana, ua ʻōlelo ʻo USAID ua hoʻokuʻu ʻo ia i ke kōkua i ka ʻāina ma hope o ke kāohi ʻana i ka neʻe pro-democracy i ka makahiki 1988. Mai ka makahiki 1998, ua kaupalena ʻia kāna kālā mokuʻāina i ke kākoʻo ʻana i ka demokala ma Myanmar a me nā pūʻulu pro-democracy ma waho o Myanmar a me ka hāʻawi ʻana i ke kōkua kanaka e like me ka mālama olakino mua a me ke kākoʻo hoʻonaʻauao kumu i nā poʻe mahuka e noho ana ma nā kahua hoʻomoana o ka palena a me ke kōkua ulia pōpilikia i ka wā o ka Cyclone Nargis.
