On September 3, 2024, the Inside Burma Team of the New Myanmar Foundation (NMF) conducted a Civics Awareness Sharing session in Tamu, Sagaing Region, with over 25 local residents in attendance. The session focused on enhancing participants’ understanding of civic responsibilities, democratic principles, and the importance of active citizen participation in local governance. 

Through discussions on the fundamentals of democracy, the rule of law, and strategies for engaging with local authorities, the event successfully empowered community members to take an active role in shaping their future. The positive response from the participants highlighted the critical need for such initiatives, especially in regions facing political and social challenges, and NMF remains committed to supporting similar programs across the country.
