Introduction

Development Alliance Myanmar is rooted by the inspiration of the youth policy enhancement process since 2016 following democratic transition period in Myanmar and was founded by the youth activists who were involved in the youth policy process. In the consecutive year, DA-Myanmar was operated as an organization starting in 2017 working with youths in fighting for democracy and human rights and support initiatives for Myanmar youth development with youth focus strategy. Since the organization was founded to strengthen the local youth communities along with youth policy implementation, DA-Myanmar enriched the youth institutional capacity development as well as advocating the meaningful youth participation in the multi sectoral affairs in the country. In 2019, DA-Myanmar expanded the mission of the organization and enhanced the mutual contribution with other CSOs and youth alliances to leverage the implementation of youth focused strategy.
