About This Initiative
The Burma Project was established by the Open Society Institute in 1994 for the purpose of increasing international awareness of conditions in Burma and helping the country make the transition from a closed to an open society.
The Burma Project first expanded into the rest of Southeast Asia in the late 1990s. The fall of Indonesia's General Suharto in 1998 and the country's ensuing democratic transition compelled the project to devote more attention to Indonesia. The Burma Project began supporting local Indonesian organizations working towards an open society, most notably Yayasan Tifa (TIFA Foundation).
Aside from its focus countries, Burma and Indonesia, the Burma Project/Southeast Asia Initiative now primarily supports organizations with a regional concentration, but, where circumstances give rise to special concern, it may support more localized projects.
