EC "Burma Day 2005" Conference, April 5th 2005, Brussels...Summary Conclusions: 1. INGO function independently in accordance with principles of humanitarian work; 2. The space for us to do so has improved significantly over the years, even if there are still problems; 3. We can go to scale in delivering significant services and other benefits to the poor in most of the country; 4. We can interact productively with health professionals in the civil service and facilitate significant positive change in the sectoral policy environment; 5. The small-scale independent private sector is a powerful partner in going to scale; 6. While significant, the scale and scope of our activities is small relative to need, especially if we compare with other countries; 7. The EU should increase the amount and scope of aid to Burma/Myanmar; 8. Health should continue to be an area of priority for EC assistance; 9. The aid should be delivered in a way that maximises the role of civil society and the private sector, while retaining an appropriate role for government; 10. The EC should directly manage the aid programme and maintain the highest standards of performance expectations and accountability.
