Myanmar is transitioning to democracy after five decades of military rule. The government plans to strengthen the national capacity for social welfare and social work training. Drawing on their experiences in developing and teaching Post-Graduate Diploma in Social Work in Yangon since 2006, the authors consider what forms of social work are relevant to Myanmar in its context as an emerging democracy in the Asia-Pacific region. The authors contend that, grounded in principles of human rights and social justice, Myanmar social workers have key roles to play in determining the future of social work and development in Myanmar.
