National Blueprint · One of 195

Myanmar

A nation of 54.9 million between South and Southeast Asia, rich in forest, rivers and land, where on the 2019 data only one child in ten could read a simple text by the end of primary school.

Perfect Nations values what Myanmar owns and raises capital against it, through innovative financing for development (FfD) and super intelligence (SI).

Perfect Nations estimate, to be confirmed with Myanmar. Figures marked dated rest on surveys more than five years old; lenient measures are marked as such. The strict measures

Strict measures. Food: share not moderately or severely food insecure (FAO). Water: safely managed drinking water where measured; where it is not, basic water, marked as such. Shelter: the lower of safely managed sanitation and the share outside urban slums. Energy: the lower of electricity per person against 1,000 kWh and clean cooking; where electricity per person is not published, clean cooking. Education: the lower of children reading by the end of primary school and lower-secondary completion. Health: WHO service coverage index. Livelihood: share above the stricter of the national poverty line and the World Bank line for the nation’s income group (US$8.30 a day for high-income nations). Each figure links to its source.

Dear Myanmar,

Your forests, rivers and delta are vast.

Four in five of you have electricity, and fewer than half cook with clean fuel. On the 2019 data, nine in ten children could not read a simple text by the end of primary school. When the conditions allow capital to return, let it go first to the teacher.

“When capital can return, let it go first to the teacher.”
