Chin Human Rights Organisation: Project Kaladan Movement External Evaluation Report
The Chin Human Rights Organisation (CHRO) has implemented the Stefanus Alliance International (SAINT)-funded Project Kaladan Movement (2012-2015) together with its partners: the Arakan Rivers Network (ARN) and the Zo Indigenous Forum (ZIF). Based on previous experiences in Burma, they shared concerns over potential human rights, social, economic and environmental impacts of the Kaladan Multi-Modal Transport Transit project, designed to link Mizoram state with the Indian Ocean, traversing Burma’s Chin and Arakan states through road and river transports. As the current project approaches its end (December 2015), SAINT in conjunction with CHRO determined to carry out an external evaluation of the project with the purpose: “To highlight key impacts and successes of Project Kaladan Movement. To highlight weakness in implementation of Project Kaladan Movement, and to make recommendations as to how lessons learned can be fed into future activity planning and organisational development. To make recommendations regarding indicators and monitoring tools that could be integrated into on-going Project Kaladan Movement activities, as well as the work of the Chin Human Rights Organization more broadly. To assess the ownership of CRHO: Assess and document whether CHRO is locally (Burmese) run: the leadership, the staff, the participants, and the founders of CHRO.”
