The CRVME was implemented by The Asia Foundation and funded by the World Bank via the Korea Trust Fund for Economic and Peacebuilding Transitions, with co-support from Canada’s International Development Research Centre (IDRC). The UK Department for International Development (DFID) provided additional support through the Programme Partnership Arrangement. Myanmar version
