A Blended Learning Course on Business and Human Rights has been conducted recently at MNHRC by the Danish Institute for Human Rights and the Myanmar Centre for Responsible Business.

The Blended Learning Course started with a four week e-learning course starting on 25th August and ending on 18th September.

The face to face training workshop took place on 7 to 9 October at MNHRC Function Hall in Yangon, Myanmar. The workshop was led by instructors from DIHR; Elin Wrzoncki, Programme Manager, Human Rights & Business and Nora Götzmann, Senior Adviser, Human Rights & Development.

Twenty-three participants from MNHRC and seven participants from MCRB took part. The e-learning provided an introduction to business and human rights, including an overview of the UN Guiding Principle on Business and Human Rights and experiences of National Human Rights Institutions working on business and human rights in other countries.

The face to face training built on the content of the e-learning, and included a focus on specific business and Human Rights topics such as labour issues, the impact of extractive industries on Human Rights and land-related issues.

The training benefited the MNHRC in the accomplishment of its mandate of promoting and protecting human rights and addressing situations where human rights are affected by the business sector. This is particularly timely as Myanmar is facing many issues during the transitional period of economic development.
