The Myanmar Development Resource Institute (Burmese: မြန်မာ့ဖွံ့ဖြိုး တိုးတက်ရေး အရင်းအမြစ် အဖွဲ့အစည်း, abbreviated MDRI) is an independent think tank and economic and social policy research organization based in Yangon, Myanmar.[1] MDRI consists of 3 specialized centers, namely the Centre for Economic and Social Development (CESD), Centre for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) and the Centre for Legal Affairs.[2][3]
MRDI was initially proposed by Burmese economist U Myint in May 2011, in a paper entitled “Reducing Poverty in Myanmar: The Way Forward,” to combat poverty.[4] The Institute was then founded the following year, by U Myint and other advisors to President Thein Sein.[5]
