ACESM Program Overview

The Advancing Community Empowerment in Southeastern Myanmar (ACESM) project, supported by the US
Agency for International Development/Burma, aims to support communities in their empowerment processes
by reducing vulnerabilities, promoting community participation in decision making, and strengthening
mechanisms for more responsive and accountable local governance. ACESM is a five-year, $48 million project
funded by USAID and implemented by Pact in partnership with Community Partners International, Mercy Corps,
and Save the Children. The project will also partner with a range of local and regional organizations to address a
variety of community needs and development priorities in the region.

ACESM will work to foster integrated, inclusive, and sustainable service provision to underserved communities
in areas of Southeastern Myanmar. Beginning with community-identified needs and solutions, the project takes a
systems approach that constructively engages the demand and supply sides of service delivery, focusing on
health, education, livelihoods, water/sanitation/hygiene (WASH), and disaster risk management.

Project partners will provide technical support for skills-building and institutional strengthening to nurture
relationships and explore cooperation within and between communities, service providers, and decision makers.
ACESM promotes a locally driven shift, where possible, from humanitarian assistance toward a strategic
approach that can channel community voices and priorities towards improved, integrated service delivery and
contribute to conditions for inclusive peace and development.
