Nationwide case management supervision unit (NCMSU) holds meeting

The Ministry of Social Welfare, Relief and Resettlement held a Nationwide Case Management Supervision Unit (NCMSU) coordination meeting in Nay Pyi Taw yesterday.
Union Minister Dr Thet Thet Khine, Directors General and Deputy Directors-General from the departments and Social Welfare Department officials from the Nay Pyi Taw Council, regions and states joined the meeting virtually.
At the meeting, Union Minister Dr Thet Thet Khine said it is necessary to continue to produce more case managers to cover the whole country. The Department must provide the support needed for the case managers as the case management is giving service to each and every person.
The Standard Operations Guidelines were introduced for the first time in 2015 to enable case managers to be more systematic in their implementation. In 2019, a working guide was issued to address not only child issues but also gender-based violence.
The Union Minister said 3,360 cases of children had been solved in the six years since the case management was started, including 1,466 cases of children facing lawsuit and 1,168 cases of sexual abuse.
The Ministry of Social Welfare, Relief and Resettlement is also liaising with other relevant ministries depending on the child cases as per the responsibilities of the National Committee on the Rights of the Child (NCRC) under the Ministry’s policy and liaison with other relevant ministries.
The NCMSU was formed on 28 October 2020 in order to be able to quickly and easily collect information on operations by the modern changing system and to be able to manage under the working mechanism of the Union Government.
The Union Minister urged to openly discuss the business needs and challenges encountered in order to make joint plans to strengthen the implementation activities. The meeting discussed the implementation done by the NCMSU, coordination with relevant departments and organizations and future plans to integrate into the Social Welfare Management Information System (SMIS) to be implemented by the Department in order to organize information together and future implementation plans. — MNA
