The Myanmar Information Management Unit (MIMU)is an Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) commonservice providing information management services, including GIS mapping and analysis, to the humanitarianand development actors both inside and outside of Myanmar.
Myanmar Standardized Place Names and P-codes In Myanmar there has long been confusion with multiple versions of transliterated place names in use by various agencies. The Myanmar Information Management Unit (MIMU) has taken on the task of overseeing a comprehensive translation of place names into a common system that is promoted by IASC members and other organizations. In addition to standard place names, standard place codes have also been developed. The methodology applied for place name standardization was as follows: The names and p-codes of States/Divisions, Districts and Townships were provided by the Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation, Settlement and Land Records Department (SLRD). In 2005 those names were presented to and agreed by UNCT and INGOs as the standard English translation for Myanmar. The names for village tracts and villages were provided in Myanmar language by the Ministry of Home Affairs, General Administration Department (GAD). Names were translated/transliterated to English by a team supervised by the MIMU. The names were also cross-referenced with the SLRD names and the names in use by various UN Agencies and NGOs. Kachin, Chin and Shan names (i.e. non-Burmese names) were reviewed by local experts in the field. The final translation was completed in 2007. What are P-codes? P-code is an abbreviated term for 'Place Code'. P-codes are similar to postal codes and are part of a data management system that provides unique reference codes to thousands of locations in Myanmar. These codes provide a systematic means of linking and exchanging data and analyzing relationships between them. Any information that is linked to one location with a P-code can be linked and analyzed with any other. In Myanmar, the p-code for rural places is structured as follows:
Code Structure Example 3-letter ISO Prefix 3-numerical code for States and Divisions 3-numerical code for Townships 3-numerical code for Village Tracts 3-numerical code for Villages
MMR Myanmar 017 Ayeyarwady Division 024 Bogale Township 001 Linn Taing Village Tract 001 Auk Linn Taing Village
Therefore, the p-code for Auk Linn Taing village in Ayeyarwady Division is MMR017024001001.

Why are P-codes useful? P-codes resolve the basic issue of what we all call a place. If agencies develop individual systems for naming or coding places this makes data sharing extremely difficult and large amounts of potentially useful information may go unshared. Spatial data standards agreed by all agencies provide a single, unified system for referring to locations, allowing the free exchange of data between participating agencies. Why should my agency use P-codes? To promote cooperation and information sharing and gain full access to data collected by other agencies through assessments, evaluations, etc. This information can help you to plan your own programmes and avoid repeating surveys already done by others. Agencies using the P-codes for their own data management will be able to combine this information with datasets from other participating organisations. P-codes also form the basis of spatial data standards required for full GIS capability, allowing data linked to towns, villages and administrative units to be mapped and geographically analysed. Data collected with Global Positioning System (GPS) equipment can also be used. How can P-codes be used in my existing databases? In most cases, adoption of P-codes requires only the addition of two extra columns to your existing databases and spreadsheets. Over time it is recommended that any other naming or coding systems be phased out and that all new data collection projects use the P-codes and Standardized Place Names. A full list of P-codes and place names is available in Excel or other formats from the Myanmar Information Management Unit. Technical assistance in incorporating the standards is also available upon request. To report place name errors or omissions, please contact the Myanmar Information Management Unit (MIMU), Office of the UN Resident Co-ordinator, 6 Natmauk Road, Yangon, Myanmar, Phone: (951) 542 910-19.
