The funds were used to purchase information communication equipment to allow for enhanced communication among activists inside Burma and between these activists and the outside world, and to meet emergency needs such as medicine, food, and safe houses of monks and student activists inside the country. The total amount of the seven grants was US$389,468. 2008 NED Grant for Burma (US$3,724,912) http://www.ned.org/publications/annual-reports/2008-annual-report/asia/description-of-2008-grants/burma Referendum-related Grants In February 2008, the Burmese military government announced its intention to hold a nationwide referendum on a draft constitution. Most analysts agreed that the proposed constitution, if adopted, would enshrine the military’s paramount role in politics in the country. In response, a consensus emerged among the Burmese prodemocracy movement that it must participate in the referendum process, as opposed to boycotting it, but that its participation would focus on a campaign organized to inform the Burmese population about the referendum and its consequences for the people. In response, at its March 2008 meeting, the NED Board of Directors approved a package of funding for a variety of referendum-related activities. The activities included producing and distributing pamphlets and booklets containing information on the referendum and the constitution; distributing t-shirts and stickers urging people to vote no; organizing trips of activists throughout the country to conduct small group discussions on the referendum and its ramifications for the people of Burma; producing referendum-focused newspapers supplements; establishing teams of election monitors to observe how the referendum was conducted on the day of the polls; and producing a variety of radio programs, including a series of public debates with leading Burmese figures who discussed the referendum and the constitution, a one-hour TV satire featuring a popular Burmese comedy troupe; reports on elections and referendums in other countries, and interviews with ordinary Burmese on their feelings about the referendum and the constitution. Through a combination of grants and supplemental funding, the NED assisted 17 organizations with their referendum-related activities for a total of US$441,944. 2009 NED Grant for Burma (US$ $3,179,769) http://www.ned.org/publications/annual-reports/2009-annual-report/asia/description-of-2009-grants/burma
