AMCHAM Myanmar provides a point of exchange and coordination of efforts to improve business conditions and opportunities for American and American-affiliated organizations in Myanmar. AMCHAM provides businesses and business-persons with a venue for the exchange of ideas and for identifying common purposes to pursue in both the private and government sectors in Myanmar, in the Asian region, and in the United States.
AMCHAM Myanmar currently has 6 committees that cover a variety of commercial and industrial business activities, as well as the Chamber's social and charitable functions. Each committee serves as a forum for discussing common interests and common issues, as well as for taking initiative and action that aims to provide platforms for more inclusive sector-specific discussions.
AMCHAM has no affiliation with the U.S. Government or any of its components; however, AMCHAM maintains an active collaborative relationship with the Embassy of the United States in Yangon and other U.S. Government institutions. Through these channels, AMCHAM has access to information on economic and commercial activities within the country and maintains liaison with various ministries of the Myanmar government.
AMCHAM also provides the focal point for channeling social service activities intended to benefit the people of Myanmar through its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programs.
