The National Reconciliation and Peace Centre (Burmese: အမျိုးသားပြန်လည်သင့်မြတ်ရေးနှင့်ငြိမ်းချမ်းရေးဗဟိုဌာန; abbreviated NRPC), formerly known as the Myanmar Peace Centre (abbreviated MPC), was an organization to provide technical support to the peacemaking process in Myanmar (Burma),[1] including implementing and managing ceasefire agreements and facilitating dialogue on political issues.
[2] The centre was renamed the NRPC in July 2016, with the promulgation of Order 50/2016 by President Htin Kyaw.
[3][4] The centre was dissolved in February 2021 by authorities, in the aftermath of the 2021 Myanmar coup d'etat.
In addition, it will serve as a platform for government officials, members of ethnic militia groups, civil society organisations, international donors and international non-governmental organisations to meet and negotiate.
[7] The centre coordinates government activities in five key areas: MPC was criticised by Bertil Lintner for lacking capacity and a mandate to promote the peace process, and was likened to an organisation which is paid to do nothing.
