Nawnghkio (Burmese: နောင်ချိုမြို့, Shan: ဝဵင်းၼွင်ၶဵဝ်), variously spelt Naunghkio, Naungcho or Nawngcho, is a town in Kyaukme District, in northern Shan State, Burma. It is the principal town and administrative seat of Nawnghkio Township. It is connected to Mandalay, Pyin U Lwin, Kyaukme, Hsipaw and Lashio by road and rail and by road to Taunggyi via National Road 43.[2][3] Asia World Company won the contract to rebuild part of the road in 2002.[4] Originally on the Mandalay-Lashio Road, after Pyin U Lwin and before Kyaukme, Nawnghkio is on what is now the Mandalay-Muse Road, part of the Asian Highway Route 14 (AH14).[2]

Approximately 2,900 acres (12 km2) of land in the area were reclaimed and allotted to coffee growers in 1999–2000.[5]

Women of reproductive age (15-49) in Kyaukme and Nawnghkio have been targeted for improvement in reproductive health in the community in collaboration with Japan. A study mission was started in June 2004, with the project continuing for the period January 2005- December 2009.[6][7]
