31 December 2015

View Document

Myanmar has a relatively modern environmental policy but lacks a social safeguards policy to address emerging social issues associated with development agenda that the country has set for future. As one of the initiatives to build capacity within the country, the ADB in July 2012 approved the TA 7566-REG MYANMAR: Strengthening and Use of Country Safeguard System (CSS). This ongoing Technical Assistance has four main components to build safeguard understanding and awareness within the GoM. The four components included: (a) a National Seminar and Training Workshop; (b) coordination and cooperation with other development partners including International financial institutions and bilateral agencies, (c) a study tour for GoM and civil society representatives; (d) a training and capacity needs assessment and a draft road map for the Governmentof Myanmar for establishing its own country safeguard system. The current subproject (TA 7566-Institutional Strengthening and Capacity Development for the Ministry of Construction) is aimed to build up on the recommendations of the TA 7566.
