Myanmar’s water sector faced several challenges. It experienced excessive deforestation and destruction of the ecosystem, particularly in Barmah Forest. Its irrigation facilities have also deteriorated over time, and its canals and network system were incomplete and inefficient. This presentation shares how the country addressed these issues through the implementation of the Irrigated Agriculture Inclusive Development Project.
