Country: Republic of the Union of Myanmar 2. Project Name: Preparatory Survey for the Project for Strengthening Connectivity of International Highways in the Mekong Region 3. Execution Agency: Ministry of Construction (MOC) 4. Survey Objectives: The aim of the project is to collect information concerning the arterial roads located in south-eastern Myanmar (Payagyi-Dawei Road, Eindu-Myawaddy Road, Thaton-Eindu Road, Mawlamyine- Eindu Road, and Thanbyuzayat-Hpayarthonesu Road (Three Pagoda Pass)) including site conditions, progress of existing projects, etc. to extract project proposals expected to require implementation in the near future to select priority projects to conduct necessary procedures to determine the project’s suitability as a yen-loan project including examining the outline, estimated project costs, the systems in place for project implementation, management, and operation and maintenance, as well as environmental and social considerations, etc. 5. Survey Contents: [Stage 1] Confirmation of project necessity and adequacy; decision of project scope Collection and analysis of related documentation and data Site condition survey Selection of target routes [Stage 2] Preliminary design; confirmation of project effects Natural condition survey Preliminary design Project cost estimation Project evaluation [Stage 3] Prepare the report Prepare the preparatory survey report 6. Conclusions and Recommendations: (1) Conclusions The Project is technically and economically feasible and environmentally sound. Hence, implementation of the Project is justified for the benefit of the national and its people. The Project consists of the replacement of 4 bridges and the construction of 2 bypass roads. The Project is divided into 2 sub-projects: improvement of EWEC towards Yangon and improvement of EWEC towards Mawlamyine. Three types of bridges are to be constructed in the Project: Steel-I girder (2 bridges), PC extradosed (2 bridges), Steel cable-stayed Bridge and PC-I girder bridges (Many). Thaton bypass shall be an asphalt-paved road running for approx. 29 km, beginning at the existing road on the east side of the existing Donthami Bridge, and ending at north Don Wun on NR-8. Kyargalay bypass shall be an asphalt-paved road running for approx. 25km, beginning at the existing road leading to Gyaing Kawkareik Bridge, ending at the road leading to Gyaing Zathapyin Bridge. (2) Recommendations Restructuring of MOC is under implementation as of May 2015 and the general election is scheduled for November 2015. Therefore, coordination of priority and implementation schedule of each project is required. Final adjustment with relevant projects such as the ADB-financed Eindu to Kawkareik Road Improvement Project shall be required in the detailed design. It is desirable to implement transfer of advanced construction techniques (such as those used in Japan) to Myanmar through project execution, and MOC has expressed strong interest in the learning Japanese construction techniques. Thus, there discussions must be held to form and execute a meaningful specific training programme encompassing each stage of design and construction. As for the weathering steel, appropriateness should be determined in the detailed design stage. In this study, preliminary design was performed in consideration of an inventory survey of existing utilities in the project area such as water pipes, telephone lines and electricity lines (which was conducted within the topographic survey). Relocation of existing utilities is expected to be carried out through Myanmar government funds. In the detailed design stage, a detailed study of existing utilities needs to be conducted, and support shall be required in order to coordinate with relevant agencies and develop a relocation plan based on the acquired information. MOC hopes to complete the replacement of Gyaing Kawkareik Bridge as early as possible, so the schedule of works assumed in this study includes night-time construction work in order to shorten the construction period. Considering this, in the subsequent detailed design and implementation stages, measures for eliminating bottlenecks to shorten the construction time (while ensuring safety and quality) must be devised. After receiving approval of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report and Abbreviated Resettlement Action Plan Report (ARAP) from the Environmental Conservation Department (ECD) under Ministry of Environmental Conservation & Forest), these reports must be translated into Burmese and disclosed to project- affected persons and other residents for a period of more than one month. Project-affected areas shall be indicated to project-affected persons prior to the detailed design phase. The approved RAP shall be updated based on requirements concluded through detailed design, and compensation and land acquisition must be performed before before construction begins. The Project Proponent shall swiftly respond to claims and complaints from project- affected persons and other inhabitants in accordance with the grievance redress scheme given in the approved RAP, and shall endeavour to promote understanding of the project’s necessity.

The successful planning and implementation of the census activities, followed by the timely release of the provisional results in August 2014 and now the main results in May 2015, is a clear testimony of the Government’s resolve to publish all information collected from respondents in accordance with the Population and Housing Census Law No. 19 of 2013. It is my hope that the main census results will be interpreted correctly and will effectively inform the planning and decision-making processes in our quest for national development. The census structures put in place, including the Central Census Commission, Census Committees and Offices at all administrative levels and the International Technical Advisory Board (ITAB), a group of 15 experts from different countries and institutions involved in censuses and statistics internationally, provided the requisite administrative and technical inputs for the implementation of the census.

    Military Brotherhood Between Thailand and Myanmar: from Ruling to Governing the Borderlands

    1 Military Brotherhood between Thailand and Myanmar: From Ruling to Governing the Borderlands Naruemon Thabchumphon, Carl Middleton, Zaw Aung, Surada Chundasutathanakul, and Fransiskus Adrian Tarmedi1, 2 Paper presented at the 4th Conference of the Asian Borderlands Research Network conference “Activated Borders: Re-openings, Ruptures and Relationships”, 8-10 December 2014 Southeast Asia Research Centre, City University of Hong Kong 1. Introduction Signaling a new phase of cooperation between Thailand and Myanmar, on 9 October 2014, Thailand’s new Prime Minister, General Prayuth Chan-o-cha took a two-day trip to Myanmar where he met with high-ranked officials in the capital Nay Pi Taw, including President Thein Sein. That this was Prime Minister Prayuth’s first overseas visit since becoming Prime Minister underscored the significance of Thailand’s relationship with Myanmar. During their meeting, Prime Minister Prayuth and President Thein Sein agreed to better regulate border areas and deepen their cooperation on border related issues, including on illicit drugs, formal and illegal migrant labor, including how to more efficiently regulate labor and make Myanmar migrant registration processes more efficient in Thailand, human trafficking, and plans to develop economic zones along border areas – for example, in Mae 3 Sot district of Tak province - to boost trade, investment and create jobs in the areas . With a stated goal of facilitating border trade, 3 pairs of adjacent provinces were named as “sister provinces” under Memorandums of Understanding between Myanmar and Thailand signed by the respective Provincial governors during the trip.4 Sharing more than 2000 kilometer of border, both leaders reportedly understood these issues as “partnership matters for security and development” (Bangkok Post, 2014).

LIFT’s donors are Australia, Denmark, the European Union, France, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States of America. From the private sector, the Mitsubishi Corporation is a donor. The overall goal of LIFT is to sustainably reduce the number of people living in poverty and hunger in Myanmar. LIFT’s purpose is to improve the incomes and nutrition status of poor rural people by promoting resilient livelihoods and food security. Its designated outcomes are improvements in income, resilience, nutrition, and pro-poor policy developments. LIFT works with implementing partners (IPs), such as international NGOs, national NGOs, United Nations agencies, international organisations, academic and research institutions and the Government of Myanmar. LIFT is currently funding projects at the Union level and in the Ayeyarwady Delta, the Dry Zone, Myanmar’s Uplands and Rakhine State. So far, LIFT has reached over three million people, or roughly six per cent of Myanmar's population, and is active in just under half of the country's townships. The Fund is expected to continue operations until the end of 2018.
