We would like to thank all those who took part in the planning and conduct of the qualitative study and literature review and helped with their time and insights, in particular those involved in the interviews, and those who helped in identifying literature. This report is based on a qualitative study and literature review conducted by two consultants Nang Mo Hom and Fiona Campbell commissioned by HelpAge International. We express thanks to Fiona M. Campbell, Nang Mo Hom, Khin Thiri Maung, Dr. Soe Myint, Dr. Tej Ram Jat, Charlotte Aberdein, and Stephen Himley for their contribution at various stages of the assessment. Any mistakes or misinterpretations in the current report are the responsibility of the authors. The analysis is presented as a first step in an on-going process. It is hoped that the report will be used as a basis for further discussion and development of a priority research agenda on NCDs in Myanmar. v Summary HelpAge International Myanmar is working with the University of Public Health (UPH) and the University of Medicine 2 (UM2) in Myanmar, and Thammasat University of Public Health in Thailand, on a programme to support evidence-based NCD policy and improved NCD services in Myanmar. As part of the programme, HelpAge International and partners commissioned a review of the available evidence on the burden of NCDs and their associated risk factors in Myanmar. The review encompasses three complementary components: 1) a review of published literature 2000-2015 on NCDs and their risk factors; 2) qualitative interviews with key actors engaged in NCD research in Myanmar; and 3) additional reviews of Myanmar ethical committee inquiries and post- graduate research on NCDs in Myanmar. This report outlines the key findings from the three components including a synthesis of the key outcomes from the literature review and qualitative interviews, and an assessment of the gaps in the evidence against a framework of evidence needs. The review identifies limitations in the current research on NCDs in terms of quantity and quality. In particular, there is limited evidence on the prevalence of NCDs in Myanmar with only small numbers of studies available in any individual disease category. In addition the evidence on risk factors for NCDs in Myanmar is also limited, although the STEPs study is acknowledged as providing important insights into risk factors for NCDs over time. There are limited studies looking at interventions to address NCDs in the country, and in particular those targeted at the population level. An analysis of the available evidence against key information needs highlights gaps across the evidence base. A number of implications of the research gaps on policy development/policy makers and priority needs are identified. A series of next steps are proposed to take forward the process of addressing these gaps. vi Introduction and Background to the Report HelpAge International (HAI) Myanmar is working with the University of Public Health (UPH) and the University of Medicine 2 (UM2) in Myanmar, and Thammasat University of Public Health in Thailand in support of the programme “Strengthening public health capacity to respond to Myanmar’s disease transition”. The overall goal of the programme is to contribute to equitable and universal health care through improved support to evidence-based Non-Communicable Disease (NCD) policy and improved NCD health services. As part of the programme, HelpAge International and partners commissioned a review of available evidence on the burden of NCDs and their associated risk factors in Myanmar. The aim of the review was to identify gaps in the current evidence base on NCDs, and to suggest priority actions to address these gaps in support of the longer term design and development of programme and policy interventions to address NCDs in the country. Myanmar is identified as one of 23 high burden countries with respect to NCDS (Alwan et al, 2010). Data points to a significant burden of NCDs (WHO, 2014a) and to a potential increase in exposure to risk factors associated with key NCDs (Byfield and Moodie, 2013). The WHO 2nd Global Status report on NCDs (WHO, 2014b), estimated 59% of total deaths in Myanmar are due to NCDs, with a 24% probability of dying from one of the 4 main NCDs between the ages of 30 and 70 years. The report also highlights a growing concern with several risk factors for NCDs including hypertension and overweight/obesity. This concern has been strengthened by the results of the national survey of diabetes mellitus and risk factors for non-communicable diseases in Myanmar, published in November 2015, which found that over 90% of participants had at least one risk factor and almost 20% of the study population had 3-5 risk factors (MoHS, 2015). Data from the 2015 Global Burden of Disease report also points to an increase in premature death1 from causes attributable to NCDs over the period between 1990 and 2010. Four NCDs (stroke, Ischaemic Heart diseases, cirrhosis and congenital anomalies) are in the top 10 causes of Years of Life Lost (YLL) in 2010 (IHME, 2016). The challenge posed by NCDs has been recognised in-country for some time. A commitment to addressing the burden of NCDs and their risk factors has been outlined in the National Policy on NCD Prevention and Control (available in draft). This policy builds on a number of previous publications and links Myanmar’s actions to wider regional and global efforts (WHO, 2013; WHO, 2011). The new government, elected in November 2015, has further emphasised the need to tackle the burden of NCDs in the country in its Programme for Health Reforms (NHN, 2016). In the Programme, a reduction in the incidence of selected NCDs is identified as a key aspect of the vision 1 The term premature death/mortality is used here as per IHME definition where “YLL are the estimated number of years lost based on the highest life expectancy in the deceased’s age group”.

  • Feasibility Assessment on Forecast-Based Action in the Republic of the Union of Myanmar
    FEASIBILITY ASSESSMENT ON FORECAST-BASED ACTION IN THE REPUBLIC OF THE UNION OF MYANMAR ပြည်ထ ောင်စု သ搹မတ ပ搹န်搹ောန ုင်ငံထတော်တွင် လုြ်ထောင်န ုင်ထသော လုြ်ထ ောင်ချက်搹ျောျားအတွက်ပြစ်န ုင်ထချရ ထသော န်ျားစစ်搹搹ျော Karoliina Pilli-Sihvola; Finnish Red Cross Tuuli Laitila; Finnish Red Cross Moe Thida Win, Myanmar Red Cross Society October 2020 i EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Introduction 1. Myanmar is exposed and vulnerable to various hydro-meteorological hazards which cause serious humanitarian impacts and consequences. To reduce the loss and damage from the hazards requires a shift from disaster response toward forecast based early actions, including innovative instruments, such as the use of Shock Responsive Social Protection measures to increase the resilience of people and communities. 2. Anticipatory Action, that is Forecast-based Action (FbA), Forecast-based Financing (FbF) and Early Warning Early Action (EWEA) are all initiatives which aim at using weather, climate and impact-based forecasts to trigger actions which reduce the loss and damage from hazards. For clarification, this report uses the term Forecast-based Action to describe the initiatives. 3. In Myanmar, the development of an FbA system is on-going as part of the European Union funded project “Scaling up Forecast based Financing/Early Warning Early Action (FbF/EWEA) and Shock Responsive Social Protection (SRSP) with innovative use of climate risk information for disaster resilience in ASEAN”. The project is led by UN FAO, and the consortium includes UNICEF, WFP and the German Red Cross. This project is complemented by various other projects implemented by the project consortium partners. 4. This report presents recommendations for the development of a sustainable FbA system in Myanmar based on a feasibility assessment.

  • Geographical Point of View on Transformation from Waste Disposal Site to Housing in Yangon City Dr
    1 Geographical Point of View on Transformation from Waste Disposal Site to Housing in Yangon City Dr. Nant Mu Aye Professor and Head Geography Department Yangon University of Economics Introduction Brownfields are generally defined as abandoned or underused industrial or commercial properties where redevelopment is complicated by actual or perceived environmental contamination. Brownfields vary in size, location, age and past use. They can range from a small, abandoned corner gas station to a large, multi-acre former manufacturing plant that has been closed for years. ( Environmental Protection Agency,) Some waste disposal sites suffer from the mistaken perception that they are contaminated, when in fact, they just need to be cleared of debris. There may be soil and groundwater contamination caused by discharges or dumping of organic and inorganic chemicals. Redevelopment of waste disposal sites benefits communities through urban regeneration, reduced sprawl, an increase in tax revenues and job and an improved living environment. Therefore, transformation of waste disposal site to housing area is important for sustainable development of the urban area. Brownfield redevelopment is important because it - restores urban property to productive use, thus increasing property values - increases job opportunities and local tax revenues - improves public health and the environment - utilizes existing public infrastructure. - eliminates neighbourhood blight, thus improving a community's image and long-term sustainability. Brownfields can be redeveloped for a wide variety of purposes. Successful redevelopment efforts have turned brownfields into retail sites, light industrial facilities, office parks, waterfront promenades, parks, schools, low–income housing, stadiums and transit centres. Strategic Brownfield redevelopment can clean up environmental hazards, remove neighbourhood eyesore, create jobs, provide housing and promote general economic health in local communities of all sizes.
