This report specifically covers: • Key advances and issues relevant to the Social Safeguards monitoring of the Maubin – Pyapon Road Rehabilitation Project including Rapid Rural Livelihoods Assessment of 17 Affected Persons including the SAP. • Status of HIV/AIDS Awareness training • Current mechanism for Grievance redress • Other – Gender Sensitisation of Contractors and PMU. With a considerable portion of the Project construction either underway or complete, it is important to assess the impacts of the development on the local stakeholders, and in particular the Affected Persons (APs). Therefore, a representative sample of 17 APs were interviewed to assess their current situation since the road rehabilitation in their area. The majority considered the impacts of the road as positive including helping their small businesses, whilst two small business owners faced a challenge during construction promoting their business due to road works. The remainder of APs livelihoods in terms of road impacts will be assessed later 2018. There is limited to no livelihoods training opportunities in the area, yet all interviewed APs indicated they would be interested in attending some form of business skills training. HIV/AIDS awareness training is well on track with ICB1 only having one more training to go; while ICB2 have five trainings remaining. To encourage greater gender equality both in the contractor’s workplace as well as within benefits from the rehabilitated road, Gender and Transport Sensitisation Sessions were provided to PMU and SMEC field staff as well as the two contracting companies. This was well received, and a further training was requested and provided to approximately 56 government civil engineer recruits (32 men and 24 women). Anecdotally, the current GRM is operating effectively, however a more comprehensive understanding can be assessed in the next semi-annual report. 1 A BRIEF PROJECT BACKGROUND 1.1 Background 1. The Maubin – Pyapon Road Rehabilitation Project is being implemented as part of the program of the Government of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar to improve access to the densely populated, poor and productive agricultural areas. The Maubin to Pyapon road is the main north-south artery of the eastern side of the Ayeyarwady Delta. It provides a vital link to the economic, health, education and employment opportunities for the resident population. The road rehabilitation will also improve access to the agricultural hinterlands through provision of landing points at numerous locations where waterways meet the road. 2. The Maubin Pyapon road covers approximately 54.5 km and traverses three townships namely Maubin, Kyaiklat and Pyapon. Of the three townships, Maubin is under the Maubin district while Kyaiklat and Pyapon are under the Pyapon District. The two districts lie within the Ayeyarwady Region (Division). 3. The Republic of the Union of Myanmar has received a loan from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) towards the cost of rehabilitation of the Project road. The rehabilitation works on the 54.5 km road is 5 being undertaken under two construction contracts 25.5 Km and 29.0 Km in length. The contracts are delivered using the FIDIC MDB Harmonised Edition, June 2010 Conditions of Contract for Construction. 4. The loan from the ADB also includes the provision of Project Implementation Support (PIS) services to provide capacity building and institutional strengthening to Ministry of Construction (MOC) - Department of Highways and Project Management Unit (PMU). 1.2 Institutional Arrangements 5. The Project’s executing agency is the government’s Ministry of Construction (MOC) and the implementing agency is MOC’s Department of Highways (DOH) and a Project Management Unit (PMU). The MOC-PMU supervises and monitors progress of Project implementation including management of safeguard concerns with the technical assistance and support of the Construction Supervision Consultants (CSC). Implementing resettlement activities is the primary responsibility of the DOH of Maubin and Pyapon districts assisted by a Resettlement Coordinating Committee (RCC)

Myanmar, one of the world’s least developed countries may face accelerating deforestation under an open and democratic political system that desires rapid economic development. This research analyzes the impacts of population growth and economic development on forest areas in Myanmar by using panel data analysis, an econometrics approach based on panel data of forest areas, population, and gross domestic product (GDP) by states and regions in 2005, 2010, and 2015. This research revealed that per capita GDP and population density gave statistically significant negative impacts on forest areas. Using the regression model obtained above, medium population growth projections, and three GDP development scenarios, annual forest areas from 2016 to 2020 were forecast.
