These activities are implemented as part of the project, Integrated Water Resources Management – Institutional building and training, hereafter called the IWRM project. The IWRM project is a collaboration between the Norwegian institute for water research (NIVA) and the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environmental Conservation (MONREC). The project which is part of the Norwegian – Myanmar Bilateral Environment Programme, 2015-2018, is funded by the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The project leader at MONREC is U Bo Ni, director of Watershed Management Division, Forest Department, and Researcher Ingrid Nesheim is project leader at NIVA. The steering group has representatives from Forest Department (FD), Irrigation and Water Utilisation Management Department (IWUMD), the Directorate for Water Resources and Improvement of River Systems (DWIR) and NIVA. The project leaders have a close dialogue with the National Water Resources Committee in Myanmar. The development goal of the IWRM project is to make a significant and positive contribution to the implementation and functioning of Integrated Water Resources Management in Myanmar, for inland waters at the national level. The objective is to establish methods and standards for Integrated Water Resources Management and to support initiation of the implementation process. The outputs of the project include 1) training in integrated water resources management (IWRM) and IWRM tools, 2) establishment of water quality criteria, 3) establishment of a water quality laboratory, 4) case study in Sittaung River Basin- introduction of the river Basin management approach, 5) case study in Bago River Basin - performing water management work tasks in a river system, 6) case study in Inle Lake including development of a monitoring programme, 7) database for monitoring and water management and 8) project management and administration. The current report is a deliverable under output 4. Case study in Sittaung River Basin – introduction of the River Basin Management approach. The main purpose of the report is to propose how an administrative approach based on River Basin Management can be implemented in Myanmar. The Sittaung River Basin has been used as an example area to investigate how the basin can be administered according to the IWRM principles of cooperation among the different sectors and the administrative units, including stakeholder involvement. The report has been prepared by Dr. Zaw Lwin Tun (IWUMD), U Bo Ni (FD), Sein Tun (DWIR) and Ingrid Nesheim (NIVA). Daw Hla Oo Nwe (IWUMD) and Daw A Thi Ko (FD) have contributed to the report. An important aim of testing of the implementation of the RBM approach is to create national experience on what works and what are challenging issues. We hope the report can be useful regarding future implementation of the River Basin Management approach at a broader scale in Myanmar. 22 December 2016 Zaw Lwin Tun, Bo Ni, Sein Tun, Ingrid Nesheim NIVA 7103-2016 NIVA 7103-2016 NIVA 7103-2016 Table of contents 1 Introduction ................................................................................................................... 15 2 The Sittaung River Basin ............................................................................................... 17 2.1 Geographic and socio-economic characteristics of the Sittaung River Basin .................... 17 2.2 Administrative governance in the Sittaung River Basin ......................................................... 19 2.3 Union government level and governance of Regions and States ......................................... 20 2.4 Region and State Governments ................................................................................................. 21 2.5 The Bago Region Government .................................................................................................. 22 2.6 District level .................................................................................................................................. 22 2.7 Township level ............................................................................................................................. 23 2.7.1 Village wards and village tracts ..................................................................................... 25 2.7.2 Village ................................................................................................................................ 26 3 The River Basin Management Approach ..................................................................... 27 3.1 Delineation of an administrative Sittaung River Basin Area ................................................. 29 3.2 Delineation of Sub-Basins within the Sittaung River Basin Area ......................................... 32 4 Coordinating units within the River Basin Area .......................................................... 34 4.1 The Sittaung River Basin Area Committee .............................................................................. 35 4.1.1 River Basin authority and secretary functions of the River Basin Area Committee and decision making functions ...................................................................................... 36 4.2 Coordination on Sub-basin Area level ...................................................................................... 37 5 Non-Governmental Stakeholder Group ....................................................................... 39 5.1 Introduction .................................................................................................................................. 39 5.2 Current means of participation in the Sittaung River Basin .................................................. 40 5.3 Two alternative models of participation for preparing a River Basin Management Plan . 40 5.4 Preliminary recommendations on participation ...................................................................... 42 6 Concluding remarks ..................................................................................................... 44 7 References ..................................................................................................................... 45 8 Annex ............................................................................................................................ 47 6 NIVA 7103-2016 Abbreviations ADB Asian Development Bank ARBRO Ayeyarwaddy River Basin Research Organization CSO Civil Society Organization DMH Department of Meteorology and Hydrology DWIR Directorate of Water Resources and Improvement of River Systems ECD Environmental Conservation Department EU WFD European Union Water Framework Directive FRI Forest Research Institute GAD General Administrative Department ITC Irrigation Technology Center IWUMD Irrigation and Water Utilisation Management Department IWRM Integrated Water Resource Management MFA Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Norway) MmWP Myanmar Water Partnership MOAI Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation MOALI Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Irrigation MOECAF Ministry of Environmental Conservation and Forestry (Myanmar) MOEE Ministry

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.
