Introduction and Project Characteristics 1.1 Background Myanmar's power sector has operated satisfactorily for many decades. However, due to lack normal rehabilitation work in the recent years, the network now suffers from overloading, poor reliability and extremely high losses. The Ministry of Electric Power has entered into a Loan agreement with ADB for the development of a project aiming to the provision of Distribution Goods and Services. This project aims for the rehabilitation of existing run-down power distribution networks in the following four (4) areas: 1. Five townships in Yangon region, namely: Hlaingthaya, Insein, Kamayut, Mayangone, and Mingalone; 2. Four districts in Mandalay region, namely: Kyaukse, Meikhtila, Myingyan, and Yameethin; 3. Five districts in Sagaing region, namely: Kalay, Katha, Monywa, Sagaing, and Shwebo; and 4. Two townships in Magway region, namely: Aunglan and Magway. The scope of rehabilitation works within the project includes, among others, the following: 1. Upgrading existing 66/11 kilovolt (kV) and 33/11 kV substations; 2. Replacing existing 33 kV and 11 kV distribution lines; 3. Replacing existing 11/0.4 kV transformers; 4. Replacing existing bare low voltage distribution lines with more efficient aerial bundled conductor (ABC) distribution; and 5. Replacing existing old revenue meters with digital revenue meters. 1.2 Objectives of the Project 1.2.1 Impact and Outcome The impact will be reduced power distribution loss and improved energy efficiency. The outcome will be improved infrastructure to provide reliable and 3 | P a g e sustainable electricity to the selected townships and districts. 1.2.2 Outputs The project outputs will be (i) rehabilitated distribution network in five townships in Yangon region, (ii) rehabilitated distribution network in four districts in Mandalay region, (iii) rehabilitated distribution network in five districts in Sagaing region, and (iv) rehabilitated distribution network in two townships in Magway region. For each project region, support to capacity building will be provided to enhance staff capability in MOEE, YESC, and ESE on rehabilitation and operation of power distribution system, procurement, and financial management during implementation. The rehabilitation works include (i) upgrading existing 66/11 kV and 33/11 kV substations, (ii) replacing existing 33 kV and 11 kV distribution lines, (iii) replacing existing 11/0.4 kV transformers, (iv) replacing existing bare low voltage distribution lines with more efficient aerial-bundled conductor distribution lines, and (v) replacing existing revenue meters with digital revenue meters. 1.3 Environmental, Involuntary Resettlement and Indigenous People Categorization The project has been in the following four safeguard categories as follows: 1.3.1 Environmental Project is classified as Category B for environment. Expected environmental impacts are site-specific, few if any of them are irreversible, and in most cases mitigation measures can be designed. 1.3.2 Involuntary Resettlement For Involuntary Resettlement project is classified as Category C. Meaning it has no involuntary resettlement impacts and no further action is requested. 1.3.3 Indigenous People For Indigenous People project is classified as Category C. Meaning no impact is expected on indigenous people and consequently no further action is requested. 1.4 Project Working Areas During the period, rehabilitation works were performed in the different townships and districts of the four areas above defined. Performed works are described in the following paragraphs. 4 | P a g e 1.4.1 Magway Area This area includes the townships of Magway and Aunglan. Performed works involved distribution network rehabilitation: installation of new Distribution transformers, poles substitution and cable stringing and rehabilitation works in nine (9) substations. The performed works consisted of: • Civil Works: excavation, concrete works and backfilling for the foundations construction in the above-mentioned substations. • Electromechanical Erection Works: line cable stringing, installation of Distribution Transformers and electromechanical erection works in three substations.

    © Lonely Planet Publications 276 Around Mandalay What puts Mandalay on most travellers’ maps looms outside its doors – former capitals with battered stupas and palace walls lost in palm-rimmed rice fields where locals scoot by in slow-moving horse carts. Most of it is easy day-trip potential. In Amarapura, for-hire rowboats drift by a three-quarter-mile teak-pole bridge used by hundreds of monks and fishers carrying their day’s catch home. At the canal-made island capital of Inwa (Ava), a flatbed ferry then a horse cart leads visitors to a handful of ancient sites surrounded by village life. In Mingun – a boat ride up the Ayeyarwady (Irrawaddy) from Mandalay – steps lead up a battered stupa more massive than any other…and yet only a AROUND MANDALAY third finished. At one of Myanmar’s most religious destinations, Sagaing’s temple-studded hills offer room to explore, space to meditate and views of the Ayeyarwady. Further out of town, northwest of Mandalay in Sagaing District, are a couple of towns – real ones, the kind where wide-eyed locals sometimes slip into approving laughter at your mere presence – that require overnight stays. Four hours west of Mandalay, Monywa is near a carnivalesque pagoda and hundreds of cave temples carved from a buddha-shaped moun- tain; further east, Shwebo is further off the travelways, a stupa-filled town where Myanmar’s last dynasty kicked off; nearby is Kyaukmyaung, a riverside town devoted to pottery, where you can snoop about pottery factories.

  • Improvement of Meteorological
    IMPROVEMENT OF METEOROLOGICAL OBSERVATION SYSTEM IN MYANMAR By Hla Tun Office No (5), Ministry of Transport and Communications, Department of Meteorology and Hydrology, Nay Pyi Taw, Myanmar Tel. +95 67 411 250, +95 9 860 1162, Mobile Phone: +95 250 954 642, Fax : (+95) 67 411 526 E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT The Department of Meteorology and Hydrology (DMH) is under the administration of the Ministry of Transport and Communications. Main works performed by DMH are routine observation and analysis of meteorological phenomena, and providing of timely and accurate weather and climate information through acquisition of weather monitoring and dissemination systems for the general public. DMH also provides meteorological and hydrological information for shipping and aviation as well as agricultural and environment activities. Before Cyclonic Storm "Nargis", (103) surface weather observation stations in Myanmar used manual observing system. As at then, we are improved on installation of Automated Weather Observing Systems at 14 stations including at former Headquarter of National Meteorological Center (NMCs) namely Yangon (Kaba-aye) and new Headquarter of National Meteorological Center (NMCs) namely Nay Pyi Taw. Early months of this year (2016), regarding the Grant Aid Project of Japan, we installed additional Surface Automated Weather Observing Systems (AWS) at existing 30 Meteorological observation stations such as Nay Pyi Taw (Early Warning Center), Yangon (Kaba-aye), Mandalay, Putao, Myitkyina, Bhamo, Lashio, Taunggyi, Kengtung, Namsam, Hakha, Hkamti, Kalay, Monywa, Meikhtila, Magway, Sittwe, Kyauk-phyu, Thandwe, Gwa, Taungu, Bago, Hmawbi, Pathein, Laputta, Loikaw, Hpa-an, Mawlamyine, Dawei and Kawthong. Furthermore, one of the three (3) new Doppler Weather Radars, it is already installed in 2015 and remaining two radars we expected to be completed middle of this year and the project will be complete by next year of 2017.

Clarry, Secondary J. Hawksworth, H. Audino, R. Clarry. 2017. The Long View: How will the global economic order change by 2050? Page 1 - 72. Reference ID: 23486 Note: H 8.1.1.5 #23486e Abstract: After a year of major political shocks with the Brexit vote and the election of President Trump, it might seem brave to opine on economic prospects for 2017, let alone 2050. However, I still think it is important to take a longer term view of global economic prospects that looks beyond the short-term ups and downs of the economic and political cycle, which are indeed very difficult to forecast. Instead our approach in this report, based on a rigorous modelling approach, focuses on the fundamental drivers of growth: demographics and productivity, which in turn is driven by technological progress and diffused through international trade and investment. Such forces saw America progress through the 19th and early 20th centuries to become the largest economy in the world despite a civil war, various other conflicts with foreign powers, three presidential assassinations, and numerous economic and financial crises. These forces also helped global economic growth to bounce back strongly from two world wars and a Great Depression to reach record levels in the post-war decades. Looking ahead, we think they will see emerging economies come to dominate the 21st century. By 2050 we project China will be the largest economy in the world by a significant margin, while India could have edged past the US into second place and Indonesia have risen to fourth place.
