    STUDY ON ECONOMIC PARTNERSHIP PROJECTS IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES IN FISCAL YEAR 2017 STUDY ON YANGON INNER RING ROAD CONSTRUCTION PROJECT IN THE REPUBLIC OF THE UNION OF MYANMAR Final Report February 2018 Prepared for: Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry Prepared by: JFE Engineering Corporation Oriental Consultants Global Co., Ltd. Metropolitan Expressway Company Limited Marubeni Corporation Preface This report is prepared by JFE engineering Corporation, Oriental Consultants Global Co. Ltd., Metropolitan Expressway Company Limited and Marubeni Corporation as the result of “Study on the Economic Partnership Projects in Developing Countries in Fiscal Year 2017” for the Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry. The study presented here is titled “Study on YANGON INNER RING ROAD CONSTRUCTION PROJECT IN THE REPUBLIC OF THE UNION OF MYANMAR”. The project aims to construct 24km long motor way along with its O&M in Yangon, former capital city of Myanmar, by PPP scheme. As in other Asian major cities, in Yangon the number of vehicles has increased sharply with the rapid population increase. As a result, traffic congestion occurs through daytime although it only occurred in the morning and evening commuting time become a big social problem. This survey is to study the countermeasure for this urgent issue and contributes to the development of Yangon. We hope this report will contribute to the realization of the project mentioned above and serve as reference for the related organizations and parties in Japan.

  • Translation of Letter from Mcrb to Pathein Gad Chairman, Dated 29/6/2017
    TRANSLATION OF LETTER FROM MCRB TO PATHEIN GAD CHAIRMAN, DATED 29/6/2017 Thank you very much for arranging to meet us on 20 June 2017 with representatives from Pathein Township government offices including from Ngwesaung and Chaungtha to discuss the letters which we submitted to the State Counsellor’s Office and Anti-Corruption Commission on apparently unofficial payments for beach sand mining. We welcomed the opportunity to be able to present the longer-term erosion effects of beach sand mining to your team, as well as the safety issues of using it in construction. We also welcomed the opportunity to share our experiences of how this issue is being addressed elsewhere in Myanmar, including Ngapali, and the weaknesses in the legal and governance framework. We were interested to hear from Ngwesaung township officials, including on what local people felt about taking sand from the beaches. We recognise, in the issues they raised, some very similar issues to the ones we have observed in Ngapali. This includes perceptions of local Ngwesaung people that they are not benefitting economically from tourism, and that companies from outside the area have, in the past, been able to obtain land, and use sand from the beach for construction of resorts. Very similar views were expressed in Ngapali. MCRB through its Sector Wide Impact Assessment on tourism, and subsequent advocacy, has always emphasized the need for local community involvement in, and benefit from tourism, through ownership of small businesses, including small guesthouses, and participation in the tourism value chain. We recently co-hosted the 2nd Conference on Communities and Tourism in Naypyidaw which brought together a number of community tourism initiatives to connect with the market, share experiences and learn from one another.
