  • (LIFT)/ UNOPS Dry Zone Program Inception Mission 14-30 October
    MYANMAR Livelihoods and Food Security Trust Fund (LIFT)/ UNOPS Dry Zone Program Inception Mission 14-30 October 2013 Aide-mémoire The Inception Mission was the first of a three step process, intended to focus on validation of the proposed program area, and on provision of main sector focus for the program. Accompanied by LIFT FMO team members the mission visited a total of 28 villages in 8 Townships, of which 5 in Mandalay Region (Kyaukpadung, Mingyan, Taungthar, Natogyi and Mahlaing), and 3 in Magway Region (Pauk, Seikphyu, Myaing). The five Mandalay Townships were identified by LIFT on the basis of vulnerability classification carried out by a major JICA pilot project, while the three in Magway were included to look at possible synergies with the 3MDG program operating there. The village visits were based on a semi-structured participatory approach focusing on discussion of a main topics list, but without fixed questions, and allowing the discussion to follow directions raised by the participants. The discussion group-size varied from 50 to about 100 community members, representing formal as well as traditional village leaders (respected elders and government village leaders), Village Development Committees (where formed by NGOs), single purpose interest groups (such as water management associations), Women’s associations, Parent-Teacher Associations, Mother and Child groups, social and religious groups, landowners/farmers, landless people, migrant workers and people with disabilities. At least half of the community members present at the village meetings were women, some representing female-headed households. The main topics covered included agricultural production, rainfall, livestock, credit, markets, migration, food security and household diets, health and education.

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.

Measures Taken or Planned to Combat Desertification 14 6. Consultative Process in Support of National Action Programme 52 with Interested Entities 7. Financial Allocation from the National Budgets 56 8. Monitoring and Evaluation 58 1. Executive Summary 1.1 The main purpose of this report is to update on the situation in Myanmar with regard to measures taken for the implementation of the UNCCD at the national level since its submission of the first national report in August 2000. 1.2 Myanmar acceded to the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) in January 1997. Even before Myanmar’s accession to UNCCD, measures relating to combating desertification have been taken at the local and national levels. In 1994, the Ministry of Forestry (MOF) launched a 3-year "Greening Project for the Nine Critical Districts" of Sagaing, Magway and Mandalay Divisions in the Dry Zone. This was later extended to 13 districts with the creation of new department, the Dry Zone Greening Department (DZGD) in 1997. 1.3 The Government has stepped up its efforts on preventing land degradation and combating desertification in recent years. The most significant effort is the rural area development programme envisaged in the current Third Short-Term Five-Year Plan (2001-2002 to 2005-2006). The rural development programme has laid down 5 main activities.

Recommendation 2 Introduction Water quality is defined as the physical, chemical and biological characteristics of a water body it can be determined by analyzing various physico-chemical parameters and biological parameters in order to check the quality status of water, whether it is suitable for drinking, irrigation or fishing practices. Rivers and lakes are the most important freshwater resources for human , ecosystem and environment. Unfortunately, river water are being polluted by indiscriminate disposal of sewerage, industrial waste and excess of human activities, which affects their physico-chemical characteristics and microbiological quality. Therefore, monitoring of River water quality is necessary on downstream of the confluence of the wastewater into river. 3 Source ; Pearson Benjamin Cummings 4 Ayeyarwaddy Length – 2,170 km drainage basin area -412,650 km2 Annual average discharge - 410 km3/year Navigable length – 1,534 km 5 Agricultural Industrial Bathing Domestic Fishing Transportation 6 Parameters and Frequency Physicochemical Parameters Frequency 1. pH 2.

  • Magway Operational Brief WFP Myanmar
    Magway Operational Brief WFP Myanmar Overview Magway Region with 3.9 million, representing 7 percent of the country’s population, is located in the central part of Myanmar, bordering with Sagaing Region in the north, Mandalay Region in the east, Bago Region in the south and Rakhine and Chin States in the west. Despite largest land area, economically, it is one of the poorest regions in Myanmar due to lack of job and poor infrastructure and services. Moreover, limited access to land, inadequate farming inputs, drought, and scarcity of water and declination of soil fertility also lead to food insecurity of the vulnerable. Rural population accounts for 15 percent of the total in the region. The chronic food insecurity causes migration of the local people and many social and health problems. The chronic poverty and high vulnerability to shocks are widespread throughout the region. A food security, poverty and nutrition survey conducted in 2013 by WFP and Save the Children in the Dry Zone - large part of Magway, Mandalay and lower part of Sagaing Divisions - reported that 26 percent of the people in Dry Zone live below the poverty line and 18 percent is food-insecure. Chronic and acute malnutrition was found to be widespread among children under the age of five with 12 percent acutely malnourished while 27 percent chronically malnourished. In 2003, WFP opened a sub-office in Pakkoku to provide relief food assistance to families, whose breadwinners contracted HIV/TB. The food assistance was provided through the direct support from Fund for HIV/AIDS for Myanmar (FAHM).
