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.

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.

  • PACT Diesel Minigrid Study10
    Enabling Electricity Access in Myanmar Diesel Mini Grid Assessment, november 2016 U Kyaw Thu comes home at 6pm a2er spending the day at his farm growing lenls and sesame. A diesel engine starts growling in the background and the street lamps light up. Some of his friends and neighbors switch on their television sets while the children open their books to make best use of these 2 hours before the village plunges into darkness. Aer 9pm, while the village prepares to sleep and the diesel engine stops, children light up candles in their homes to study for another few hours so that they do not have to spend their lives being farmers in this darkness of these villages in Myanmar. Through this assessment, Pact Myanmar seeks to understand the struggle, needs, ingenuity and outlook of villagers seeking to gain access to electricity in Myanmar and who have established diesel mini grids in their villages. We explore U Kyaw Thu’s village, Kone, which lies in Seikphyu Towhship and another 9 villages in Magway Region to understand how the village community has collaborated to establish basic electrifica:on and whether there could be ways to improve the systems and provide electricity for not only ligh:ng but also produc:ve use, which could accelerate the overall village development. Mandalay Yoma About Pact Myanmar Pact Myanmar’s programming aims to fundamentally improve people’s lives to affect positive material impact on Myanmar’s development. We do this by operating simultaneously at scale and at the village level to maximize impact. We believe passionately in community involvement in designing solutions to everyday problems.

This is the first Census in 30 years; the last was conducted in 1983. Planning and execution of this Census was spearheaded by the former Ministry of Immigration and Population, now the Ministry of Labour, Immigration and Population, on behalf of the Government in accordance with the Population and Housing Census Law, 2013. The main objective of the 2014 Census was to provide the Government and other stakeholders with essential information on the population, in regard to demographic, social and economic characteristics, housing conditions and household amenities. By generating information at all administrative levels, it was also intended to provide a sound basis for evidence-based decision-making and to evaluate the impact of social and economic policies and programmes in the country. The results of the 2014 Census have been published so far in a number of volumes. The first was the Provisional Results (Census Report Volume 1), released in August 2014.
