Additionally, activities for low-carbonization of industrial zones and was supported. 1. Background of the project Through city to city collaboration between Ayeyarwady Region, Sagaing Region and Fukushima City, "Partnership for Low-Carbon Initiative (with Ayeyarwady region: starting from in 2015, and with Sagaing Region: starting from Aug. 2017)" was established. Under the initiative, workshops were held in Monywa, Sagaing Region and Yangon, in which through discussions on policy trends, current situation and local needs of the region, activities in Fukushima City, and relevant technologies (e.g. waste treatment) were introduced. Possibility for JCM project formulation and collaboration for low-carbon development in waste treatment and renewable energy area was discussed. <Overview of Ayeyarwady Region, Myanmar> Ayeyarwady Region is the largest agricultural area in Myanmar, and the region has been promoting new initiatives in recent years, including the development of new industrial parks (new industrial park in Pathein city, industrial park in Myaunmyau, Maubin industrial park etc.), in order to promote the industrialization of the region. The area is one of the most promising rural regions for future economic development. <Overview of Sagaing Region, Myanmar> Sagaing Region is located in the north western part of Myanmar, with large amount of rice production. Large number of rice mills exist in Shwebo District, located in the eastern part of the region and in the north western part of Mandalay (the second largest city after Yangon), making the district one of the most populated area of rice mills in the region. The quality of rice is higher than that of Ayeyarwady Region; rice mill business management is well done in the area, with construction of new rice mills, expansion and renewable of rice mills expected in the future. The area is one of the rural regions for future economic development. <Overview of Fukushima City> Fukushima City, while putting the utmost importance on the introduction of renewable energy sources through cooperation among the municipal governments, citizens and 1 business operators, has also been engaged in various initiatives and activities such as “creation of a low-carbon, circular-type society with effective global-warming preventive measures and low burden on the environment”, “restoration from nuclear disaster”, “revitalization of local areas” and “promotion of the building of townships resistant to disasters and emergencies”, aiming at making “Fukushima” a vigorous and environmentally most advanced city, based upon well advanced local production and consumption features, as well as safe
