FAO Country Programming Framework for Myanmar 2017-2022 1

Introduction 1. The Myanmar Country Programming Framework (CPF) outlines the priority areas of FAO support to and partnership with the Government of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar (GoRUM) in the six-year period from 2017 to 2022. The CPF will contribute to achieving government strategies and policies, respond to specific needs of Myanmar by focussing on government priority areas and guide FAO’s technical assistance to the Government. It does not prescribe a rigid framework; rather, the CPF can be revisited and changed when required according to government priorities during the period. 2. In formulating the CPF, FAO reviewed a series of international, national and FAO’s organizational strategies and polices. These include among others, the 2030 Agenda and Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), Paris Agreement, Sendai Framework, Myanmar Agricultural Development Strategy (ADS), National Land Use Policy, Climate Change Strategy and Action Plan (2016-2030), Myanmar Action Plan for Disaster Risk Reduction, National One Health Strategy, Myanmar Agricultural Statistics for 2016 -2017, National Biodiversity Strategy and Action-Plan, the Myanmar UN Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF 2018 - 2022), FAO Strategic Objectives and FAO Regional Priorities and Initiatives. 3. The CPF was prepared based on intensive consultations and agreement with the Foreign Economic Relations Department (FERD) and relevant line ministries, Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), the private sector and other development partners.

FAO in Myanmar


I.

Country Context

and Priorities

4. As the second largest country in Southeast Asia, Myanmar is one of the countries with the lowest population density in the region consisting of diverse ethnic groups. Despite economic growth, increase in disposable incomes and attainment of national food self-sufficiency in some major staple crops, poverty remains substantial with 25.6 percent of the population still below the national poverty line. The rate is twice as high in rural areas where 70 percent of the population lives and largely relies on agriculture and casual employment for their livelihoods. Myanmar has the second highest rate of infant and child mortality among ASEAN countries and various forms of malnutrition continue to persist especially among children: 29 percent of children under five years old are stunted; 7 percent of children suffer from wasting; and 19 percent are underweight (DHS2015). Due to diverse agro-ecological zones and cultures, the causes of these high figures are multiple and complex. Inadequate agricultural productivity and diversity, low household incomes, poor food safety, land tenure and governance issues, lack of access to clean water, and lack of knowledge and awareness remain key constraints for improving the food security and nutrition situation in Myanmar. 5. Myanmar possesses rich biodiversity and diverse ecosystems and is known for its wealth of natural resources including minerals, fuel, gems, timber and forest products and water. However, the country is facing critical challenges including land degradation, deforestation and climate change threats. Forests cover 44.2 percent of total land area and provide three quarters of the population with wood and non-wood forest products besides being an important part of the national ecosystem. Despite the existence of legal instruments, policies and relevant targets, Myanmar had the third largest forest loss by area in the world between 2010 and 2015 (FAO, 2015a) as deforestation and land degradation continue to be serious issues. Fisheries sector is the fourth largest contributor to GDP in the past five years and employs more than 3 million people. Its uncontrolled expansion and illegal fishing have put the sector under heavy stress and possibly over-exploited natural resources. Surface water from rivers and storage reservoirs is plentiful in Myanmar. However, sparse infrastructure and pumping high costs


constrain people’s access to it, accompanied by high variability in water resources, increas-ingly unpredictable rainfall and insufficient capacity to manage this variability. 6. Myanmar is highly prone to natural disasters and has experienced several significant disasters in the last 10 years. Provision of humanitarian support to the country remains a key priority also in the context of ongoing religious and ethnic dissension, extreme weather events and climate change, all of which lead to large-scale migration. According to the Global Climate Risk Index 2017, Myanmar ranks among the top three countries most affected by weather related events, which has led to massive displacement of people and the destruction of livelihoods, crops and other food sources. Agriculture sectors are particularly vulnerable, already absorbing up to 30 percent of loss and damage on average. However, the existing national and local authorities still have relatively low capacities in disaster risk management to address the increasing exposure and vulnerability of rural inhabitants to these human induced and weather or climate related disasters. Myanmar is also vulnerable to transboundary animal disease (TAD) emergencies that affect livelihoods and food security. More insidious and slow-onset disasters are also a threat, such as zoonotic emerging infectious diseases (EID) and antimicrobial resistance (AMR).

7. Myanmar has embarked on a historic path of political and economic transformation and reform. After enduring seven decades of civil war, underdevelopment and social and political stagnation, in April 2016 the National League for Democracy (NLD) formed the first civilian government and launched new country development policies and planning using the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a framework. The 21st Century Panglong Peace Conference offers a potential opportunity for all actors to work together to advance sustainable peace, inclusive and equitable development benefiting all people (regardless of status) and the wider consolidation of the democratic reform process, as sought by the people of Myanmar.


8. The formulation of the CPF is closely aligned with the main priority areas of the Government’s social, economic and environmental development strategies and plans. Building upon the three strategic pillars of the ADS (namely governance, productivity and competitiveness) and with respect to all people’s rights regardless of religious or ethnic status, FAO will continue its support to ensuring an inclusive smallholder based transformation of the agricultural sector. This includes achievement of long term goals of increased food and nutrition security, poverty reduction, agricultural trade competitiveness, higher and more equitable incomes for rural households and strengthened farmers’ rights. To contribute to the achievement of sustainable natural resources management, FAO will also focus on strengthening the Government’s systematic and institutional capacity in planning and managing the natural resources and biodiversity ecosystem, ocean space management and creating the conditions needed for economic and ecological sustainability and prosperity. In addition, support will also be provided on resilience building by adapting to and mitigating the effects of climate change, enhancing capacity building at all levels, effective collaboration arrangements in affected areas, and access to appropriate technology to promote climate resilient and low carbon development pathways as well as refine and scale renewable energy models that will benefit all people. 9. FAO’s future interventions under the CPF for Myanmar (2017-2022) will therefore focus on three priority areas. They will contribute to the achievement of national outcomes, including a. enhanced food security, nutrition and food safety; b. strengthened governance and sustainable management of land, forests, water resources and ecosystems; and c. enhanced resilience of local communities and farming households to natural and humanitarian disasters, climate change and transboundary and emerging infectious disease risks. These outcomes were identified taking into consideration the Evaluation of FAO’s Contribution to Myanmar Country Programme (2011-2016) recommendations, the national development priorities and are aligned with FAO global and regional strategic priorities as well as those under UNDAF.

II.

FAO’s Contribution

and

Expected Results


10. FAO will support the formulation and monitoring of sectoral and multi-sectoral policies and plans, strengthening of capacities and institutional mechanisms, and mobilization of resources to implement them. It will focus on outputs that will support the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Irrigation (MOALI) to implement the three ADS strategic pillars. The key expected outputs for improved food security and nutrition are better monitoring systems for agriculture and policies such as for livestock largely based on the national census, the Agriculture Extension Modernization Strategy, the costing of a national nutrition action plan and the alignment of land legislation with the National Land Use Policy. 11. Strengthening Government institutions’ capacities to assure food safety across the food chain will be emphasized. FAO will support the Government to convene relevant stakeholders in food safety to formulate a policy, action plan and rules and regulations to support food safety legislation. Technical capacity in areas of risk-based inspection, monitoring, surveillance, analysis will be strengthened. To encourage private sector innovation and participation in food safety, the development of voluntary standards and certification schemes, food safety training and dissemination of good practices (GMP, GHP, HAACP and others) across the food chain will be supported. Partnerships with CSOs, NGOs and their networks for consumer awareness activities will be established. 12. FAO will work with agricultural extension services to promote Good Agriculture Practices (GAP) across the food chain and healthy dietary habits at household level, through improved service delivery. FAO will also support the adoption and scaling up of sustainable and innovative production practices and technologies to benefit the smallholder farmers. It will also strengthen the capacity of township and village-level field staff to improve nutrition awareness, particularly dietary diversity, as well as that of veterinary, fishery and aquaculture services. 13. FAO’s interventions will also aim to empower farmers and their organizations as a means to promote pro-poor, gender-sensitive, inclusive and sustainable value chains. In order to do so, FAO will support producer groups and the equitable participation of the actors including women and men, along the value chain and bolster partnerships between producer groups and buyers.

Priority A: Enhanced food security, nutrition and food safety


14. FAO’s support will focus on strengthening inclusive national capacities on sustainable natural resource management for land, forestry, water, biodiversity and marine ecosystems. Activities will be organized in promoting governance, policy and strategy formulation as well as development of community and ecosystem services using relevant toolkits including voluntary guidelines like VGGT. FAO will support the Government and other stakeholders to enhance regulatory frameworks through effective coordination, strengthened tenure arrangements and improved capacity. 15. FAO’s technical assistance with regard to water resources will prioritise improving capacities in water accounting and auditing to underpin evidence-based improvements in water policy and practice. These improvements will aim towards increasing access to water (via rainwater harvesting); enhancing agricultural water productivity, improving irrigation system performance, improving groundwater management and governance. 16. FAO will support the establishment and functioning of the National Forest Inventory (NFI) and National Forest Monitoring Information System (NFMIS) that will assist the country in the area of forest governance and reduce deforestation and forest degradation aimed for climate change mitigation. In order to reduce Green House Gas (GHG) emission, technical assistance in livestock system improvement and climate smart agriculture will be provided through policy support and implementation of good practices, under the framework and principals of Paris Agreement and Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC).

Priority B: Strengthened governance and sustainable

management of land, forests, water resources and ecosystems


Priority C: Enhanced resilience of local communities and farming households to natural and humanitarian disasters, climate change

and transboundary and emerging infectious disease risks

17. To assist Myanmar in shifting from reactive disaster management to proactive disaster risk reduction (DRR) and climate change adaptation (CCA), FAO will support the implementation of Agriculture Action Plan for Disaster Risk Reduction (AAPDRR) projects and programmes in line with Myanmar Action Plan for Disaster Risk Reduction (MAPDRR). FAO will also promote the adaptation and application of existing cross-sectoral policies and regulatory frameworks for DRR and CCA as well as support strengthening of institutional and technical delivery capacities at national and sub-national levels in agriculture and its sub-sectors. 18. FAO will continue to provide support to detect, prevent and control transboundary animal diseases (TAD), emerging infectious diseases (EID) and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) through a One Health approach, in cooperation with the World Health Organization, the Ministry of Health and Sports and the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environmental Conservation. Furthermore, continuous support will be provided for progressive improvement of Government capacity in veterinary laboratory proficiency and epidemiology in accordance with the Government’s One Health Strategy and AMR National Action Plan. Support to the Zoonotic disease emergency contingency planning will continue. 19. FAO will also support improving agro-climatic information and early warning systems to prevent and reduce disaster impacts and trigger actions in managing disasters as well as to reduce other food chain risks and climate change impact. In addition, through the information dissemination and early warning messages, FAO will enhance planning, decision-making, and resilience programming within the agriculture sector tailored to the needs of farming communities.


20. FAO technical assistance will work to reduce vulnerabilities of rural households and communities, regardless of ethnicity or religion, whether human induced, climate or weather related disasters, through Community-based Disaster Risk Reduction and Adaptation approaches and social protection measures. It will focus particularly on areas where high poverty rates, high levels of malnutrition and poor access to education and health systems exacerbate the impact of various types of disasters on the most vulnerable, including women, children and youth. 21. With the aim to strengthen national capacities and coordination mechanisms for emergency preparedness, response and recovery/reconstruction to disasters and crises, FAO will also implement emergency response and recovery programs as/when needed and requested. It will also promote Building Back Better principles that incorporate risk reduction and adaptation measures in transitioning from rehabilitation to sustainable development.

General considerations and cross cutting issues 22. As recommended by the Evaluation of FAO’s Contribution to Myanmar Country Programme (2011-16), FAO will ensure adequate integration of the cross-cutting issues (capacity development, gender equality and other equity issues, climate change, One Health, etc.) into project design and implementation. While One Health and Climate Change have been addressed inclusively throughout the three selected priorities of the CPF, particular emphasis will be given to the following areas to maximize FAO’s interventions:

Capacity development. FAO will strategize its work with the aim to empower target beneficiaries of all communities and organizations based on an accurate capacity needs assessment. For this, FAO will leverage the capacity developed through earlier efforts and of its partner organizations in specific areas.


Gender equity and equality. The Country Gender Assessment (FAO 2015) highlighted the fact that women particularly in rural area are more engaged in agriculture than in any other sector of Myanmar’s economy. In general, Myanmar is committed to women’s rights however, culturally influenced views and negative stereotypes regarding ‘appropriate’ gender roles, perceived capacities and dependent status of women persists. All the above constructs and perpetuate direct and indirect barriers to women’s inclusion in policies and programmes. FAO will promote gender equity and equality and will empower and strengthen women in economic development as equal stakeholders in decision-making.

Ethnic group rights. Where the work described in the CPF involves ethnic groups,

their rights will be fully respected. FAO will apply the Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) approach to enable ethnic groups’ right to give or withhold consent to a project that may affect them.

III.

Implementation,

Monitoring and

Reporting

Arrangements

23. The implementation of the FAO Myanmar CPF (2017-2022) will require an estimated amount of USD 71 750 000. To date USD 33 380 000 has already been mobilized; and an amount of USD 38 120 000 is expected to be mobilized from a range of bilateral and multilateral sources as well as FAO’s own fund of Technical Cooperation Programme (TCP). The latter is used mainly as a catalytic resource to scale-up good practices demonstrated through pilot projects with GoRUM and other resource partners, and for targeted policy advice and/or programme development. During the implementation, FAO experts will be deployed to deliver project outcomes. FAO will also draw on technical resources that are available at its Headquarters and Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific to respond to specific and/or time-bound requests from Government and to supervise projects. 24. For the successful implementation of the CPF, major alliances with key stakeholders are crucial. Partnerships are at the heart of FAO’s mission. FAO will explore and enhance strategic partnerships particularly with non-state actors including CSOs and private sector, in alignment with the joint efforts of the GoRUM and the development partners for enhanced coordination and aid effectiveness. The GoRUM and FAO will seek collaboration

In consultation with the Government of the Union of Myanmar (GoRUM), the United Nations is in the process of preparing the United Nations Development Assistance Framework (2018–2022). UNDAF (2018-2022) has been framed in terms of partnering with the Government and people of Myanmar to navigate through the early part of a transition leading to the country’s accomplishment of the 2030 Agenda as articulated through the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and their targets. The UNDAF identifies four Focus Areas through which the programmes and activities of the constituent agencies will be channelled, namely: PEOPLE, PROSPERITY, PLANET and PEACE; with PARTNERSHIP being the underlying foundational base that anchors and synergises the Focus Areas and the programmes and activities of the constituent UN agencies (Diagram 2.1).
