PORTFOLIO
Tun Naing, Resident Representative
The ongoing Myanmar Agricultural Sector Review project mainly identifies the critical factors affecting pro-poor agricultural growth
and defines investment needs in order to stimulate broad-based agricultural development in Myanmar. The main objective is to address
grassroots community-based activities in an integrated assessment of household living conditions. Both these new initiatives are based
upon recognition of the need to obtain more comprehensive information on the various factors influencing the livelihoods and well
being of people and communities, particularly the rural poor, in order to identify causal factors and options for measures to address
them.
UNDP is assisting Myanmar to strengthen its efforts to meet its Montreal Protocol compliance targets through development of a project
that focuses on the formulation of investment components of the national refrigeration management plan.
