Agriculture, Natural Resources, and Environment Initial Sector Assessment, Strategy, and Road Map

This sector assessment, strategy, and road map highlights the Government of Myanmar's plans and strategies for addressing priority needs for the agriculture, natural resources, and environment sector and identifies possible preliminary areas of international assistance. It assesses key sector development needs by analyzing the strengths, constraints and weaknesses, various risks, and potential threats, as well as the opportunities, including further evolving the development partnership with the Asian Development Bank (ADB). This sector assessment, strategy, and road map also provides lessons learned from other countries in the Greater Mekong Subregion, identifying the specific elements that can help Myanmar in its transition from a centrally planned economy to a more market-based system. Hence, ADB's reengagement activities will be focused on developing a conducive environment for the sector's growth.
