In recent years Myanmar has warmly welcomed a growing number of international Partners in Development (PID), including but not limited to bilateral, multilateral and United Nations (UN) agencies, funds and programmes, development finance institutions, south-south, triangular and regional partners, export credit agencies, international philanthropic organisations, International Non-Government Organisations (INGOs), think-tanks, and abroad range of other international organisations. The Government of Myanmar warmly welcomes these international partners and appreciates the important contribution their assistance continues to make toward the overall, sustainable socio-economic development of Myanmar.
This DAP also presents an overarching policy framework which shall guide the delivery of development assistance, together with clear procedures that streamline the identification, design, negotiation, approval, implementation and evaluation of initiatives funded in part or whole by development assistance. As such, this DAP aims to ensure that development assistance is at all times:
- fully aligned with the Myanmar Sustainable Development Plan 2018-2030 (MSDP), and Sectoral, Ministerial, Sub-National and other Development Plans and Strategies;
- fully supportive of Myanmar’s achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs);
- fully aligned with relevant international conventions to which Myanmar has acceded or ratified, and with other relevant international declarations, accords, and agendas which Myanmar has endorsed;
- increasingly harmonised with Myanmar’s national planning and budgeting processes;
- delivered in ways that are results-driven, innovative, mutually accountable and transparent; and
- delivered in ways that strengthen Myanmar’s human and institutional capacities at all levels.
