Myanmar is one of the priority countries for Norwegian aid. Main priorities for development cooperation include natural resource management, energy and environment/climate, in addition to a strong emphasis on peace and reconciliation and the political and economic reform process. A Memorandum of Understanding for development cooperation was signed during the official state visit in 2014. Efforts to establish Oil for Development, institutional collaboration related to sustainable hydropower development and bilateral environmental collaboration between Norway and Myanmar are well underway.
Norway aid in Myanmar prioritises on political reform, renewable energy, natural resource management, environment and climate, education, and health. More details are available here.
Norway joins the existing donors of LIFT in 2020 July in line with LIFT’s strategy to mitigate the effects of COVID-19 on livelihoods in Myanmar.
