The scope of the project includes capacity building of health care providers; expansion of the coverage of NCD prevention and control services; strengthening diagnostic capacity with modern equipment, medicine and medical equipment; and establishment of sustainable and effective supply chain system. Health promotion and protection of the communities against major risk factors of NCD will be undertaken by controlling consumption of tobacco and tobacco products, alcohol and unhealthy food; and promoting physical activity. This project will also attempt to promote healthy lifestyle among school children so they will grow up to be healthy and productive citizens. Screening of preventable cancers is also part of the project activities. NCD prevention and control can enable elderly people to lead healthier and active lives. Screening and early detection of breast cancer and cervical cancer would allow women to live long healthy lives. In addition, control of consumption of tobacco and tobacco products can significantly contribute to protection of environment, socio-economic development and poverty reduction. All planned activities of the proposed project can help achieve Sustainable Development Goal 3 (Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages) and Myanmar Sustainable Development Plan’s action plan 4.2.9 focusing on “control and combat non-communicable diseases”." "The project will produce better trained health care providers, expand coverage of NCD screening and treatment services, establish effective supply chain management system for sustainable supply of essential medicines, and reduce NCD risk factors. Moreover, it will reduce premature mortality from NCD; and prevent occurrence of NCD among citizens by controlling consumption of tobacco, tobacco products and unsafe food, and promoting physical activity. Premature deaths due to NCDs can reduce labor productivity and consequently hinder socio-economic development of the country. The project will also enable the Government to save and devote large portion of Government health expenditures allocated for NCD treatment to other developmental projects. It will also create employment opportunities."

The scope of works for Phase 1 will include construction of 12 new garment related factories, knitting fabric factories, dyeing and printing factories, and down and feather factories; and residential buildings for employees. Eight of these factories will be located at No.3 Textile Factory Branch (Sagaing) while the remaining four factories, including a waste water treatment system, thermal power plant, will be established at No.3 Textile Factory (Sagaing). The scope of works for Phase 2 will include construction of five garment related factories, embroidery factory, carton factory, and polyester wadding factory at No.3 Textile Factory (Sagaing).

Following expiration of its initial 20-year term, it could be extended twice for a further term of five years for each renewal." "The project has the potential to make an important contribution to Myanmar’s economic development through job creation and income generation. It is expected that 20,000 new job opportunities will be generated. It will also benefit stakeholders across the textile value chain (small and medium sized enterprises, employees, fashion designers) by making available locally produced raw materials for textile and garment sectors, and creating entrepreneurial opportunities. It is anticipated that the imported volume of raw materials across the textile value chain will be reduced and export earnings using locally made raw materials will be increased. Establishment of a textile-based industry cluster will reduce transportation cost; enable use a common infrastructure, resource and labour pool advantage; and speed up the learning process leading to an internationally competitive and commercially sustainable textile industry. Currently, the textile factories are spread across Myanmar. Myanmar is a country with a rich textile history. However, in the past few decades, a mix of structural, infrastructure and policy challenges have limited growth across the textile value chain. Currently, manufacturers in Myanmar are operating on a cut, make, and pack (CMP) production system in which producers have no involvement in the design and/or input sourcing processes. Myanmar intends to transform from this CMP to freight–on-board (FoB) basis, where international buyers pay Myanmar’s garment factories for the full value of the completed garments as they are loaded “on board” shipping vehicles. This puts Myanmar in a stronger negotiating position to capture more margins for the country, thus, increasing opportunities for factories to provide better employment terms to workers."

However, our forests are being depleted at alarming rates. Furthermore, while the forestry sector plays an essential role in the development and economic transformation of our country, over the years extractive operations have become more intensive, and forest resources have been utilized unsustainably. The establishment of a National Forest Inventory and National Forest Monitoring and Information System is therefore essential for informed decision-making, and to communicate and demonstrate delivery of public services based on up-to-date evidence. The objective of the project is to support the Government of Myanmar in developing a globally relevant approach to National Forest Inventory (NFI) and National Forest Monitoring and Information Systems (NFMIS) explicitly within the framework of a Human-Rights Based Approach (HRBA) and conflict sensitivity. This project will establish the capacity in Myanmar to develop updated reports on the state of the forests and this will contribute to evidence based strategy and policy planning in forestry sector. A package of safeguard instruments will be established with the consultation of different stakeholders and institutionalized into country level actions through an open access based data sharing policy development of a stakeholder engagement and communication plan that includes how to communicate grievances and approaches for their resolution, with linkage to the Myanmar REDD+ Safeguard Information System." The project is expected to contribute to “benefits for all people of Myanmar from improved climate resilience through sustainable forest management” and to a certain extent, also indirectly to “improving benefits from democratic governance”. The reliable data and information through the participatory and inclusive planning approaches will be used for the natural resource related governance system, and additionally, the transparent policies for information and data-sharing will be developed in the framework of the NFI-NFMIS.

Feasibility study is being conducted for the remaining sections of Bago-Phyuu-Naypyitaw-Meikhtila-Mandalay of 524 kilometers. Being currently the most important route in Myanmar, the project aims to improve transport connectivity for road users along the northern hub of Mandalay and the southern economic hub of Yangon. The project is expected to have nationwide impact as the expressway is the bloodline of Myanmar transport network." The road serves as a major access road with China and India by functioning as the Asian Highway 1 (AH1) of the Asian Highway network. By having an access to international highways like AH1 and Greater Mekong Subregion, it is expected to play a key role in connecting international logistics with Thailand and Vietnam to inland Myanmar. The project is also expected to reduce traffic accidents and enhance driving comfort through rehabilitation of damaged pavement, installation of road safety facilities and improvement of geometric alignment.

Government budget has been used for regular technical maintenance since 2017, including replacement of welded rail and refilling ballast with tamping machine. Trains on the Mandalay–Myitkyina route experience serious delays due to bottlenecks where track capacity is restricted and track and operating conditions are difficult. Two bottleneck sections, Gyohtaung-Me`za section and Mawhan-Kardu section, are located in mountainous areas with sharp curves and steep gradient. The 547-kilometer Mandalay-Myitkyina Railways was constructed in 1889 and completed in 1898. Railway tracks, embankments and bridges have deteriorated in the absence of major rehabilitation works since its completion in 1898. Train speed cannot be increased due to unreliable train schedules, insufficient and inadequate maintenance works for railways, and weaknesses of locomotives and cars." The project is expected to facilitate cost-effective and efficient passenger and freight transportation. Train travel from Mandalay to Myitkyina will be reduced from 19 hours to 14 hours. It will also provide safe and comfortable public transport service to people from Kachin State. Other benefits include enhanced passenger service reliability and frequency, and reduction in greenhouse gas emission. It will also promote economic and social development of northern Myanmar.

The first 64 km from Yangon to Bago is expected to be rehabilitated with ADB assistance. Feasibility study is being conducted for the remaining sections of Bago-Phyuu-Naypyitaw-Meikhtila-Mandalay of 524 kilometers. Being currently the most important route in Myanmar, the project aims to improve transport connectivity for road users along the northern hub of Mandalay and the southern economic hub of Yangon. The project is expected to have nationwide impact as the expressway is the bloodline of Myanmar transport network." The road serves as a major access road with China and India by functioning as the Asian Highway 1 (AH1) of the Asian Highway network. By having an access to international highways like AH1 and Greater Mekong Subregion, it is expected to play a key role in connecting international logistics with Thailand and Vietnam to inland Myanmar.

Government budget has been used for regular technical maintenance since 2017, including replacement of welded rail and refilling ballast with tamping machine. Trains on the Mandalay–Myitkyina route experience serious delays due to bottlenecks where track capacity is restricted and track and operating conditions are difficult. Two bottleneck sections, Gyohtaung-Me`za section and Mawhan-Kardu section, are located in mountainous areas with sharp curves and steep gradient. The 547-kilometer Mandalay-Myitkyina Railways was constructed in 1889 and completed in 1898. Railway tracks, embankments and bridges have deteriorated in the absence of major rehabilitation works since its completion in 1898. Train speed cannot be increased due to unreliable train schedules, insufficient and inadequate maintenance works for railways, and weaknesses of locomotives and cars." The project is expected to facilitate cost-effective and efficient passenger and freight transportation. Train travel from Mandalay to Myitkyina will be reduced from 19 hours to 14 hours. It will also provide safe and comfortable public transport service to people from Kachin State. Other benefits include enhanced passenger service reliability and frequency, and reduction in greenhouse gas emission. It will also promote economic and social development of northern Myanmar.

Government budget has been used for regular technical maintenance since 2017, including replacement of welded rail and refilling ballast with tamping machine. Trains on the Mandalay–Myitkyina route experience serious delays due to bottlenecks where track capacity is restricted and track and operating conditions are difficult. Two bottleneck sections, Gyohtaung-Me`za section and Mawhan-Kardu section, are located in mountainous areas with sharp curves and steep gradient. The 547-kilometer Mandalay-Myitkyina Railways was constructed in 1889 and completed in 1898. Railway tracks, embankments and bridges have deteriorated in the absence of major rehabilitation works since its completion in 1898. Train speed cannot be increased due to unreliable train schedules, insufficient and inadequate maintenance works for railways, and weaknesses of locomotives and cars." The project is expected to facilitate cost-effective and efficient passenger and freight transportation. Train travel from Mandalay to Myitkyina will be reduced from 19 hours to 14 hours. It will also provide safe and comfortable public transport service to people from Kachin State. Other benefits include enhanced passenger service reliability and frequency, and reduction in greenhouse gas emission. It will also promote economic and social development of northern Myanmar.

The construction of the coastal road will facilitate transport of agricultural and fisheries products from Ayeyarwady Region and other neighbouring regions to all over the world through the Asian and ASEAN Highways." The coastal road will facilitate increased mobility for goods and people of Ayeyarwady Region and Rakhine State. It will reduce travel time between Ayeyarwady Region and Rakhine State and enable beach-to-beach travel between Myanmar’s famous beaches. It will also enhance accessibility of the rural people to social services, such as health and education and economic opportunities. Widening market linkages and access to livelihood activities will support economic development and improve living standards.

It includes a new 2.0 -km bridge across the Sittaung River proposed to be financed by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). This 4-lane asphalt concrete highway with 3.5-meter wide carriageway, 2.5-meter wide median and 2.5-meter wide shoulder each side will provide easier access to Thilawa Special Economic Zone near Yangon. The GMS road corridors are the backbone of Myanmar transport system. The EWEC connects Thailand with Yangon and its special economic zone of Thilawa, and then onwards to Pathein, the capital of the Ayeyarwaddy delta. Improvements to the EWEC corridor will reduce national transport costs and improve regional connectivity with Thailand, and onwards to the GMS region. While the Thailand, Laos PDR and Vietnam sections of the corridor have been completed to high standards and border facilities improved, the GMS EWEC road corridor in Myanmar has only two lanes, with pavement in fair to poor condition and road safety features generally missing. Moreover, the Myanmar segment of the GMS EWEC has long alignment, crosses urban areas, and has low standards making it unsafe for speed higher than 40-60 kilometers per hour. The proposed project will have three major outputs: 1. new Bago-Kyaikto Expressway; 2. enhanced capacity of Ministry of Construction (MOC) staff on expressway management; and 3. improved road safety for the Bago-Kyaikto Corridor." The project will facilitate more efficient and safer movement of goods and people within Bago Region, Mon State and Yangon Region by reducing travel time, shortening travel distance, minimizing transport costs and improving regional connectivity with Thailand and other GMS regions. This in turn will support economic development, regional economic growth, and international industrial competitiveness.

The project also involves the establishment of a Central Provident Fund, development of IT- based infrastructure and defining the role of the pension organization. Currently, the Central Provident Fund system will cover the public sector as priority. But in future, it will extend to the private sector. The project is expected to reduce budget deficit since the new pension system would allow investment of pension funds, thereby enabling opportunities for obtaining investment returns to meet growing pension needs. Enhancing the pension system will help improve the lives of retirees.

Mechanical equipment handling will be introduced to enable quick processing of heavy cargo that could not be handled by conventional manpower handling. The port will be built on 8.1 hectares of land located one kilometre west of Mandalay City, behind the city’s circular road and Shwe Lone Bo Monastery. It is aimed at improving trade and transportation along inland waterways. Years of underinvestment have reduced effectiveness of Myanmar’s inland port system. Modernization of inland port infrastructure will be essential to facilitate increased cargo flows along the Ayeyarwady River. Although trade is conducted with other cities via water routes from Mandalay, loading and unloading of cargo along the river is still being done manually rather than by machine due to lack of modern equipment in existing port facilities along the Ayeyarwady River. Mandalay's strategic location in Central Myanmar makes it an important hub for transport of people and goods. The city is connected to other parts of the country and to China and India through multiple modes of transportation." The project will facilitate effective and safe cargo handling, improve quality and efficiency of transportation by introducing palletized and containerized cargo, and create new inland transport businesses. It will likewise reduce transportation cost, which would then trigger greater export of local products. The project is also expected to have ripple effect on other local river ports (i.e. local river ports will be similarly developed as the Mandalay Port).

Existing port facilities in Bhamo City along the Ayeyarwaddy River are manual and could not handle big cargo because of lack of modern equipment. Given increasing population, and economic development of Kachin State and the surrounding areas, an efficiently managed inland port with modern equipment and machinery will be essential to facilitate large amount of cargo flow. Use of mechanical equipment and introduction of palletized cargo and containerized cargo system will facilitate efficient and cost-effective cargo handling. Bhamo is a city along the Ayeyarwady River in Kachin State at the northernmost part of Myanmar located 186 kilometers (km) south of Myitkyina, the capital city of Kachin State. It lies within 65 km of the border with Yunnan Province, China. Its population consists of Chinese, Shan and Kachin. It is the administrative center of Bhamo District and Bhamo Township." "The project is expected to have a vital role in the economic development of the country considering that waterway transportation is the cheapest mode of transportation in the country. It will promote efficient cargo handling and containerization, facilitate inland water transport which has lower greenhouse gas emission per unit of transport volume than that of road transport, create job opportunities for local people, and enhance competitiveness of economic zones and industrial zones in the area. It will also facilitate lower consumer prices of goods due to reduced transport cost of cargo switching from road to river; savings in idle vessel time at berths with faster loading and unloading; and savings in loss and damage to cargo. The development of Bhamo Inland Port will benefit the people along the Ayeyarwady River especially those in Kachin State. People from Mandalay, Yangon, Bago and Sagaing will also benefit from containerized shipping. Efficient and cost-effective cargo transportation to other areas in the country will further reform the trade sector, and will strengthen regional and international cooperation and linkages."

It involves dredging, using riverbank training structures and stabilizing banks to make the main flow of water become concentrated and maintain an increased depth through natural erosion. Ayeyarwady River is the most important commercial waterway in Myanmar, running through the center of the country. It is about 1,534 kilometers long starting from Bhamo in Kachin State to Nyaungdon in Ayeyarwady Region. It is navigable along most of its length and all seasons. However in dry season, cargo boats need to reduce their cargo by 50% due to shallow water depth." The project will provide safer, sustainable and more reliable transportation along the Ayeyarwady River.

It aims to develop a year-round, safe and reliable river transport system; increase safety level and standard; increase channel depth to enable the use of vessels with deeper draughts throughout the year, facilitate navigation to enable higher vessel speeds and navigable hours (such as night navigation), improve river port efficiency to enable faster throughput of cargoes, and facilitate shipbuilding technology transfer. While Chindwin River has been a major passenger and cargo mode of transportation, it has been difficult to navigate because of shallow waters during the dry season, shifting navigation channels, and lack of terminal facilities. These conditions constrained the use of larger vessels, confined navigation to daylight hours and led unsafe smaller vessels to fill the gap." The project is expected to address safety issues attributable to use of smaller unsafe vessels, minimize loss of cargo, and avoid embarkation and disembarkation directly at the riverbank without port facilities and jetties. It will benefit primarily the passengers from villages and townships situated along the Chindwin River by enabling vessels with one meter draft to operate year round, developing a river transportation system that can sail day and night, operating nine safe and modern fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) catamaran new vessels, and securing passengers' lives and properties. It will also transfer FRP construction technology to the Inland Water Transport.

The Ayeyarwady River is the largest river in Myanmar and is considered a major transportation system in Magway Region both in terms of volume of goods and population served. The development of Magway Inland Port aims to improve efficiency in transportation, facilitate effective cargo handling with mechanical loading equipment, and activate new transport demand and inland transport business. Currently, Magway Inland Port has manual facilities and could not handle large cargo because of lack of modern equipment. Given increasing population, and economic development of Magway Division and the surrounding areas, an inland port with modern equipment and machinery will be needed to facilitate large amount of cargo flow. Use of mechanical equipment and introduction of palletized cargo and containerized cargo system will facilitate efficient and cost-effective cargo handling." "The project will play a vital role in economic development of the country by promoting efficient cargo handling and containerization, supporting facilitation of inland water transport which has lower greenhouse gas emission per unit of transport volume than that of road transport, creating job opportunities for local people, and enhancing competitiveness of economic zones and industrial zones in the area. It will also facilitate lower consumer prices of goods due to reduced cost of transport for cargo switching from road to river; savings in idle vessel time at berths with faster loading and unloading; savings in loss and damage to cargo; and safer and more reliable cargo handling. The development of Magway Inland Port will benefit the people along the Ayeyarwady River especially those in Magway Division. People from Mandalay, Yangon, Chin, Bago and Sagaing will also benefit from containerized shipping upon completion of this project. Efficient and cost-effective cargo transportation to other areas in the country will further reform the trade sector, and will strengthen regional and international cooperation and linkages."

In year 2014, the JICA Study Team prepared YUTRA Planand improvement survey of YCR line, and then they considered as the improvement of YCR line is one of the most importantYangon Region transportation projects. In Consequence,the improvement of YCR project was conducted Feasibility Study by JICA Study Teamin 2014. In year 2018, this project wasstarted by the JICA ODA Loan with the national budget. The Civil Engineering works for this upgrading project is conducted by the national budget, and the signal & telecommunication work and the procurement of Rolling Stock wereconducted by the JICA ODA Loan. As promote as railway line, the upgrading of stations buildings and facilities are also essential needed. Among 38 stations along YCR line, some station are accessible for the Urban Transport Network. Some stations could be performed as rail concerned business and comprehensive development in align with the Yangon City development. In current situation, the operation ratio (Expenditure : Income) of State Own Enterprise,Myanma Railways is over 200 and the Government Subsidisation is needed for every year. Even the government subsidize to MR, the services and facilities are in poor conditions and it is needed to change to corporatization for sustainable development. For changing and uplifting of this situation, Myanma Railways is starting the infrastructure development by implementing the major upgrading projects supporting by the international development partners (JICA, ADB, Korea Exim Bank etc.) as well as by government budget. Even supporting by the above mentioned agencies, the budget is limiting for the total project cost. In consequence, MR has been dividing the priorities of the work items. Yangon Circular Railway upgrading project is one of the major project for Myanma Railways and it supported by JICA ODA Loan for upgrading of signal & telecommunication and Procurement of new diesel electric multiple units. The rehabilitation of Civil works (Tracks, bridges, road bed, drainages, level crossings, embankment, foot over bridges and fencings etc.) are implementing by the government budget. Out of YCR stations, MR is committed to upgradethe following (3) Stations as a first stage and MR already planned the designs(Draft) and estimated the investment cost for these stations. These stations are as follows: (1) Shan Lann Station (2) Hantharwaddy Station (3) Kyoe Gone Station" "Although YCR railway line have been upgraded, the image and performance of existing railway stations are still poor and low passenger services. For that reason, YCR stations are needed to be designed as attractive, comfortable and harmonized with city development. On the other hand, we also aligned the station area development to perform the business industry so as to promote the return from railway-related business. The existing problem of YCR stations are mostly surrounded by invaded residential huts and no designated pedestrian sidewalk along the road to access to station. Moreover it is the lack of visibility of the station from the street and low density developments around the stations as well as no vehicular access from main road. Even through some station have narrow access road, without station plaza may cause traffic congestion around the station. Similarly, the roadside parking along the station may wider pedestrian access to the station. It is difficult to cover the expense of station development project cost by using the government budget. MR intend to overcome the expense of project cost, it exactly need to corporate with the developers or investors to contribute the station area development under PPP scheme. In an Urban setting, especially in Yangon, the former capital city and largest commercial hub, the urban railway is an effective socio-economic platform for maintaining economic growth and alleviating environmental impact. Accelerating in the rate of population growth in Yangon, the lack of infrastructure and traffic congestion were the significant problems. Composed with roadside facilities, the urban railway brings in far more passengers, it will be needed to build the better railway service reducing the environmental impact and traffic load. In current situation, the operation ratio (Expenditure : Income) of State Own Enterprise,Myanma Railways is over 200 and the Government Subsidisation is needed for every year. Even the government subsidize to MR, the services and facilities are in poor conditions and it is needed to change to corporatization forsustainable development.

The rehabilitation of Civil works (Tracks, bridges, drainages, level crossings, embankment, foot over bridges and fencings etc.) are implementing by the government budget. In the next phase, MR attempts to make good effort in non-railway business such as to develop the surrounding areas of the stations. Due to the limitation of finance, the construction of new stations with sufficient facilities and station area development could not be implemented by the government budget. Fortunately, MR own some vacant land along the way side as well as the station area potentially for business development. In this regard, and MR want to grab this opportunity for new construction and station area development by local and international developers.

To facilitate expansion of the knitting, dyeing and garment business,12 new knitting machines, dyeing machines and sewing machines will be installed in 4 new production buildings in a 169-acre project site. A waste water treatment system will be established to purify waste water coming out from the dyeing process. The project is in line with the Government’s plan to transform the textile sector from Cut-Make-Package (CMP) to Freight-on-Board (FoB). The shift from CMP to FoB requires an increased production capacity in the textile supply chain. Upgrading machines can increase the amount of production and consequently substitute the volume of raw materials currently being imported from other countries. The proposed project can supply the highly demanded yarn (1/40, 1/7, 1/21) by local textile cottage industries and traditional weaving industries with reasonable price and stable quality. Upon expansion and installation of new machines, the factory could produce a new product line of soft twist yarn, which is a raw material currently being imported for the knitting and garment sectors. Installment of new machines in the ginning factory will be able to increase cotton lint production capacity with less trash content. The Pyawbwe Textile Factory is currently producing a specific type of yarn (1/40’s) used as a raw material for weaving and other marketable types of yarn (1/7’s & 1/21’s). As the factory machines are beyond 10 years, capacity has been declining and heavy maintenance and upgrading are needed to be able to manufacture value-added products in the textile supply chain. The project is proposed to be implemented using a public private partnership (PPP) approach." The project will have a positive impact not only on economic growth but also on all the stakeholders in the textile value chain (from cotton farmers to the garment sector in general) through increased income, greater job opportunities for around 800 employees, reduced volume of imported yarn, and substitution of imported raw materials with locally produced new product such as soft twisted yarn.
