Support for Myanmar's Reforms for Inclusive Growth Program

With the reopening of Myanmar after so many years in relative isolation, the scope of development need was massive. Clearing of arrears was only the start of development support requirements. The government was highly motivated, spurred on by the visible benefits countrywide of the change and reform agenda on which it had embarked. However, the government's lack of familiarity with development finance institution protocol, project design and processing requirements, and implementation management and monitoring requirements has meant that subsequent deployment of development support resources could be more efficient.
