I. CONSISTENCY OF THE BUSINESS PLAN WITH THE COUNTRY PARTNERSHIP STRATEGY

1. Reengagement. In response to ongoing major reforms by the Government of Myanmar toward democracy and a market-based economy, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) began to reengage with Myanmar in early 2012. In a phased approach, ADB prepared economic and sector work, including a country diagnostic study;1 established relationships and dialogue with the government, civil society, the private sector, and other development partners; prepared an interim country partnership strategy (CPS), 2012–2014 for Myanmar as the framework for initial operations (October 2012);2 resumed lending operations after the clearance of arrears (January 2013); built a project pipeline (November 2013); 3 and finalized a host country agreement (February 2014). After Board approval in October 2013,4 ADB set up the Myanmar Resident Mission with offices in Nay Pyi Taw and Yangon, and appointed a country director (April 2014). 2. Interim country partnership strategy, 2012–2014. The interim CPS, 2012–2014 defined ADB’s medium-term goals in Myanmar: to help accelerate economic growth, create income opportunities, bridge rural–urban gaps, and more closely integrate the country with the region. From 2012 to 2014, ADB’s objective was to reengage with Myanmar and develop a comprehensive country partnership and program for sustainable and inclusive economic development and job creation. The interim CPS emphasized three program areas: (i) building human resources and capacities, (ii) promoting an enabling economic environment, and (iii) creating access and connectivity. Good governance, environmental sustainability, private sector development, regional cooperation and integration, and gender were the strategic themes, with knowledge solutions and partnerships as components.

3. Interim country partnership strategy, 2015–2016. During the 2014 country programming mission, ADB and the government agreed that the strategic thrust of the interim CPS, 2012–2014 remains valid, and that it is suitable to extend its validity by 2 years to 2016. This will allow ADB to prepare its first full CPS for Myanmar (2017–2021) in complete alignment with the government’s national development plan (April 2016–March 2021), ADB’s Strategy 2020 Midterm Review,5 and the Asian Development Fund (ADF) allocation cycle (2017–2020). The interim CPS, 2015–20166 extends the validity of the earlier interim CPS by 2 years to 2016. 4. Country operations business plan, 2015–2017. The country operations business plan, 2015–2017 is fully consistent with the strategic directions of the interim CPS, 2012–2014 (and the interim CPS, 2015–2016). It reflects the intention, as agreed with the government, for ADB to gradually increase its sector focus and selectivity toward a long-term, programmatic approach in priority sectors within the framework of the country strategy, and in line with government priorities and the evolving strategies and sector activities of other development partners.

II. INDICATIVE RESOURCE PARAMETERS

5. Resource envelope. Myanmar is classified as a Group A (ADF-only) country. ADF donors provided special allocations of ADF resources for Myanmar, indicatively amounting to $1,024 million for 2013–2016, including the policy-based loan for $512 million that was

approved in January 2013 under an initial special allocation. The financing of the remaining special ADF allocations under ADF XI will depend on available additional ADF resources. The indicative ADF country allocation for Myanmar from 2015–2017 amounts to $463 million. The final ADF country allocations will also depend on available ADF commitment authority and the outcome of the country performance assessments. An indicative lending program of $680 million from ADF resources is proposed in this COBP (Appendix 3, Table A3.1). As the total pipeline exceeds the overall available ADF resource envelope for the COBP period, cofinancing and funding from other sources, including the ADF subregional pool, will be actively explored in consultation with the Government. 6. Nonlending program. The indicative national nonlending program for 2015–2017 totals $19.5 million, of which $15.5 million will be financed from ADB’s special funds and the balance from trust funds and other cofinanciers (Appendix 3, Table A3.2). The focus of ADB’s national TA program in Myanmar during 2015–2016 is on project preparation and implementation, while in 2017 one project preparation TA for education and training and three national capacity development TA projects are proposed. Regional advisory and capacity development TAs will supplement the national program. 7. Nonsovereign activities. ADB’s private sector operations will focus on infrastructure investments in (i) energy and power, (ii) transport and logistics, (iii) water supply, (iv) agricultural development, (v) telecommunications, (vi) urban and social infrastructure and services, and (vii) public–private partnerships. These operations will also continue to support private sector development, especially of micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises, through banking, trade finance, and other financial intermediation. 8. Cofinancing. Leveraging ADB’s scarce ADF resources and combining efforts with other partners are central planks of ADB’s strategy for Myanmar. In 2014 to date, the Mandalay Urban Services Improvement project attracted indicative cofinancing from the Government of France for up to $80 million, and the Preparing Youth for the Workplace sector development program generated strong interest from several development partners. The government and ADB are jointly pursuing cofinancing from other development partners to supplement ADB’s resources.

III. SUMMARY OF CHANGES TO LENDING AND NONLENDING PROGRAMS

9. Changes in 2015. The Preparing Youth for the Workplace program was added to 2015 in line with the priorities in the interim CPS. The renamed Economic Empowerment of the Poor and Women in the East–West Economic Corridor project was moved from 2014 to 2015 to allow time for project preparation. For the nonlending program, project preparatory TA interventions were added for the Transport Sector Modernization Project, and the Promoting Private Sector Participation Project. The Mekong Business Initiative, a regional policy advisory facility to promote private sector development in the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS), supported by the Government of Australia, was also added.

10. Changes in 2016. The following projects were added to the 2016 program: Enhancing Rural Livelihoods and Incomes in Kayin State, and the Third GMS Health Security Project. For the nonlending program, project preparatory TA interventions were added for the National Transmission Program, and the Climate-Friendly Agribusiness Value Chains project. 11. 2017 pipeline. Three investment projects in line with Myanmar’s needs and priorities have been included in the 2017 pipeline: Transport Sector Modernization; Promoting Private Sector Participation (to cover elements of private sector and finance reforms, and public–private partnerships); and Climate-Friendly Agribusiness Value Chains.
