Myanmar: Country Operations Business Plan (2017-2019)
Institutional Document | October 2016 Myanmar Language
This country operations business plan (COBP) for 2017-2019 is an interim step in the preparation of the new CPS, 2017-
2021 for Myanmar, which is scheduled for approval in early 2017. It reflects the gradual shift toward (i) an increased sector
focus, with the bulk (around 85 percent) of financial resources for 2017–2019 being allocated to infrastructure (energy,
transport, urban development, and irrigation); and (ii) a long-term approach in all activities.
The COBP is coordinated with the strategies and programs of other development partners. It provides for a degree of
flexibility, taking into consideration evolving needs and government priorities, and will be adjusted in 2017 in line with the new
CPS.

I. CONSISTENCY OF BUSINESS PLAN WITH COUNTRY PARTNERSHIP STRATEGY
1. Economic context. Reflecting ongoing reforms, gross domestic product (GDP) growth
has steadily increased from 5.6% in fiscal year (FY) 2011 to an average of over 8% from
FY2013 to FY2015. The consolidated fiscal deficit widened to an estimated 5.5% of GDP in
FY2015, up from 2.9% in FY2014, largely due to higher government spending in an election
year, including on education and health. The current account deficit is estimated at 8.9% of
GDP in FY2015, up from 6.1% in FY2014, as accelerating economic activities and continued
economic reforms have stimulated growth in imports of both capital goods and consumer goods.
Total external debt in FY2015 is expected to reach $9.7 billion, or 14.7% of GDP, up from 14%
in FY2014. The infrastructure investment gap through to 2030 is estimated to be about $120
billion for the transport, energy, and telecom sectors.1
2. Country strategy. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) reengaged with Myanmar in
early 2012, and prepared an interim country partnership strategy (CPS), 2012–2014, for
Myanmar as the framework for initial operations.2
The interim CPS defined ADB’s medium-term
goals in Myanmar: accelerate economic growth, create income opportunities, bridge rural–urban
gaps, and more closely integrate the country into the region. It also emphasized three program
areas: (i) build human resources and capacities; (ii) promote an enabling economic
environment; and (iii) increase access and connectivity. In 2014, ADB and the Government of
the Union of Myanmar extended the interim CPS by 2 years to 2016.3
This country operations
business plan (COBP), 2017–2019, is an interim step in the preparation of the new CPS, 2017–
2021, which is scheduled for approval in early 2017. The new CPS, based on comprehensive
analytical work, broad-based consultations and lessons from the interim CPS, will be consistent
with the government’s priorities and with the corporate priorities expressed in ADB’s Strategy
2020 as well as with ADB’s comparative strengths.4
3. Operational focus. The COBP, 2017–2019, reflects the gradual shift toward (i) an
increased sector focus, with the bulk (around 85 percent) of financial resources for 2017–2019
being allocated to infrastructure (energy, transport, urban development, and irrigation); and (ii) a
long-term approach in all activities. The COBP is coordinated with the strategies and programs
of other development partners. It provides for a degree of flexibility, taking into consideration
evolving needs and government priorities, and will be adjusted in 2017 in line with the new CPS.
The country assistance results areas are shown in Appendix 1, and the range of knowledge and
innovation activities in Appendix 4.
II. INDICATIVE RESOURCE PARAMETERS
4. Indicative resource envelope.5
Myanmar, a group A developing member country, is
eligible for Asian Development Fund (ADF) grants and concessional ordinary capital resources
(OCR) lending (COL).6
The recently concluded ADF 12 replenishment foresees a special
allocation of concessional funds for Myanmar amounting to $1.4 billion for 2017–2020. The
2015 World Bank–IMF Debt Sustainability Analysis assessed Myanmar as being at low risk of

Terminology reflects the combination of ADF lending operations with the OCR balance sheet that will take effect on

debt distress. In accordance with the concessional assistance policy, the country is to receive
100% of its country allocation in COL in 2016.7
The indicative COL resource allocation for 2017–
2019 is $1.024 billion. In addition, Myanmar’s indicative disaster risk reduction (DRR) allocation
for 2017–2019 is $30.40 million, with $20.27 million in DRR COL and $10.13 million in DRR
grants.8
The final allocations will depend on the available resources and the outcome of the
country performance assessment. The remaining available ADF XI resources to Myanmar
amounting to $177.49 million for 2016 have been fully programmed. An indicative lending
program of $1.385 billion from ADF resources is proposed in the COBP, 2017–2019.
Cofinancing and funding from other sources, including the regional pool under concessional
resources, will be actively explored in close coordination with the authorities. The indicative
national non-lending (technical assistance) program for 2017–2019 will total $12 million from
ADB’s special funds, with additional funds to be sought from other sources.
5. Nonsovereign operations. ADB’s private sector operations will proactively seek
opportunities for nonsovereign activities with a focus on infrastructure and finance sectors.9
III. SUMMARY OF CHANGES TO LENDING AND NONLENDING PROGRAMS
6. 2016–2017 pipeline. The major changes in the lending pipeline for 2016 from the
previous COBP, 2016–2018, are as follows: (i) the Irrigation Command Area Development
Project was renamed the Irrigated Agriculture Inclusive Development Project; (ii) the Preparing
Youth for the Workplace Program was renamed the Equipping Youth for Employment Project
and increased to $98.5 million due to pressing sector needs; (iii) the Power Transmission and
Distribution Improvement Project was shifted to 2018 as an element of the Power Network
Development Program 1 as the Power Transmission Improvement Project was only approved in
November 2015; (iv) the Emergency Support for Chin State Livelihoods Restoration Project was
added in response to the floods of late 2015. Changes in the 2017 lending pipeline included the
following: (i) the Promoting Private Sector Participation Program I was renamed the
Strengthening the Business Climate Program I and moved to 2018; (ii) the Transport Sector
Modernization Program I was increased to $250 million; and (iii) the Disaster Resilient Rural
Development in Myanmar Project was added to access resources from the new disaster risk
reduction set-aside fund. On non-lending in 2016, the Capacity Development for Project
Implementation project, originally scheduled for 2015, was shifted to 2016.
7. 2018–2019 pipeline. The following major changes were made to the 2018 pipeline: (i)
the Power Network Development Program I increased to $250 million; and (ii) the Greater
Mekong Subregion (GMS) Second Tourism Infrastructure for Inclusive Growth Project was
added for $45 million. For 2019 the following programs were added: (i) the Transport Sector
Modernization Program II for $150 million; (ii) the Equipping Youth for Employment Project II
(additional financing) for $100 million; (iii) the GMS East–West Economic Corridor (EWEC)
Road Corridor Improvement II for $150 million; and (iv) the Second Mandalay Urban Services
Improvement Project for $150 million. For 2019, three project preparatory TA projects are
included (Transport Sector Modernization Program III, GMS Corridor Town Development
Project—Bago, and GMS Regional Transport Corridor Improvement I).
7
The proportion of grants for the resource allocations for 2017–2019 will be determined by future annual debt
distress classifications in accordance with the concessional assistance policy.
8
The DRR aims to strengthen disaster resilience and to help spur investment. This additional financing will support
(i) stand-alone DRR projects; (ii) discrete DRR components of other grant and loan projects; and (iii) the
incremental cost in strengthening the disaster resilience of infrastructure investments.
9
While private sector operations are expected to continue to play an important role in ADB’s Myanmar operations,
they are not reflected in this COBP because they are undertaken on a commercial transaction basis.

Country Operations Business Plan: Myanmar, 2015–2017
INTERIM COUNTRY PARTNERSHIP STRATEGY
Myanmar: 2015–2016
1. The interim country partnership strategy (CPS), 2015–2016 of the Asian Development
Bank (ADB) for Myanmar extends the validity of the interim CPS, 2012–20141
for 2 years to
2016.2
It is consistent with the earlier interim CPS and the 5-year policy agenda of the
Government of Myanmar.
A. Background
2. The interim CPS, 2012–2014 offers a framework for ADB’s progressive reengagement
with Myanmar, while providing space for continued analytical work, capacity building,
consultations, and the forging of partnerships toward the development of a full CPS over the
medium term. In line with the government’s development priorities, ADB’s medium-term goal
under the interim CPS, 2012–2014 is to support the government in achieving sustainable and
inclusive growth, with the guiding theme of connectivity (domestic and regional, rural and urban,
hard and soft infrastructure).
3. The interim CPS, 2012–2014 focuses on (i) building human resources and capacities
(capacity building in ministries in core areas of ADB involvement, and education); (ii) promoting
an enabling economic environment (macroeconomic and fiscal management; and trade,
investment, and finance sector reform); and (iii) creating access and connectivity (rural
livelihoods and infrastructure development, especially energy and transport). It mainstreams the
thematic areas of good governance, environmental sustainability, social safeguards, private
sector development, and regional cooperation and integration into ADB’s operations. ADB is
also focusing on the crosscutting areas of knowledge and partnerships.
4. Staff assessments indicate that the strategic direction of the interim CPS, 2012–2014
remains relevant, and the proposed project investments in the country operations business plan
(COBP), 2015–2017 are consistent with this strategic direction.
B. Closing the Programming Gap
5. ADB and the government have consulted on the options for covering the programming
gap between the current interim CPS, 2012–2014 and the proposed full CPS, 2017–2021.
There is agreement that the strategic thrust of the current interim CPS remains valid, and that
an interim CPS, 2015–2016 should be developed to extend the validity of the earlier interim
CPS by 2 years to 2016.
6. Building on experience to date and the approach in the interim CPS, 2012–2014, and in
close consultation with the government, the focus, selectivity, and results orientation of ADB’s
strategy and program in Myanmar will be enhanced during 2015–2016. ADB will increasingly
focus its support on helping overcome Myanmar’s key development constraints through
strategic transport, energy, and skills and related investments, as well as direct support to key
reforms, building on the capacity-strengthening efforts to date. ADB will also support the
government’s efforts to improve the enabling business environment and stimulate an increasing
private sector role in infrastructure and public service provision. While a range of innovative pilot
projects have been supported in several sectors and thematic areas, greater focus and

was granted on 24 June 2014.

selectivity will enable ADB to support the government’s efforts to accelerate the achievement of
sustainable and inclusive growth.
7. The 2-year extension of the interim CPS, 2012–2014 permits a smooth transition into the
full 5-year CPS, 2017–2021. The proposed timing takes into consideration (i) the unique
circumstances in Myanmar in the lead up to what are widely regarded as landmark general
elections in November 2015; (ii) the need for close alignment between the CPS and the
government’s 5-year national development plan (April 2016–March 2021); (iii) alignment with
the next Asian Development Fund allocation cycle (2017–2020); and (iv) the extensive time and
resource requirements for the preparation of a full CPS. It also provides the time for required
strategic and analytical work in critical areas such as governance, conflict-sensitive approaches,
social and environmental safeguards, gender equity, and private sector engagement, which are
to underpin the preparation of the full CPS, 2017–2021.
C. Preparation of the Country Partnership Strategy, 2017–2021
8. The proposed Myanmar National Comprehensive Development Plan, 2011–2031 will
map the development paths to 2031; it is broken down into a series of 5-year plans, the second
of which runs from April 2016 to March 2021. This planning framework provides the basis for
long-term CPS alignment with government strategies. It also serves to identify the long-term
programmatic pillars around which to allocate ADB’s financial and staff resources in a focused
and results-oriented manner.
9. ADB has already initiated the process of preparing the first full CPS, 2017–2021 for
Myanmar, building on the lessons learned during the reengagement process and aiming to
increase focus and selectivity. Substantial economic and sector work is under way, including a
country diagnostic study carried out by ADB’s Economics and Research Department.3
The
initiating meeting is scheduled for 2015 and Board approval for 2016.
D. Conclusion
10. Given the status of ADB’s reengagement strategy with Myanmar and the government’s
planning cycle, and with the next 5-year development plan scheduled for launch in April 2016,
the validity of the interim CPS, 2012–2014 needs to be extended by 2 years. This will enable the
CPS, 2017–2021 to be fully aligned with the new 5-year development plan, provide sufficient
time for analytical underpinning of the country strategy and program, and ensure that relevant
government agencies and other key stakeholders are thoroughly consulted.4
