Donor coordination in Myanmar:
The Partnership Group for Aid Effectiveness

8 OBJECTIVES OF THE PARTNERSHIP GROUP ON AID EFFECTIVENESS

The Partnership Group on AidEffectiveness (PGAE) is an informal group. It acts as a forum for increasing aid
effectiveness in Myanmar. Its main objectives are to enhance joint working between development partners and
to ensure that aid is managed in ways that make use of limited development partner resources to maximise
benefits for the poor. PGAE is underpinned by development effectiveness principles including alignment,
harmonisation and simplification, managing for results, and mutual accountability. National ownership is
essential to effective development and PGAE donors seek to align with country systems and national strategies
where possible. Other important objectives include ensuring the transparency and accountability of assistance
and designing safeguards that strengthen rather than weaken country mechanisms. PGAE members will
continue to adapt the ways in which they work to keep pace with the evolving Myanmar operating environment,
including by working more closely with the Government of Myanmar where possible.

Further principles for effective donor engagement in Myanmar include: building on existing programs and
information sharing mechanisms where possible; building the capacity of the Government of Myanmar to
coordinate and deliver aid services; avoiding drawing skilled labour away from the Government of Myanmar;
prioritising analysis, and joint ownership; managing expectations about the speed with which development gains
will occur; ensuring coordination between diplomatic, development and security actors; building flexibility into
engagement and programming; and, engaging with all relevant donors including nontraditional donors.

Since the Cyclone Nargis disaster in 2008, international assistance has evolved away from largely humanitarian
interventions to focus on longerterm development work. The number of sectors in which donors engage has
expanded and, as progress continues, donors are looking to work closely with the administration and
development partners to ensure that development investments result in sustainable improvements which benefit
Myanmar people who most need the support.

8 COMPOSITION OF THE PARTNERSHIP GROUP

The Group is open to development partners. The chairmanship of the Group rotates on an annual basis and the
Chair is chosen by a consensus within the Group. The UN Resident Coordinator has a standing invitation to attend
open sessions of the meetings as an observer. Representatives from ASEAN, the World Bank and other
international or regional organisations may also attend at the invitation of the Group. The NGO Liaison Officer
may also be invited to attend.

The group attempts to align the timing and focus of its meetings with the regular thematic UN donor meetings
held in Yangon to allow maximum effective participation.

8 SCOPE OF WORK OF THE PGAE

To achieve the objectives of the PGAE, members are to seek to improve the effectiveness of their work by:

x joint analysis, to deepen their understanding of the development context and challenges in Myanmar by
identifying gaps in analysis/ understanding on development issues in Myanmar where joint research can
be commissioned. Seek to stepup their engagement with government, recognising the centrality of a
countryled process of development
x adopting a more systematic/ strategic approach to development partner missions including greater use
of joint missions;
x producing a calendar of events for the year covering key reviews, processes, opportunities to enable
improved coordination; and
x maintaining an uptodate list of development partner contact points;

Implementation arrangements and development partners
profiles

In line with the principles outlined above, where possible, donors have worked to establish joint approaches and
implementation arrangements to maximise the impact of our programs. Key mechanisms are outlined in this
section.

8 MULTIDONOR TRUST FUNDS
Multidonor trust funds have become an important mechanism for aid delivery in Myanmar. Key funds include:

Multidonor Education Fund Phase II (MDEF II) approximately USD65m 20122016
The MultiDonor Education Fund Phase II (MDEF II) will build upon its predecessor, the MultiDonor Education
Fund, to address the urgent need for sustainable improvements in access, equity, quality and management in
Myanmars basic education sector. It aims to accelerate progress towards achieving Millennium Development
Goal 2, ensure that, by 2015, children everywhere, girls and boys alike, will be able to complete a full course of
primary schooling.

MDEFII is supported by Australia, Denmark, European Commission, Norway, UNICEF, UNESCO, and the United
Kingdom.

3 Diseases Fund (3DF) USD 138m 20062012
The Three Diseases Fund (3DF) was established following the withdrawal of the Global Fund in Myanmar in 2005.
The 3DF was established to reduce the burden of HIV and AIDS, tuberculosis (TB) and malaria in Myanmar. The
3DFs purpose is to resource a program of activities to reduce transmission and enhance provision of treatment
and care of HIV/AIDS, TB and malaria for the most in need populations. Key outputs from the 3DF are to ensure:
x Sufficient commodities are resourced and distributed for the three diseases through 3DF activities
x Services are sufficient to address the needs of those most affected by HIV, TB and malaria
x Funds are allocated in line with Fund Board policies and in response to national plans, and are accounted
for in a transparent manner
x Fund flow and implementing partner performance are monitored and evaluated.
x Results from 3DF are used to inform program development both internally and externally.

Since 2006 the 3DF has helped to contain the epidemics of HIV, tuberculosis and malaria. 30 million condoms
have been distributed to prevent HIV infection; 880,000 people treated for malaria and life saving drugs have
been provided each year to over 129,000 people with tuberculosis and 19 000 people living with HIV.) The 3DF is
supported by Australia, Denmark, the European Commission (EC), the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and the
United Kingdom (UK). The 3DF concludes in June 2012 and will be replaced by the Three Millennium Developmet
Goal Fund (3MDG).

Three Millennium Development Goal (3 MDG) Fund approximately USD300m 20122016
The 3MDG Fund will replace 3DF and continue to provide joint donor support to address basic health needs of the
most vulnerable people in Myanmar, and to expand the scope of support beyond three diseases to encompass
maternal and child health and longerterm sustainability. The overarching goal of 3MDG is to contribute to
national progress towards health Millennium Development Goals. Specifically, it will aim to improve maternal,
newborn and child health and reduce communicable disease burden in areas supported by the fund.
6

The 3MDG Fund is being established by Australia, Denmark, the European Commission (EC), the Netherlands,
Norway, Sweden and the United Kingdom (UK).

Livelihoods and Food Security Trust Fund (LIFT) approximately USD 170m 2009 2016
LIFT aims to make progress towards the achievement of Millennium Development Goal One: Eradicate extreme
poverty and hunger by 2015. It will do this by increasing food availability, income generation opportunities and
food use for 2 million target beneficiaries across Myanmar.
x Supporting agricultural production though provision of seeds, fertilizers, power tillers,
etc. to beneficiaries;
x Strengthening effective market and employment support mechanisms for target
individuals (on farm, off farm and nonfarm);
x Providing social protection measures to the chronically poor in targeted households;
x Strengthening the capacity of local partners to support livelihoods and food security
initiatives; and
x Informing national policy and programme development by monitoring and evaluating the impact of LIFT
funded assistance through commissioned studies.

In 2011, LIFT was active in the Ayeyarwady Delta, the central Dry Zone as well as
Shan, Chin, Kachin and Rakhine States.

Cumulatively, including activities in 2010, LIFT has provided assistance to an estimated 222,000 households or
1,110,000 people as direct beneficiaries. Important achievements include:
x 48,000 farmers have been provided with 2,264 MT of paddy seed 1,247 MT of
fertilizer
x Training and advice has been given to 23,000 farmers to maximise the benefit
of agricultural inputs
x Capital has been provided to 13,000 households for small businesses
x Livestock has been distributed to 17,000 poor and landless households
x 13,000 fishing households were provided with nets and/or boats
x Cashforwork activities has targeted poor and vulnerable households, creating
391,000 persondays of work and constructing or repairing important village
infrastructure including ponds, embankments, jetties, footpaths, bridges and
culverts
x Over 3,700 communitybased groups, with more than 70,000 members, (41%
of which were women) have been trained in management, livelihood and vocational
skills.
LIFT is currently supported by Australia, Denmark, the European Union, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Sweden,
Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.

Donors to the key trust funds encourage new partners to consider participating either by working in parallel
or through direct funding.

Australia

Australia's aid to Myanmar has increased by 65 per cent since 200910 (from $29.1 million in 200910 to $47.6
million in 201112). In 2010, Australia moved the Myanmar Program from a primarily humanitarian focus to a
longerterm development program. Australia is one of the largest donors in Myanmar and delivers its assistance
primarily through UN agencies, regional institutions and international nongovernment organisations.
Australia's expanded aid program targets the alleviation of critical needs in basic education, health (especially for
mothers and children), and livelihoods and food security. In recognition of the serious and sustained decline in the
human capital of Myanmar efforts to build the capacity of people and institutions to help prepare Myanmar for
the future and move towards longterm poverty reduction, increasingly underpin the program. In 2010, Australia
established a scholarships scheme which has grown from 10 awards in the first year to up to 30 awards in 201213.
Australia will provide an estimated $47.6 million in development assistance to Myanmar in 201112. Australias
aid will focus on:
improving access to and quality of basic education
improving health care outcomes by fighting communicable diseases like HIV/AIDS, TB and
malaria, addressing maternal and child mortality by equipping health clinics, training healthcare
staff and providing better health education
helping farmers access credit, seeds and access new market opportunities
supporting organisations working with the Rohingya on the border with Bangladesh and
refugees on the ThaiMyanmar border
addressing transboundary issues like people trafficking, infectious diseases and HIV/AIDS.

Australia is the donor lead on the Multi Donor Education Fund (MDEFII).

European Commission Humanitarian (ECHO 2010)
8 RESPONDING TO URGENT HUMANITARIAN NEEDS AND CONTINUE PROVIDING ESSENTIAL HUMANITARIAN
ASSISTANCE TO THE MOST VULNERABLE GROUPS AFFECTED BY THE PROTRACTED CRISIS IN MYANMAR

In 2010, the European Commission, through its humanitarian aid department ECHO, has allocated 9.25 million
to address the basic humanitarian needs of vulnerable people in Myanmar according to its mandate to save and
preserve life based on the fundamental principles of humanity, impartiality, non discrimination and neutrality.

The focus is on assisting civilian victims of the protracted lowintensity conflict between the central government
and armed groups of ethnic minorities living in the country's frontier areas. These include Shan, Mon, Kayin,
Kayah states and Thanintaryi division. The humanitarian situation of conflictaffected vulnerable populations in
Myanmar has remained a "forgotten crisis" and is identified as such by ECHO.

In the western border regions of Northern Rakhine State, ECHO will continue to provide assistance to isolated
communities who have little or no access to social services and where malnutrition and lack of health facilities are
affecting children in particular.

Some one million people will benefit from the assistance being provided in the sectors of protection, health care,
water/sanitation, food aid and nutrition. This also includes humanitarian relief provided to the mostvulnerable
people affected by the floods in Northern Rakhine State in 2010.

8 DISASTER RISK REDUCTION

DIPECHO ( DIsaster Preparedness ECHO) is a programme set up by ECHO in 1996 to enable communities at risk
to better prepare and protect themselves in response to disasters. In 2010, 1 million has been allocated under the
Disaster Risk Reduction programme (DIPECHO) to support two projects implemented by specialised partners in
the western coastal areas of the country.

8 OBJECTIVES AND OVERVIEW OF OPERATIONS IN MYANMAR

The European Commission (EC) has provided development assistance to Myanmar since 1996 and committed
over 174 million. For the period 20122013 the EC will commit additional 150 million, becoming the largest
donors in the country. The EC aid portfolio has significantly expanded both in geographical and sectoral coverage,
contributing to improve the living conditions of vulnerable population in almost all States and Regions in
Myanmar. The EC's assistance is delivered in compliance with the EU Council Decision on Burma/Myanmar
(former Common Position on Burma/Myanmar)
1
and specifically aims to:

Prioritise support to health and education (basic education), mainly through the established multi
donor programmes for these sectors;

Support livelihoods and food security to promote rural development, including access to credit;

Target crosscutting themes such as gender, environmental protection, good governance and human
rights with particular regard to children's rights and the rights of People with Disabilities.

A new area of assistance will be civil service capacity building to contribute to build a professional and effective
public administration.

In collaboration with ECHO, the EC has been supporting the smooth transition from relief to recovery in those
areas affected by humanitarian crisis and where the situation is volatile (e.g. Cyclone Nargis).

8 OBJECTIVES AND OVERVIEW OF OPERATIONS IN MYANMAR

Israel has been delivering assistance in Myanmar for over five decades. Our focus is capacity building and
training as means of creating lasting effective change. Many of our programs are designed to pass along
knowledge and skills in areas of Israeli expertise. Israel, through its Agency for International Cooperation
(MASHAV), has formed partnerships with Myanmar government agencies, NGOs and INGOs, through which
aid is delivered.

8 IMPLEMENTATION PROCEDURES

Israels focus in all its operations is on capacity building as a means of creating sustainable
transformations. Thus, our programs concentrate on training, skill development and empowerment.
Through grants, the Israeli embassy in Yangon sends trainees to Israel to attend various courses on
subjects such as agriculture, water and sanitation, urban planning, gender and public health. Several times
a year, MASHAV, provides onthespot courses in Myanmar for professionals in government ministries
and the NGO sector.

Some of the aid provided by Israel cannot be monetarily quantified, such as our extensive agricultural
training program. For the past 16 years, this program has reached over 1,500 beneficiaries from Myanmar.
During that time, the number of trainees sent to Israel yearly has increased steadily, and today stands on
150. The agricultural training program provides Myanmar students with uptodate, professional,
implementable agricultural knowledge, which can later be applied in Myanmar farms and agricultural
institutions. This long standing program has been carried out in cooperation with Israeli agricultural
18
training centres, and close partnership with Myanmar government agencies, local NGOs and the private
sector in Myanmar.

8 OBJECTIVES AND OVERVIEW OF OPERATIONS IN MYANMAR

The Government of Japan has implemented cooperation project for improvement of the humanitarian
situation in Myanmar providing approximately US$ 2530 to million every year. The Government of Japan
provides its assistance to Myanmar cooperating directly with the relevant authorities of the Government of
Myanmar as well as through international organizations, international NGOs and grassroots organizations.

Since May 2003, in view of the political situation in Myanmar, Japanese assistance to Myanmar had been
limited to those projects classified into the following categories:
(i) Urgent as well as humanitarian assistance
(ii) Human resource development for democratization and economic reform
(iii) Assistance covering the region (ASEAN or CLMV).

With the view that recent events in Myanmar such as the general election and shift to civilian rule, release of
Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, and release of political prisoners, though not sufficient, are positive steps toward
democratization and national reconciliation in Myanmar, the Government of Japan decided in June 2011 that
while closely following the progress of democratization and improvement of human rights situations in
Myanmar, it will consider and implement on a casebycase basis projects centering on basic human needs
which would directly benefit the people of Myanmar.

8 FOCUS AREAS
Japanese assistance to Myanmar covers a variety of areas including:
x Health

United Kingdom DFID
8 OBJECTIVES AND OVERVIEW OF OPERATIONS
The UK has been a significant provider of assistance to the people of Myanmar for many years. In March 2010,
the UK Secretary of State for International Development announced a significantly scaledup programme of
support to Myanmar (187 million (approx. $300m) over four years). This support would deliver the following
results over four years from 2011/12 2014/15:
x Ensure 57,500 more women have at least four antenatal checks during their pregnancy as a result of
DFID funding, and help avert 153,000 unintended pregnancies.
x Ensure 500,000 women and men receive appropriate treatment to contain the spread of drug
resistant malaria, through DFID funding by 2014.
x Help over 200,000 children to complete primary school by 2015, with a focus on community and
monastic schools which provide education to some of the poorest and most vulnerable children in
Myanmar.
x Give 110,000 more women access to financial services to help them buy food, send their children to
school and meet their medical needs. Currently, four out of ten rural people rely on money lenders
who charge interest rates as high as 200%. We will also enable 92,000 people to increase the amount
of food they are able to produce to eat or sell.
x Provide humanitarian assistance to people affected by conflict in eastern Myanmar, and to Burmese
refugees in Thailand.
x Help local community groups to work together to give people more of a say in decisions that affect
their lives.
