Description:
"Dear Readers,
Welcome to the first FAO Myanmar newsletter of
2019!
In 2019, FAO will continue its strong support to
the Government of Myanmar and its people. At
the start of the year, the new Country
Programming Framework (CPF) for Myanmar
outlining the priority areas of FAO support to and
partnership with the Government for a six-year
period was signed. FAO Assistant DirectorGeneral and Regional Representative for Asia and
Pacific joined the CPF signing ceremony as well
as observed the on-ground situation of FAO
projects in the country.
With the new framework of partnership, FAO will
extend its assistance to the Government to
achieve three main goals. The first is enhanced
food security, nutrition and food safety. The
second is strengthened governance and
sustainable management of land, forests, water
resources and ecosystems. The third relates to
enhanced resilience of local communities and
farming households to natural and humanitarian disasters, climate change and transboundary and
emerging infectious disease risks. The achievement
of these three goals will be closely linked to our
support in the accomplishment of the
Government’s strategies such as: the Multisectoral National Plan of Action for Nutrition (MSNPAN), the Agriculture Development Strategy (ADS)
and the Myanmar Action Plan for Disaster Risk
Reduction (MAPDRR). Through all the efforts that
are being put in place, FAO aspires to see economic
growth and political stability in Myanmar.
FAO Myanmar remains committed to contribute
to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals in
the country more specifically, the Myanmar
Sustainable Development Plan through a strong
collaboration with the Government counterparts,
donors, and development and humanitarian
partners.
I wish you all a happy Myanmar New Year!
Enjoy reading our Newsletter!..."
