Securing Energy Needs and Transition of Rural areas in Myanmar (SENTRUM) Supply and access to energy is vital to promoting economic growth, overcoming poverty, and facilitating human development. Prior to 2020, Myanmar was one of Asia¿s most rapidly growing economies and the share of the population having access to energy had increased considerably in recent years. However, the combined effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the political crisis have deeply affected Myanmar¿s population, halting decade of progress on economic development and poverty reduction in the country. The present political, economic and social crisis is expected to last for years. Currently it is estimated that nearly half of Myanmar¿s population is living below the national poverty, a level of impoverishment not seen in the country since 2005[1]. The current political crisis has a major impact on population¿s access to energy, meaning a reliable and affordable access to both clean cooking facilities and to electricity.&nbsp;&nbsp;The overall objective of this action is to achieve sustainable economic development and improve livelihoods in rural Myanmar. The Specific Objective of this action is to improve access to renewable electricity and sustainable energy solutions for businesses and households in rural Myanmar.Output 1 targets the access to sustainable electricity services from renewable sources mainly to the benefit of economic actors and rural MSMEs. Output is focused on access to sustainable energy and housing (equipment, products, practices) solutions for poor households (improved cook stoves, clean cooking fuel etc.). These two outputs will be complemented by Output 3 covering access to awareness raising, training and financing for local companies and end users. &nbsp;The main idea of this action is that the basic access to sustainable energy is ensured and responds to the needs of productive users (pumping - transformation - conservation...) as to services for households (cooking - lighting - communication - housing...) through the promotion, financing and diffusion of affordable and reliable source of renewable energy using renewable biomass value-chains, photovoltaic and hydro energy potential. The results should be then complemented in the third component thanks to access to information, training and financing. To ensure the roll-out of the action which will also target women, the youth and vulnerable communities in in rural areas, the project will mobilize the communities throughout the project cycle.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This action contributes primarily to SDG 1. ¿No Poverty¿. It also contributes to SDG 7. ¿Affordable and Clean Energy¿, SDG 5. ¿Gender equality¿ and SDG 13. ¿Climate Action¿.  [1] https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/

Top-up of CTR 422-819_Livelihoods and Food Security Fund (LIFT 2) Contract related to: Top-up of CTR 422-819_Livelihoods and Food Security Fund (LIFT 2) - This action aims to support social and economic resilience of Myanmar's population with a focus on the transition to more sustainable livelihoods, sustainable management of natural resources, and responsible businesses.The Overall Objective of this action is to strengthen socio-economic sustainable resilience in the environment affected by COVID-19 and the recent coup d¿état. The Specific Objectives of this action are: (i) Improve livelihoods, food and nutrition security of the most vulnerable, with a focus on women, children and people with disabilities, whilst protecting natural resources and increasing resilience to climate change; and (ii) Strengthen and protect responsible business practices in urban settings focusing on social, environmental, human rights standards and gender equality.SDGs are indivisible and an action targeting mainly poverty reduction (SDG2) must encompass other dimensions to be truly sustainable. Focusing on basic needs means addressing nutrition (SDG3), gender equality (SDG5) and climate change (SDG13). About half of the SDGs are directly focused on the environment or address the sustainability of natural resources. Supporting responsible business translates into protecting decent jobs (SDG8), so that the clean businesses that emerged in the last decade remain anchored in Myanmar and keep Myanmar connected to the world. It also means supporting sustainable consumption and production (SDG 12), because clean businesses in terms of human rights and labour rights also have a duty to keep the environment clean. As conflict has spread all over Myanmar and is not only limited to frontier rural areas, a conflict sensitive approach is essential and due diligence of actors, especially private ones, is required.The action foresees partnering with international organisations with experience in supporting livelihoods and sustainable businesses in Myanmar in response to the severe effects of COVID-19 and the military takeover on the population, and in prevention of possible future crises.The action also foresees to use the Direct management approach through Grants.
Quality Basic Education Pathways for Children (QBEP4Children) Contract related to: Quality Basic Education Pathways for Children (QBEP4Children) - Following the double crisis of the COVID-19 pandemic and the military coup of February 2021, Myanmar and its people continue to suffer from a highly volatile and unstable political situation and an increasing socio-economic deterioration. As a consequence of the military coup conflict has, in addition, expanded into areas that were formerly stable, affecting an increasing number of people. This situation has a major impact on access of children and youth to basic education. Myanmar is facing an acute learning crisis, affecting particularly the most vulnerable children and youth. Schools closures, due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the coup of February 2021, in combination with the resulting political and socio-economic crisis have negatively affected the learning of millions of children. The context is characterised by an increased politisation of education, and a deteriorating security situation, resulting in a number of barriers preventing the most vulnerable children¿s access to basic education.&nbsp;The Overall Objective of this action is to contribute to re-engagement with learning and continuity of access to quality, inclusive and equity-focused basic education for the most vulnerable children and youth in Myanmar. The Specific Objectives of this action are to:1)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Improve safe and equitable access to learning for the most vulnerable children and youth in the targeted areas; 2)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Increase availability of equity-focused quality teaching and learning for the most vulnerable children and youth in the targeted areas;3)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Strengthen community, coordination, management and data systems to support the most vulnerable children and youth to access quality basic education.&nbsp;This action will contribute to the operationalisation of the Joint Response Framework (JRF) for the education sector, which has been prepared by development partners in response to the education crisis in Myanmar. More specifically, the action contributes to the basic education component of the JRF and has been jointly developed with Finland, who is also co-financing it. The action will be closely coordinated with other programmes funded by other donors in support of the JRF. The action will ensure a do no harm and conflict sensitive methodology, while a specific focus will be on ensuring an inclusive and gender balanced approach aiming at equity, strongly reflecting human rights-based considerations. In the absence of a MIP 2021-27 for Myanmar, this action is prepared as a Special Measure for adoption in 2022.&nbsp;This action contributes to SDG 4 `Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all¿. It also contributes to SDG 5 on gender equality, SDG 8 on decent work and economic growth, and SDG10 on reduced inequalities.
