Promotion of Waste to Energy Technologies in the Rice Milling Sector in Myanmar for Access to Energy for Productive Activities The Union of Myanmar is a predominantly agrarian economy with 21.6 million tons of rice generated annually, which has the potential of generating 4.3 million tons of rice husk as waste that can be used as feed stock to generate energy and provide access to clean energy in the rural areas. The country has currently an energy policy goal of encouraging energy independence, expanding the grid to rural areas, promoting energy efficiency, alleviating poverty and leapfrogging to cleaner renewable energy technologies, as well as increasing electricity supply from renewable energy resources by at least 15-20% by 2020. The government has set a clear target of electrifying 20,000 villages per year during 2014 and 2015. This project will promote agro Waste-to-Energy (WTE) for providing access to energy for productive uses in the country. It will build capacities in the MSTRD and other technical institutions to improve gasification and mini-grid technologies in Myanmar and demonstrate the technology using rice husk as feedstock to generate electricity for productive use, in those villages that lack access to energy.

Pilot National Resource Efficient and Cleaner Production Programme for Myanmar The proposed pilot national RECP programme in Myanmar is aimed at improving resource efficiency and environmental performance of ent erprises, in particular Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs), through the adaptation and adoption of internationally proven RECP methods and techniques. The design and core activities of the pilot programme have been tailored to the present transitional stage in the socio-economic development of the country, which is characterized by: relatively weak institutions and governance; defaults in national environmental policy framework; rapid change-over in government and resulting uncertainty about policy direction. Specific outputs pertain to enabling multi-stakeholder dialogues; technical capacity building for RECP service delivery; and industry demonstrations. Food, textile and hotel sectors are specifically targeted given the current and expected future contributions of these sectors to the economy at large, their potential for job creation and development of SMEs and their significant resource-use and pollution footprints. The pilot programme will furthermore operate in two regions, respectively Yangon and Mandalay, to underpin the national relevance and scale of the pilot programme.
Fostering Pro-Poor and Inclusive MSME Development in Myanmar (Preparatory and Pilot Phase) Myanmar is mainly an exporter of agricultural and other primary products. Thus, UNIDO sees an opportunity to strengthen these key in dustries by leveraging Myanmar's advantage to produce and export a wide range of high added value agricultural products such as grain, vegetables and fruits as well as marine products. The current project has been funded by the Italian Development Cooperation in its preparatory and inception phase; based on the find ings and the renewed interest of the Government of Italy in assisting the development interventions in Myanmar, particularly towards the creation of job opportunities for youth and women, the current project has received a positive feedback both from the Governmen t of Myanmar and the GoI. Negotiations with EU are ongoing to ensure further funding to expand the project scope and impact within the new programming cycle in the country.  The Government has endorsed five objectives for Myanmar#s industrial sector:  1. Development of agro-based industries; 2. Qualitative and quantitative improvement of industrial products; 3. Production of new industrial items; 4. Manufacture of industrial equipment; and 5. Acquisition of good opportunities required for the industrialization
