NDA Strengthening & Strategic Frameworks

The proposal seeks USD 399,226 over 24 months to establish a web-based Decision Support System (DSS) to improve climate risk assessment and investment monitoring in Myanmar's Agriculture, Forest and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector. Using the Chindwin River Basin as a pilot, the project aims to strengthen coordination between national and sub-national authorities, develop streamlined climate indicators, and create a project pipeline for full-scale GCF funding. The initiative is implemented by the FAO in collaboration with the Environment Conservation Division (ECD) of the Ministry of Natural Resources, Environment and Conservation (MONREC).

• Myanmar is highly vulnerable to climate change, ranking as the third most affected country globally between 1998-2017 according to the Global Climate Risks Index 2019.
• The Chindwin River Basin is selected as the pilot site because it is the largest tributary of the Ayeyarwady river, covers 17% of the country's territory, and is the first river in Myanmar with an established River Basin Organization (RBO) and River Basin Committee (RBC).
• The project will develop a web-based Decision Support System (DSS) to assess climate risks, monitor climate investments, and track impacts specifically within the Agriculture, Forest and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector.
• A primary goal is to bridge existing knowledge gaps and institutional coordination challenges between union, state, division, and district levels to enable ecosystem-based climate planning.
• The project includes the development of a full-scale GCF project proposal for the Chindwin River Basin, which involves conducting emissions assessments, value chain analyses, and financial feasibility studies.
• The total requested funding for the 24-month project is USD 399,226, which includes costs for international and local consultants, IT equipment, and training workshops.
• The project aims to integrate gender-disaggregated data and ensure the participation of women, ethnic minorities, and local communities in the DSS and planning processes.
