Project Description

The project supports Myanmar's priorities to promote private sector development through creating a more conducive business environment that attracts domestic and foreign private sector investment and stimulates sustainable economic growth in Myanmar. Specifically, the project will provide advisory services to the Myanmar government and the private sector to: i) strengthen the role of the private sector in the policy reform process, and ii) support legal and regulatory reform and the streamlining of administrative procedures. The project is broken down into three components: (1) establishment of a public-private dialogue (PPD) platform through the Myanmar Business Forum (MBF); (2) improve business regulation in Myanmar through institutional support and implementation of initial regulatory reforms; and (3) improve trade logistics.
