Duration: January – June 2018
Objective
Uncertainties regarding reform plans for industries in Myanmar, weakness in the support and guidance towards sustainable practices as well as the challenges faced due to high production costs all prevent producers from considering new perspectives and additional long- term beneficial investments. To significantly improve the local industrial environment and to increase economic and environmental benefit, it is crucial to demonstrate to the producers the benefits of RECP options.
The results from the program are valuable as these experiences can be readily applied by industries in Myanmar to help improve their resource efficiency, environmental performance, thus enabling them to be more competitive in local and international markets.
Activities
- Training for capacity building;
- Site survey, data collection and full RECP assessment in on-site 2 missions; and
- Results monitoring and reporting, information dissemination through 2 seminars held on June 25 – 26, 2018 in Yangon.
