| Summary: | The National Community Driven
Development Project (NCDDP) is one of Myanmar’s largest
development programs. Since it started in 2013, NCDDP has
supported over 21,000 basic infrastructure and services
sub-projects in 12,000 villages covering 63 townships,
approximately one-fifth of the country. The project is
implemented by the Department of Rural Development (DRD)
with support from the World Bank and the Governments of
Italy and the United Kingdom. This report reviews
implementation of NCDDP in townships affected by conflict.
It is estimated that a third of townships across Myanmar are
affected by conflict. Given NCDDP operates in rural areas
across the country a similar proportion of the townships
where NCDDP now operates can be defined as
conflict-affected.2 The report: examines overall project
performance in conflict-affected townships; looks at the
effectiveness of specific adaptations to the project that
have been introduced to support implementation in townships
affected by conflict; and examines the influence the project
has had on the broader context in conflict-affected
townships. The aim of the report is to inform on-going NCDDP
operations and adaptations for operations in
conflict-affected townships. The report also aims to inform
broader programs, both from the Government of Myanmar and
the World Bank, by providing lessons on implementing in
conflict-affected areas. |
