Validation Workshop for Revised Work Plan of “Sustainable Cropland and Forest Management in Priority Agro-ecosystems of Myanmar” Project

The Project was officially launched in July 2016 and has since been subject to an inception phase and the early stages of implementation.  During the first half of 2017 the project’s managerial structures and work plan have been revised following the findings of the component-wise needs assessments and a series of consultations made with the concerned Government Departments and other relevant stakeholders.

A validation workshop was organised jointly by FD, DoA and FAO on 20 June 2017 in Hotel Royal Ace, Nay Pyi Taw with the representatives from the project’s primary stakeholders to validate the revised work-plan and managerial structures and provide additional advice for the road ahead.
