Abstract

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.

Abstract

This paper presents the initial findings from six rounds of research conducted between 2012 and 2016 on livelihoods and social change in rural Myanmar, undertaken as part of the Qualitative Social and Economic Monitoring initiative. These data provide unique insights into the ways in which broad processes of democratization and globalization-put into effect following Myanmar's historic reforms beginning in 2011-are experienced at the village level. The analysis focuses on three key aspects of the "social contract": local governance mechanisms, shifting expectations of the state, and changes in the types of networks connecting villagers to regional and global markets. Remarkable social progress has been made in Myanmar since 2012, yet there are no grounds for complacency. Managing ongoing transformations in these three domains, in ways perceived to be locally legitimate and effective, will be crucial if the initial gains are to be consolidated and expanded.
