Myanmar Sustainable Development Plan (2018 – 2030).

The Myanmar Sustainable Development Plan (MSDP) provides a long-term vision; a vision of a peaceful, prosperous and democratic country. Founded upon the objective of giving coherence to the policies and institutions necessary to achieve genuine, inclusive and transformational economic growth, this MSDP has been developed to reinvigorate reform and promote bold action. The MSDP has taken maximum advantage of existing sector and thematic-level plans and policies, and those currently being drafted. In this regard, the MSDP is intended to provide a whole-of-government development framework that offers coherence to these existing strategic documents, ensuring that they are executed in ways that are consistent with macro-level national development priorities. Therefore, the MSDP is the integration and distillation of existing plans and priorities. Furthermore, the MSDP mediates between local developmental needs and global sustainable development agenda by aligning MSDP action plans with global SDG targets.
This MSDP is structured around 3 Pillars, 5 Goals, 28 Strategies and 251 Action Plans aligned with the SDGs, as follows: Goal 1: Peace, National Reconciliation, Security & Good Governance (Strategy 1.1: Secure and further foster Union-wide peace; Strategy 1.2: Promote equitable and conflict-sensitive socio-economic development throughout all States and Regions; Strategy 1.3: Promote greater access to justice, individual rights and adherence to the rule of law; Strategy 1.4: Enhance good governance, institutional performance and improve the efficiency of administrative decision making at all levels; Strategy 1.5: Increase the ability of all people to engage with government).
