Myanmar Action Plan on Disaster Risk Reduction, 2017

The Myanmar Action Plan on Disaster Risk Reduction is a disaster risk reduction roadmap covering prioritized interventions across Myanmar until 2020. With a long-term vision and awareness of deep-rooted underlying drivers of disaster risk, it has set overall targets for 2030. It aims to provide a foundation for mobilizing and leveraging national and external resources and result-oriented outcomes. 

The action plan has identified 32-priority actions under the four pillars, namely:

  1. Risk information and awareness
  2. Risk governance
  3. Risk mitigation
  4. Preparedness for response, rehabilitation and reconstruction

Each priority action has identified objectives, activities, outputs, duration and lead ministry/department. Also, other departments and partners to support the lead agency have been identified. The priority actions aim to strengthen policy framework and systems for long-term risk reduction.
