Resource information
This report provides a baseline
institutional and regulatory assessment of the oil and gas,
mining (including jade and gemstones) and the hydropower
sectors in Myanmar. As such the report is an input to
Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) in
Myanmar. However, it is not exhaustive with respect to all
the sectors that may be considered under a scoping study for
EITI .This report is the first in-depth study of the context
within which EITI will be implemented in Myanmar, and can
inform broader efforts to improve natural resource
governance. This includes support for developing natural
resource policy, law and regulations, fiscal regime design,
tax administration (including support to the Large Tax
Payers Office on the extractive industries sector), license
management and cadaster systems, community development
agreements, strategic environmental and social mitigation
and management, training needs assessments and capacity
building. The follow-up to this baseline assessment is a
scoping study, which will determine which companies should
be included within the first MEITI report and what payment
flows they will need to report on.
