ACCELERATING ENERGY ACCESS FOR ALL IN MYANMARUnited Nations Development ProgrammeMYANMARMay 2013
UNDP Assessment of the Energy Sector in Myanmar
Despite having rich energy resources, it’s the most energy poor country in Asia in terms energy access.

Introduction Country Background
Energy Access Challenges
Energy Access Solutions Conclusions
Capacity Development
• Capacity development programmes should be aimed at both local government institutions and households.
• Their focus should also be energy users such as households, village leaders, civil society and local entrepreneurs.
• Not only disseminating information to consumers but receiving feedback about what they want—through feasibility studies, surveys, and an appreciation for the particular energy services they desire.
Conducting comprehensive
assessment of rural energy resources as well as demand and
supply
Compiling inventories of best practices, quality
services, and affordable
technologies
Developing rural energy initiatives
and strengthening governance structure
Community Mobilization funds and productive energy
• Couple energy access programmes with community development funds (CDFs).
• CDFs create revenue to promote women’s empowerment, skills enhancement, better management of technology, and income generation.
• Example: Nepal’s CDF attached to microhydro diffusion, which offered $400,000 in total for the promotion of non-lighting uses of electricity like agro-processing, poultry farming, carpentry workshops, ice making, water supply, etc.
Income Generation and
Poverty Reduction from
Productive Use of Modern Energy
Improving efficiency or productivity of existing activities
Expanding existing
operations beyond
daylight hours
Establishing new energy
based enterprises
Improving operation of schools and
public services
Employing local people
in energy service delivery
Conclusions
Energy Access Crisis exists in Myanmar
Positive synergies exist between
expanding energy access and
accomplishing MDG’s and other
sustainable development goals
Distinct opportunities exist—
for both the government, and for
development partners to overcome
Myanmar’s challenges
The ability of the poor to utilize energy
for productive purposes is a crucial aspect of the energy
access goal in Myanmar
