Antecedentes

In September 2018, the Ministry of Planning and Finance (MoPF) launched the Myanmar Sustainable Development Plan (MSDP), with a key objective of “giving coherence to the policies and institutions necessary to achieve genuine, inclusive and transformational economic growth”. The Myanmar Sustainable Development Plan (MSDP) is the Government of Myanmar’s overall vision for achieving sustainable development for Myanmar in line with the global 2030 agenda. The MSDP will provide structure and coordination of Myanmar’s different ministerial and sectoral development strategies. The document is structured around three pillars and sets goals in 5 areas of sustainable development: peace& good governance, economic stability, job creation, human resources & social development, and natural resources & environment. Each goal references relevant existing strategic documents and sets out action plans/strategies with broad result statements that also identify which ministry or agency of government is responsible for implementation.

The Government’s mechanism of choice for implementation of the MSDP is the project bank, a screening mechanism that will vet projects designed to achieve progress toward the achievement of result statements under the relevant strategies.The MoPF and MDI are still in the process of desiging the implementation arragments for the MSDP and have identified the following areas as key priorities:

Ensuring systems and tools for MSDP implementation are prepared in a coherent manner across the whole plan;
Ensuring that there is coherence among the 3 Pillars of the MSDP;
Establish a monitoring and evaluation framework for the MSDP;

In particular, the MSDP highlights that a coherent and consistent government-wide monitoring and evaluation framework is critical in the implementation of the MSDP in terms of tracking and measuring its effectiveness, efficiency, sustainability and impact throughout the implementation period. An MSDP Implementation Unit (MIU) is to be convened with staff from MoPF and other ministries to monitor implementation of the MSDP and ensure coordination across the government.

The process for developing this monitoring framework - called National Indicator Framework (NIF) - was designed by the CSO with support of the Myanmar Development Institute (MDI) and UNDP.The process for drawing up this NIF is proceeding in phases. Based on an indicator mapping in July 2018 (Phase1) , 13 task teams consisting of government and development partners met repeatedly and developed a draft NIF in December 2018 with 280 indicators (Phase 2). As of April 2019, the phase 3 of NIF process is on-going, in which the second round consultations have been completed and the drat one NIF has been distributed for comments. The process so far was facilitated by UNDP with the support of an International Advisor specializing in the development of monitoring frameworks.

The resulting Draft One NIF has the following characteristics:

40% of proposed indicators are SDG indicators, which facilitates global reporting and regional comparability of development outcomes;
72% of indicators are readily measurable;
72% of indicators are strategic level (outcome and impact) indicators;
Crosscutting principles are well mainstreamed across the strategies.

The remaining work of the phase 3 of the NIF process is to compile the comments from different stakeholders and produce the second draft NIF, which will be presented at a final consultation round in June 2019 and will produce the final draft of the NIF. Then, the final draft of the NIF will be submitted for cabinet approval.

In Phase 4, following approval of the NIF, metadata will be developed with the support of UNDP. This will conducted by a statistics specialist in a separate assignment.

In parallel to the NIF completion, UNDP and UNICEF support the Ministry of Planning and Finance in assessing Myanmar’s state M&E framework based on a regional methodology, in order to provide the evidence base for a national M&E system that would be capable to coordinate the monitoring against the NIF and the regular review of the MSDP. As a background for the assessment UNDP and UNICEF are producing a regional lessons-leanred paper on M&E.

Against the above background, UNDP is seeking to engage an international advisor for Monitoring of the MSDP to support the MoPF and MDI in completing the remaining process (phase 3) of the development of the NIF. This assignment will have two key components: 1) completing the phase 3 of the NIF development process, and 2) finalizing the regional lesson learned paper for MSDP M&E plan.
