Myanmar exhibits poor health outcomes and lags regional peers. Myanmar's Human Capital Index (HCI) score is 0.47, compared to a regional average of 0.60. Every year, 2,000 pregnant women and 50,000 children die from preventable causes, and 29 percent of children under age 5 are stunted. While there are many reasons for these poor outcomes, the effective coverage (access, utilization, and quality) of service delivery in the health sector plays a fundamental role. Budget execution remains prominent among PFM challenges in the health sector, demonstrated by several roadblocks to spending on time and on target. There is an urgent need to better understand the PFM bottlenecks that affect frontline service delivery. Budgeted expenditure for the Ministry of Health and Sports (MoHS) has been increasing, but actual spending has been declining. Budgeted expenditure increased for the MoHS from 0.86 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) in 2014-15 to 1.15 percent of GDP in 2017-18. However, actual expenditure by MoHS has declined from 1.0 percent to 0.8 percent of GDP in the same period. The increase in resources available through the budget allocation process had helped expand access and availability of health services to some extent, but it has not been able to address significantly the major health challenges and achieve better outcomes at population level. This is partly due to weaknesses at several points along the chain of financial management within MoHS and at the point of service delivery. The main objective of this report on PFM in the health sector is to improve service delivery and the efficiency of health financing at all levels of health care in Myanmar. This will be achieved by identifying and analyzing relevant PFM bottlenecks and providing recommendations to address them. Secondary objectives are to deepen the understanding of PFM arrangements in Myanmar's health sector, including the PFM reforms required under the health financing reforms for UHC, and strengthen the communication and coordination between MoHS and MOPFI to ensure sustainability of reforms going forward.

To support socioeconomic development objectives and improve service delivery, the former government of Myanmar issued a public financial management (PFM) reform strategy (2019-2022). Plans were underway to modernize PFM legal and regulatory frameworks, systems, and practices to improve the efficiency of public expenditures and services that are critical for citizens. First Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and then recent political events in Myanmar not only disrupted service delivery, but also emphasized the criticality of public health service delivery. This brief offers a selective overview of a more in-depth assessment of the health sector conducted jointly by the former government and the World Bank in 2020 to support this effort. While it does not take into account the impact of political events that occurred in February 2021, it summarizes the assessment's central findings and recommendations for enhancing health financing, service delivery, and efficiency at all levels of health care, when the conditions are right. The assessment is based on a large survey of health practitioners, including at the frontlines.

This 2017 Article IV Consultation highlights that Myanmar’s economy stabilized in 2016/17. The new government saw a challenging first year with lower-than-expected growth of 5.9 percent in 2016/17 mainly owing to weak agriculture production and exports, and temporary suspension of some construction projects in Yangon. Inflation moderated to 6.8 percent, and the current account deficit fell to about 3.9 percent of GDP in 2016/17 from 5.1 percent 2015/16. The medium-term macroeconomic outlook remains favorable. Growth is expected to rebound to 6.7 percent in 2017/18 mainly supported by a recovering agriculture sector and exports. Higher fiscal spending anticipated in the second half of 2017/18 owing to buoyant tax revenues will also support growth.

Myanmar's National Health Plan (NHP) for 2017-2021 has laid out the vision of achieving Universal Health Coverage (UHC) by 2030. The NHP aims to improve the delivery of health services and financial protection for Myanmar people through substantial investments in frontline service delivery units and through a range of reforms in the health system, including on health financing. This report assesses Myanmar's health financing system. The analysis is structured around three main sets of questions: (i) Who pays for health in Myanmar? Given that the government needs to invest more in the health sector, where could (or should) the money come from; (ii) Are prepaid and pooled funds for health sufficient and equitable? What additional pooling arrangements could Myanmar consider; and (iii) What key steps and reforms are needed for Myanmar to develop the capabilities of a strategic purchaser in the medium term? This Health Financing System Assessment aims to inform health financing policy choices that the Government of Myanmar will need to make as part of the development and implementation of its Health Financing Strategy.

Reforming public-sector organizations--their structures, policies, processes and practices--is notoriously difficult, in rich and poor countries alike. Even in the most favorable of circumstances, the scale and complexity of the tasks to be undertaken are enormous, requiring levels of coordination and collaboration that may be without precedent for those involved. Entirely new skills may need to be acquired by tens of thousands of people. Compounding these logistical challenges is the pervasive reality that circumstances often are not favorable to large-scale reform. Whether a country is rich or poor, the choice is not whether, but how, to reform the public sector--how optimal design characteristics, robust political support, and enhanced organizational capability to implement and adapt will be forged over time. This edited volume helps address the “how†? question. It brings together reform experiences in public financial management and the public sector more broadly from eight country cases in East Asia: Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao People's Democratic Republic, Malaysia, Myanmar, Papua New Guinea, Thailand, and Vietnam. These countries are at different stages of reform; most of the reform efforts would qualify as successes, while some had mixed outcomes, and others could be considered failures. The focus of each chapter is less on formally demonstrating success (or not) of specific reform, but on documenting how reformers maneuvered within different country contexts to achieve specific outcomes. Despite the great difficulty in reforming the public sector, decision-makers can draw renewed energy and inspiration, learning from those countries, sectors, and subnational spaces where substantive (not merely cosmetic) change has been achieved, and they can identify what pitfalls to avoid.

The citizens of Myanmar have been demanding a more transparent government, and the budget is a practical issue area on which civil society can press its government to be accountable, making this topic a desirable research theme. This partnership between the East-Asia Institute and our four Myanmar civil society organizations was born during an uncertain period in Burma. At that time the country was ruled by a so-called reformist pseudo-civilian government and the outcome of the historic 2015 election were still unknown. However, our civil society organizations were determined to push for the emergence of an accountable democratic government. It was very timely because we were well aware of the fact that Myanmar civil society must shift its focus away from service provision to advocacy and research in the changing political context. Secondly, public financial management is crucial to any country’s socioeconomic development and for civil society in Myanmar it is unexplored territory. Very few organizations at that time were involved in budget monitoring or public financial issues. Therefore, the capacity of civil society in this field needs to be strengthened and this project was really essential for improving public financial management and financial accountability. Thirdly, nurturing local researchers, establishing research organizations for policy advocacy, and networking with international think tanks are important agendas for promoting good governance in Myanmar.
