As part of the design and preparation of the National Community-Driven Development project, the Department of Rural Development as the implementing agency as well as the World Bank have carried out a series of discussions and consultations with a range of stakeholders to learn from previous experiences with community-based approaches in Myanmar, answer questions about the project, and refine the project's design.
Below is a list of discussions that have taken place to date, and those planned for the future. The suggestions raised in these discussions have and will continue to inform the project design and implementation process.
