Project Overview
• Project Objective: Increasing Myanmar's efforts towards climate change mitigation by minimizing GHG emissions through the application of integrated low-emission wastewater treatments and the Transfer of Environmentally Sound Technologies (TEST).
• Donor: Global Environment Facility (GEF)
• Budget: GEF Grant: 3,984,589 USD, Co-financing: 19,105,322 USD
Project Preparation Grant (PPG): 125,000 USD
• Duration: 5 years
• Lead partner: Department of Urban and Housing Development, Ministry of Construction
• Status: The project is currently in the design phase (PPG) of the project document, with activities expected to start on the ground in 2019, upon approval by the GEF.

The Global Environment Facility (GEF)
• Established in October 1991 to assist in the protection of the global environment and to promote environmental sustainable development.
• Financial mechanism to fund a number of multilateral agreements such as the Montreal Protocol and the UNFCCC.
• Provides new and additional grants and concessional funding to cover the "incremental" or additional costs associated with transformative projects with national benefits into ones with global environmental benefits. It is presently a US$ 4.0 Billion Fund over four year cycles.

Government submits FSP to GEF Focal
Point in the country for endorsement and
submission to GEF
FSP to be Cleared by GEF Secretariat
before approval by GEF Council
Ring-Fenced Funds are released and main project can

Increasing efforts
towards CC mitigation
Policy level
Pilot scale demonstrations
in industrial zones & at
company level
Capacity Building
Awareness
Raising
TEST approach first looks at resource
efficiency &Pollution prevention
In combination the application of low-
emission wastewater treatment technologies
will be assessed
15
TEST integrated tools
Cleaner Production Assessments
Material Flow Cost Accounting (MFCA)
Environmental Management Systems (EMS)
Energy Management System (EnMS)
Corporate Social Responsibility
TEST Methodology“Transfer of Environmentally Sound Technologies”
The TEST approach builds on the "audit-like" approach of traditional Cleaner Production, incorporating a system approach to offer tailor-made solutions to industry.
It is an integrated approach where different tools are applied in industries through a standard methodology.
16
Added value for Industry
Increased productivity, reduced operational costs, optimized investments;
Minimized environmental compliance costs, reduced business risks and smaller environmental/carbon footprint;
Compliance with international environmental standards for accessing new markets (global supply chains and export markets, new green markets, public procurement, etc.);
Secured long-term supply of production inputs: the adoption of a resource-efficiency strategy can mitigate the effects of disruptions and price volatility in the raw materials supply chain;
Improved relationship with stakeholders (investors, banks, regulatory bodies, local communities, consumer associations, etc.).
