This report summarizes the findings and recommendations of a study on planning and budgeting in Development Affairs Organizations (DAOs) in Myanmar’s states and regions. The study looked at the overall institutional and financing framework for DAOs, as well as the actual processes and outcomes of DAO planning and budgeting. The report also includes a set of broad suggestions as to how the government (at both the Union and state/region levels) might address some key issues related to DAO planning, budgeting, and service delivery, and how Myanmar’s development partners might provide appropriate assistance.
