The Government of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar (GoRUM) gives the highest priority to poverty alleviation. In May 2011, the Government organized national level workshop on Rural Development and Poverty Alleviation and articulated a National Strategy on Poverty Alleviation and Rural Development (NSPARD). NSPARD aimed at contributing to the national goal of decreasing the rate of poverty by half from 32 percent in 2005 to 16 percent by 2015, and commits to taking a people-centred approach t o rural development. It focuses on eight priority areas: 1) agricultural production; 2) livestock and fisheries production; 3) rural productivity and cottage industry; 4) micro savings and credit enterprises; 5) rural cooperatives; 6) rural socio-economy; 7) rural renewable energy; and 8) environmental conservation.
