From July 7 to 10, the delegation assessed priorities in areas including livelihoods, education, healthcare, and environmental protection, while also conducting site inspections and market studies. The delegation will also carry out similar assessments in Ayeyawady Region and Nay Pyi Taw before finalising the project's implementation plans.
