Abstract
Myanmar has a unique opportunity to
enable people’s participation in change by promoting
transparency and accountability throughout the public
sector, including in revenue collection, the management of
public expenditure, public policy making, and service
provision. This can have a pivotal impact on the
effectiveness of the public sector and thereby its ability
to promote inclusive growth. In Myanmar, the public sector’s
historically narrow revenue base and its limited role in
public service delivery have led to weak development
outcomes. A history of opacity and lack of public engagement
in policymaking have fueled corruption and compounded the
loss of public trust in government.
