YANGON (Jan. 5) XINHUA - The Japanese government will
implement two separate technical programs for Myanmar's
Central Forestry Development Training Center (CFDTC) and
the Irrigation Technology Center (ITC).
According to a press release from the Japanese Embassy
here Tuesday, Japan, for the first program, will send two
experts, provide necessary equipment and training in Japan
and third countries, and share the costs of program
activities
from 1999 to 2000.
The CFDTC program, agreed upon by Japan International
Cooperation Agency (JICA) and the Forest Department of
the Myanmar Ministry of Forestry last December, aims to
give aftercare to Yangon division's Hmawby green area, built
in 1988 with Japanese aid.
For the second program for ITC, which will start in April
this
year at Myanmar's Ngamoeik Dam project area in Hlegu,
Bago and end in 2004, Japan will send five experts to
introduce and promote water management technology during
the five years, and provide equipment and training in Japan,
the press release said.
The Japanese government has been in cooperation with the
ITC for 10 years to promote irrigation technology in
Myanmar.
