Prior to 2020, Myanmar was one of Asia's most rapidly growing economies and the share of the population having access to energy had increased considerably in recent years. However, the combined effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the political crisis following the coup d'etat of 2021 have deeply affected Myanmar's population, halting a decade of progress on economic development and poverty reduction in the country. The present political, economic and social crisis is expected to last for years. Currently it is estimated that nearly half of Myanmar's population is living below the national poverty line, a level of impoverishment not seen in the country since 2005¹. The current political crisis has a major impact on the population's access to energy, in particular access to electricity and clean cooking solutions."}, {"bbox": [95, 1072, 1161, 1205], "category": "Text", "text": "In such a critical and uncertain context with massive and increasing needs of the people, and following the adoption of a first Special Measure in 2021, a new Special Measure is proposed for 2022.
