6.3 The private sector

Private sector involvement in SLM activities is still very rare in Myanmar. Only a few local agricultural and forest plantation companies keen to address SLMSFM for enhancing their own activities make some indirect contribution. Large-scale investors are still waiting for a favourable business environment as the country transitions from a highly centralized to an open market economy. 102 References Ba Kaung. 2006.
