Sustained Efforts to Expand Partnerships with National and International Organizations

 

1. Collaboration with FAO for agriculture damage assessment used in UAVs mapping of flood area in Magway Region

The department of UAV Research, MAEU cooperated with UN-FAO since 2016 in generating the applied map for agricultural damage assessment of the area affected by flood disaster in Magway Division Region. Then, the applied mapping of the pre-disaster management was generated for the along of Mone-Chaung, Mann-Chaung branches of Ayeyarwady River by using the UAVs of our department.

3. Collaboration with UN-FAO and MOALI for Four Drones Supporting & Task Force Training

The department of UAV Research of MAEU, Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Irrigation Myanmar and FAO carried out altogether for upgrading agricultural techniques using drones. Two Fixed-wing UAVs for surveying agriculture areas and two NDVI UAVs for monitoring vegetation growth health were researched and transferred to MOALI. Besides these, the thirty officers from Department of Agriculture and Irrigation Department of MOALI had been trained on Drone Pilot Training, Generating Mapping Training and generating the applied mapping for vegetation growth health assessment Training by our department. The application of UAVs on agriculture was demonstrated to the higher officers from ministries.

8. Technical cooperation with World Bank for Myanmar Power Map Project

The UAV Research department of MAEU, Ministry of Electricity and Energy (MOEE) Myanmar and World Bank cooperatively implemented the Myanmar Power Map (MPM) Database by the use of GPS (GIS) Georeferenced Information System for generating the location map of the 33 and 11 KV electrical power transmission line in Sagaing and Ayeyarwady Regions in 2019. The MPM Electrification Network Database becomes the essential supporting for the project of National Electrification Project (NEP) which is to supply the electricity for the whole country of Myanmar in 2030. And then, the upgrading and maintaining of the electricity supply enterprise can be supported by the application of the MPM Database.
