ENI Foundation

We worked to improve food safety and access to clean water, and to promote health in three cities of the Magway region: Myothit, Magwaye Minhla. The affected area spread over 5700 square km, while the east-west extension was approx. 160 km, and the project beneficiaries were over 600 thousand people. The project focused on three sectors in particular: services to extend agriculture and water for irrigation; safe water supply, hygiene and sanitation services; basic healthcare services in the townships. In the course of 2017, feasibility studies were completed with the support of the University of Milan and the National Health Institute (ISS). The Memorandum of Understanding was signed by the Department of Public Health at the Ministry of Health and Sport, in the presence of the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Irrigation. With the guaranteed full support of the Ministry of Health and Sport and the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Irrigation, the Eni Foundation has committed to funding the project and assuming responsibility for managing it.Eni Foundation’s project, completed in 2020, supported Myanmar’s Government in the struggle against malnourishment and to gain access to clean water.
