The main objective of the reconciliation exercise for forestry sector was to assist the Government of the Union of Myanmar in identifying the positive contribution that the forestry sector makes to the economic and social development of the country and to realize its potential through improved resource governance that encompasses and fully implements the EITI principles and criteria.

Myanmar is among the very few EITI member countries which cover the forestry sector within their reconciliation scope. To date two Myanmar EITI Forestry Sector Reports have been published for the Financial Years (FYs) 2014-2015 and 2015-2016. The recent third and fourth MEITI Forestry Sector Reports are covered for the FYs 2016-2017 and 2017-2018.

The final assessment of the overall comprehensiveness and reliability of reconciled financial data from Myanma Timber Enterprise and Government Agencies and companies was satisfactory in these MEITI Forestry Sector Reports.
