Management planning is lacking in several of Myanmar's National Parks and so needs to be completed, along with PA staff training to enable effective PA management. Effective and equitable management of PAs is an essential component of Target 11. There are
currently serious deficiencies in national capacity for PA management, including budgeting, staffing, equipment and capacity to implement collaborative management approaches. The global standard for measuring PA management effectiveness is the Management Effectiveness Tracking Tool {METT). Developed by GEF, METT is intended to report progress regarding management effectiveness of a PA in terms of context, planning, inputs, processes, outputs, and outcomes. The completion of a METT by all PAs is a crucial first step in identifying the strengths and weaknesses of each site, and determining what steps should be taken in order to improve management quality.
