    From the Worldbank, access to basic infrastructure and services remains a challenge in both rural and urban areas.

    43% of the population has access to the national electricity grid, while road density remains low at 219.8 kilometers per 1,000 square kilometers of land area.

    However, with the recent liberalization of the telecommunications sector, mobile and internet penetration has increased significantly from less than 20% and 10% in 2014, to 126% and 41% respectively in 2020. Myanmar is one of the world’s most disaster-prone countries exposed to multiple hazards, including floods, cyclones, earthquakes, landslides, and droughts, ranking 2nd out of 187 countries in the 2016 Global Climate Risk Index and 9th out of 191 countries in the INFORM Index for Risk Management.
