| Abstract | The power generation sector in Myanmar is facing public resistance, partly due to a lack of meaningful and inclusive public participation in this policy process. Public participation and meaningful policy deliberation are currently overlooked in the development of power generation projects. This study examines the issue by employing a qualitative research design, including documentary research and semi-structured interviews with key policy actors. The findings reveal three major categories of challenges, namely, institutional, perceptional, and capacity-related, that impede meaningful public participation in power generation projects. To address these challenges, the study proposes to redesign the project development process to integrate public inputs, drawing lessons from a participatory design approach. |
