The new GMS Strategic Framework 2012-2022 has been adopted at the 4th GMS Summit in Nay Pyi Taw, Myanmar in December 2011. The new Strategic Framework (SF) is anchored on the corridor-development approach, which provides the spatial and thematic focus to the program going forward. The new framework expands the GMS Program from conventional infrastructure to multi-sector investments designed to foster economic corridor development, involving stronger cross-sectoral linkages, better consideration of regional economic development’s spatial aspects, more local stakeholder involvement, and more effective monitoring and evaluation.
