The first five-year plan of the 15-year project of narcotic drugs elimination had achieved success due to the cooperation of the ministries. Now the second five-year plan has entered the third year. The second plan covers 20 townships as well as the 22 townships that have been included in the first plan. So the respective work groups have doubled their efforts as the project is covering 42 townships.

In addition, the new destiny project, part of the 15-year project, has made the cultivation of poppy acreage decrease significantly. As regards cooperation with the international community, MANA hosted the 14^th IFNGO Meeting in Myanmar on 2 December 2004 with 80 representatives and 40 observers from foreign countries.
