Synopsis (short abstract) A beneficiary story about one recipient. FAO, with funding from the Central Emergency Response Fund, has provided support to boost the livelihoods of 3 300 conflict- and flood-affected households (around 18 000 individuals) in both Muslim and Rakhine Buddhist communities in Maungdaw and Buthidaung townships. Beneficiaries have received winter crop seeds to increase food availability and recover from losses felt after the floods, as well as small livestock which can increase income opportuniti es and provide animal protein. The latter is particularly urgent in Rakhine, where rates of Severe Acute Malnutrition are higher than the critical threshold identified by the World Health Organization.

    The fisheries and aquaculture sector is particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, including more frequent extreme weather events such as storms or floods. In the aftermath of disasters, FAO has implemented projects to support small-scale fish farmers and strengthen their resilience. It has also assisted farmers, where traditional crops are no longer a reliable livelihood. This factsheet highlights such initiatives in Dominica, Malawi and Cameroon.

This paper discusses these challenges at length and provides some guidance on methodological and operational modalities to tease out these nuances that better inform public policy and the choice of technical and policy interventions. Specific advice on models, data and applications is provided.
