ProjectFactsheetIntegrated Home and School Gardens for Food Security in Myanmar - TCP/MYA/3505 2019
Also available in:
No results found.Myanmar is undergoing a trend of urbanization, bringing new opportunities and challenges, and changing the underlying causes of malnutrition in urban and peri-urban areas. The current project was designed to explore innovative opportunities to reduce food insecurity and malnutrition in Dala and Hlegu Townships, two rapidly changing peri-urban areas in Yangon. The project aimed at improving the diversity and use of nutrient-rich safe foods through a combination of agriculture and nutrition training and the establishment of hydroponic home and school gardens. Target groups included third and fourth grade schoolchildren in five identified schools, teachers/principals, and women from households with school children as well as from households receiving hydroponic gardens. -

ProjectFactsheetImprovement of Data Collection on Fisheries and Aquaculture Production: Pilot System for the Yangon Region - TCP/MYA/3601 2020
Also available in:
No results found.Reliable and detailed fishery statistics are a key todeveloping sound policies, better decision-making andresponsible fisheries management. Such information isalso essential for assessing the validity of fisheries policyover the years and for tracking the performance offisheries management. For some years, FAO has noted aconstant and impressive increase of capture andaquaculture production officially reported by Myanmar.Marine catches reported in 2013 were 5.5 times those in1996 and inland water catch statistics have grown at arate of 15.5 percent per year since 1999. Speciesbreakdown of capture fishery statistics is very poor,however, with marine catches reported by only threehighly aggregated species items and no breakdown beingmade for inland water catches. Following an FAO missionin November 2014, recommendations were made toimprove Myanmar’s data collection system for fisheriesstatistics. Given the size of the country, it was decided todevelop a pilot project in the Yangon Region in order totest and gain experience on the structure and constraintsof the new data collection system. After the local pilotphase, the system would be extended to the nationallevel.

ProjectProgramme / project reportMyanmar Community Livelihood Assistance Project : Boosting Food Production Capacity to Address Food Security and Resilient Livelihoods in Crisis-Affected Regions/States of Myanmar
Project concept note
2024Also available in:
No results found.This project proposes a conflict-sensitive, integrated programme aimed at building resilience in Myanmar’s most affected and vulnerable communities facing multiple shocks, including conflict, climate risks, and economic crises. The programme will focus on Chin, Kayah, Kayin, Rakhine, and Sagaing states, where food security and agricultural livelihoods are most severely impacted. Grounded in participatory context analysis, interventions will be designed to address the specific vulnerabilities and needs of displaced, returnee, and host populations. FAO’s efforts will include rehabilitating the agricultural sector through both short- and long-term assistance, utilizing a Cash Plus modality that combines cash transfers with agricultural inputs and technical support. By promoting community-based recovery, disaster risk management, and sustainable agricultural practices, the programme seeks to reduce dependency on humanitarian aid and foster long-term development and peace. Through this integrated approach across the Humanitarian-Development-Peace Nexus, FAO aims to improve food security, enhance social cohesion, and increase resilience to multiple shocks, ultimately contributing to the recovery and stability of conflict-affected communities. -
