Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureSustainable cropland and forest management in priority agro-ecosystems of Myanmar (SLM-GEF Project) 2020
Also available in:
No results found.The Sustainable Cropland and Forest Management in Priority Agro-ecosystems of Myanmar (SLM-GEF project) has been under way for two years. Within these two years, the SLM-GEF project has focused on building the capacity of farming and forestry stakeholders to mitigate climate change and improve land conditions by adopting climate-smart agriculture (CSA), sustainable forest management (SFM), and sustainable land management (SLM) policies and practices. This publication will mainly focus on general interest in SLM-GEF project information and project activities. -

Project code: GCP/MYA/017/GFF - GEF ID: 5123 - FAO Project ID: 618969
2023Also available in:
No results found.The project aimed to build the capacity of farming and forestry stakeholders to mitigate climate change and improve land conditions by adopting climate-smart agriculture and sustainable forest management policies and practices. Its geographical focus was five townships in three priority agroecosystem zones: Ayeyarwady Delta, Central Dry Zone, and an upland, shifting cultivation zone. There were two executing partners of equal status: the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environmental Conservation and the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Irrigation. The project maintained its alignment with stakeholder priorities despite some major changes that occurred between the project’s initial design and the terminal evaluation. Effectiveness overall was moderately satisfactory, with a mixed picture in achieving outputs and outcomes, and major hindrances stemming from COVID-19 and the political emergency rule. Recommendations included: future similar projects should have a bridging phase in order to plan a follow-up project for broader implementation; and centralized monitoring systems should be created along with exit strategies. Available institutional resource bases must account for the replication and scalability of project-piloted approaches and models – and avoid “development islands”. -

The LUP process in the pilot areas was designed to follow national policies, laws, rules, regulations, and existing guidelines developed for enhancing agricultural production, protection and conservation of ecosystem forestlands. -
Book (stand-alone)HandbookHandbook for Farmer Field School on climate smart agriculture in upland/hill zone of Chin State, Myanmar 2019
Also available in:
The FAO is implementing a project entitled “Sustainable Cropland and forest management in priority agro-ecosystems of Myanmar (SLM-GEF)” in coordination with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environmental Conservation (MoNREC) and the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Irrigation (MoALI) with funding from the Global Environment Facility (GEF). The project promotes climate smart agriculture (CSA) policies and practices at different levels in Myanmar. In the field, the project is active in five pilot Townships from three different agro-ecological zones implementing various relevant CSA initiatives mainly using Farmer Field Schools (FFS) models. In order to implement FFS effectively in a proper way, the project has developed FFS Curricula for each of the above mentioned three agro-ecological zones with support from AVSI Foundation as a Service Provider. Similarly, the project has developed a FFS Handbook for each agro-ecological zone both in Myanmar and English version with support from AVSI Foundation as a Service Provider. This handbook is intended to help the Extension Workers, FFS Facilitators and FFS Committee/farmers to implement FFS on CSA techniques and practices in different agro-ecological zones and scaling up the learnings in similar areas of Myanmar. -
Book (stand-alone)HandbookHandbook on climate smart agriculture in Myanmar 2019
Also available in:
The FAO is implementing a project entitled “Sustainable Cropland and forest management in priority agro-ecosystems of Myanmar (SLM-GEF)” in coordination with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environmental Conservation (MoNREC) and the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Irrigation (MoALI) with funding from the Global Environment Facility (GEF). The project promotes climate smart agriculture (CSA) policies and practices at different levels in Myanmar. One of the key activities of the project is to establish a national CSA/SLM training program mainstreaming CSA/SLM in the agriculture related academic courses and trainings conducted by Yezin Agricultural University (YAU), State Agricultural Institutes (SAI), Department of Agriculture (DoA) and Department of Agriculture Research (DAR). In order to integrate CSA within the research, extension, training and development programs, the project has made efforts to revise/develop the curricula integrating CSA topics for example: i) CSA component integrated into the Masters and Bachelor level courses on Agriculture at YAU; ii) CSA component integrated into the Diploma in Agriculture course at SAIs; iii) one month training on CSA together with other subjects for the in-service or refresher course at Central Agriculture Research and Training Centre (CARTC) under DoA and iv) one week intensive Training of Trainers (ToT) programme aiming for the researchers, extension agents and teachers of DoA, DAR and YAU. Similarly, the project has also developed a CSA Handbook both in Myanmar and English versions with support from AVSI Foundation as a Service Provider. This handbook is intended to serve as a main reference/resource book for the researchers, extension agents, professors/lecturers/teachers and farmers to learn and teach CSA in Myanmar.
