Myanmar has seen strong economic growth in recent years, experiencing an increase in disposable income and achieving self-sufficiency. Even with these successes, over a quarter of the country still remains in poverty, with the poverty rate twice as high in rural communities. About 70% of the population lives and relies on agriculture for their income. The country’s agricultural sectors are particularly vulnerable to climate impacts, suffering on average a 30% loss and damage due to extreme weather events.

Our work in Myanmar has ended. We would like to thank our generous donors and great partners for their support in providing farmers and entrepreneurs with the tools that they need to increase their incomes and make their livelihoods more efficient.
