Project Description:

The project was aimed to assist approximately 21,000 persons living in over 3,900 households across 32 target villages in Rathedaung township to develop sustainable livelihoods; meaning that they would become food secure and have higher incomes, be more resilient to economic shocks and natural disaster, and be better able to manage intra-communal tensions that presently hold back community development.

1. Increased sources and level of income of target households;

2. Increased capacity of target communities to manage forests, water resources and preparation for/response to disasters;

3. Improved conditions for sustained livelihoods through increased social cohesion between and within communities.
