This project seeks to reduce the vulnerability of farmers in Myanmar’s Dry Zone to increasing drought and rainfall variability, as well as enhance their capacity to plan for and respond to future climate change impacts on food security. The strategy is to reduce the risks and effects from recurring droughts, floods and erosion through an integrated water management, crop and livestock adaptation programme in five of the most vulnerable townships of Myanmar’s Dry Zone. This programme will be based on principles of local empowerment and implemented by grassroots organizations such as farmer groups, communal forest user groups, community-based organizations and local NGOs. It is anticipated to reduce food insecurity and losses from extreme climate events in 42,000 households.
