"Welcome to the second issue of the FAO Myanmar Newsletter
in 2018 featuring highlights of FAO’s recent achievements
towards national priorities and global commitment to eradicate
hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition in our life time. This
edition is now the sixth issue of our quarterly newsletter since it
started in March 2017! Having in mind that Myanmar is subject
to various challenges that can stress agricultural livelihoods and
undermine national food and nutrition security, much of our
recent work has focused on identifying the nexus between
climate change, natural disasters and poverty and how this
nexus can be best addressed for the benefit of the poorest
communities. FAO Myanmar remains committed to enhance
resilience of vulnerable communities through restoring,
protecting and improving livelihood opportunities. In May 2018,
a team of experts from FAO HQ, regional and country office, in
collaboration with WFP and with the support of the Government
of Myanmar, successfully conducted a mission to assess the
food security situation in Rakhine State. As forests constitute
the dominant ecosystem in Myanmar, with 44.2% of the
country’s land area, we have also continued actions to mitigate the impact of climate change through the establishment of the
National Forest Inventory System under the umbrella of the UN
-REDD Programme. With the aim of addressing the underlying
causes of malnutrition, we have been also supporting the
development of the Multi Sector National Plan of Action for
Nutrition (MS-NPAN) through “Food and Nutrition Security
Impact, Resilience, Sustainability and Transformation” (FIRST)
Programme, funded by FAO and the European Union. Finally,
recognizing the huge contribution of the livestock sector to
food security and the overall wellbeing of smallholders, we
have been supporting the development of policies and
guidelines to implement a national programme recognizing the
role of the Community Animal Health Workers (CHAW). While,
in the poultry sector we have also advanced in improving farm
biosecurity in Yangon Poultry Production Zone (PPZ) through
the Emergency Centre for Transboundary Animal Diseases
(ECTAD)..."
