Supporting sustainable economic development in vulnerable communities of Myanmar

Under the proposed intervention, Acted will support 47,830 vulnerable individuals in Myanmar to address their most urgent humanitarian needs, whilst supporting “graduation” towards sustainable livelihoods, to strengthen vulnerable communities’ long-term economic resilience. Through four phases of programming, Acted will work in Kayah and Rakhine States, as well as in Yangon, to meet critical food security, nutrition, and non-food item (NFI) needs; to support vocational training, internship, and business development opportunities – focussing on innovative “green” job opportunities; and to promote the adoption of sustainable climate-smart agriculture techniques. This package of economic development initiatives will be facilitated through the promotion of a supportive ecosystem for social entrepreneurship in Myanmar, in a flagship ‘3Zero House’.
