Promoting Sustainable Growth of Aquaculture in Myanmar to Improve Food Security and Income for Communities in the Ayeyarwady Delta and Central Dry Zone

Abstract

The project funded by Livelihoods and Food Security Fund (LIFT) promoted the sustainable growth of aquaculture in Myanmar by introducing low-cost small-scale aquaculture (SSA) technologies that incorporated small indigenous fish species, mainly with carps and tilapia. The goal was to increase income, food and nutrition security for poor households covering 18 townships in the Ayeyarwady Delta and the Central Dry Zone (CDZ).
