Myanmar, the second most vulnerable country to disasters and climate extremes globally, is at a moment of unprecedented institutional, economic and social change.
The Building Resilience and Adaptation to Climate Extremes and Disasters (BRACED) Myanmar Alliance Project (2015 – 2017) aims to contribute to this transition, from household to national policy level, through building the resilience of over 350,000 individuals – especially women, children and disadvantaged groups - in 155 villages in 8 townships across hilly, dry and coastal ecological zones in Myanmar.
This report presents results achieved by the BRACED Myanmar Alliance project and its partners from January 2015 to March 2017.
