Support Food Autonomy and Restore Livelihoods for Vulnerable Populations in Laputta District, Myanmar 
Triangle started operating in Myanmar at the end of 2007 and focused on the Delta region in the wake of cyclone Nargis. Our action in Kungyangon and Laputta districts has constantly sought to improve production means of the various economic sectors (rice, fishing, breeding, handicraft). A combination of anterior national policies and the impact of the cyclone led to a severe crisis currently hitting agriculture and fishing.
Restoring livelihoods for rural populations in the Delta area 
19 months after cyclone Nargis, difficult access to the area and lack of investments make it virtually impossible to revive the populations’ main sources of revenue (agriculture, fishing, breeding, pisciculture,etc.). This project is therefore aimed at strengthening the population’s agricultural produce in order to restore the economic cycle, source of employment and livelihood opportunities, and thus reduce the population’s vulnerability and improve food safety. |

When Cyclone Nargis swept through Burma, as well as compromising the land production capacity for the 2008 harvest, it destroyed or damaged most of the seeds and rice stocked by landowners-farmers and day-workers. The fact that 2008’s production is approximately only 30% of the usual production, and the damage caused by the cyclone, make recruitment and payment (in rice) of the day-workers complicated, especially in terms of the next rainy season’s crops.
