Background

• Delta 1: Post-emergency [2010]
• Delta 2: Development oriented

programme [2011-15]

• Workshop on the Delta 2

Lessons learned with contribution from all IPs (more on LIFT website)

SLIDE 4

Four components

• Component 1: To strengthen the smallholder farmer position in the

rice value chain (Step up)

• Component 2: Access to new economic opportunities for

landless/poor households: off-farm income generation, vocational training and support for migration (Stepping out… and up)

• Component 3: Addressing household and community vulnerabilities:

improved nutrition, social protection and reduced indebtedness (Hanging in)

• Component 4: Support to pro-poor policies and stakeholder

coordination

SLIDE 5

Component 2: Off-farm income generation

• Target landless and poor households without potential to

scale up agricultural activities, but capacity for stepping

Geographical coverage

• 4 townships:
• Pyapon, Bogale, Mawlamyinegyun,

Laputta

• Rationale:
• Similar to Delta 2 coverage
• Highest poverty score (WFP)
• Still important scale-up opportunities
• Population in rural areas:
• ~ 1.1 million people
• ~ 270,000 households
• ~ 2,200 villages
• 66% landless

SLIDE 10

Budget & phasing

• Overall budget $ 30 M with a tentative allocation in

seven “packages”

• Rolled out in three phases:

Phase 1: Calls for financial services and for services across all four components Phase 2: Complementary services based on further studies (migration, fisheries, land) and identified gaps (small grant for local CSOs) Phase 3: Additional services identified during implementation, scale up successful experiences
