Rebuilding resilient communities after conflict and disaster

A beneficiary story about one recipient. FAO, with funding from the Central Emergency Response Fund, has provided support to boost the livelihoods of 3 300 conflict- and flood-affected households (around 18 000 individuals) in both Muslim and Rakhine Buddhist communities in Maungdaw and Buthidaung townships. Beneficiaries have received winter crop seeds to increase food availability and recover from losses felt after the floods, as well as small livestock which can increase income opportuniti es and provide animal protein. The latter is particularly urgent in Rakhine, where rates of Severe Acute Malnutrition are higher than the critical threshold identified by the World Health Organization.
