CA-3-P006522002 2026-03-13T06:32:38 Canada’s Phase 2 support to the Livelihoods and Food Security Fund (LIFT) presents two overarching priorities for nutrition over the next three years (2022-2024) which impact on the crucial 1000 days from pregnancy up until the child's second birthday and beyond for populations across Myanmar, including those in Rakhine State. These are 1) safeguarding the nutrition status of Myanmar’s vulnerable populations, particularly women and children, from immediate threats that lead to undernutrition; and 2) protecting short- and medium-term food and nutrition security of vulnerable groups, including women, children, internally displaced people, ethnic minorities, migrant workers, and people living with disabilities in order to mitigate the crisis and prevent backsliding on decades’ worth of progress. The project also extends its support to populations across Myanmar, including those in Rakhine State, by increasing economic opportunities, improving nutrition outcomes and empowering women and ethnic minorities. Project activities include: (1) delivering community-based nutrition interventions, including the provision of services where gaps exist; (2) building the gender-responsive institutional and implementation capacity at various levels of Ethnic Service providers and civil society organizations to provide quality health nutrition and protection services; and (3) ensuring the availability of and access to safe water, hygiene and sanitary systems (WASH) linked to the current LIFT COVID-19 response.
