The World Food Programme (WFP) has launched the Asset Creation and Livelihoods Program to enhance access to basic social services and community resilience to the impacts of climate change and natural hazards in Myanmar.
WFP is inviting proposals from qualified and eligible organizations to implement the activities under its targeted operational areas. Proposed activities should aim to contribute to improvement of community resilience and enhance livelihood by creation or rehabilitation of assets, to increase food security and mitigate climate change and disaster related risks.
