Pre-Intervention Individual Household Economy Survey Results: Myanmar

Save the Children in Myanmar (SCiM) has started a food security programme in four townships in the Dry Zone, funded by the European Commission. The overall objective of the project is to increase food security amongst the poorest households through a comprehensive package addressing the multiple causes of food insecurity and malnutrition.

Since the project’s two expected results are improvement in household income and improvement in health and nutrition status of children, SCiM has conducted baseline surveys in household income as well as in nutrition. The Individual Household Economy Analysis (IHEA) methodology has been used to gather baseline household income data.
