Today, the EU Ambassador and representative from COERR signed an agreement for a new EU-funded project which will be implemented in the next 3 years. This will ensure continuity of an important project, which has had positive impacts on the lives of Myanmar displaced persons by providing them with valuable skills in organic agriculture that will boost their capacities to produce fresh and nutritious food products for their own consumption, for possible income generation, and for sharing with other residents in the shelters. Building their capacities for food production while living in the temporary shelters boosts their resiliency and self-reliance, and prepares them for a better future. This project has been implemented by COER R in all 9 temporary shelters for over 20 years, and with the support of the EU, its food products are expected to benefit 21% of the total population with a production expected to increase to 3,300 Metric Tons or an average of 1,100 Metric Tons per year.
