Since 2013 BRAC has boosted market linkages, streamlined climate adaptation among small-holder farmers, and increased access to financing for those living in hard-to-reach areas.
We drive large-scale transformation by empowering women and families to overcome poverty through cost-effective, evidence-based programs and financial inclusion. Combining social development in health, education, food security, and livelihoods with market-based solutions, we partner with communities to build resilience and expand access to responsible financial services for those excluded from mainstream banking.

Our approach
Our agriculture model enables farmers to adapt to climate change and connect to markets. Through our holistic approach, farmers have access to quality inputs, financial training, and skills training to increase their yields with a focus on aquaculture, pond-dike cropping, and nutrition.
Agriculture, Food Security, and Livelihood
The EPRP strengthened community resilience and disaster preparedness in Yangon and Bago until April 2021.
