"Ooredoo Myanmar and UNDP Myanmar today signed a Partnership Agreement to support the implementation of the Sustainable Enterprises and Agricultural Development (SEAD) Project. The project aims to establish an inclusive and sustainable rural development model in Myanmar’s Dry Zone leveraging Ooredoo’s advanced mobile technology and UNDP’s experience in promoting climate resilient farming practices in the Dry Zone region of Myanmar. 130 target villages in Myingyan and Nyaung U townships are expected to directly benefit from the 15 months project. This partnership marks an important milestone for the Ooredoo Myanmar-UNDP partnership in Myanmar. The SEAD project will provide an agricultural support package to vulnerable farming communities in the dry zone to promote income diversification and resilient livelihoods. It will also provide virtual climate advisory services and promote sustainable agricultural and livestock breeding practices in partnership with key government counterparts. Finally, the project will help match supply with the demand for sustainable farming and related inputs and services; support value addition in the agriculture and livestock sectors; and connect farmers to markets and credit (through use of mobile money)..."
