Gulf of Mottama Project (GoMP)
15.04.2018
- 31.01.2022
One of the greatest challenges in the current reform process in Myanmar is the governance of natural resources. In the globally significant wetlands of the Gulf of Mottama (GoM), this project strengthens the capacities of government and communities to effectively manage, govern and value its coastal natural resources to sustainably improve livelihoods of people depending on them, while reducing the pressure on natural resource and conserving its unique environment and threatened biodiversity.

Malteser: Strenghtening Disaster Resilient Communities and Local Risk Management to Minimize Loss and Damage in Rakhine State
09.10.2015
- 31.12.2017
The project links disaster risk reduction (DRR) and climate change adaptation. It will seek to strengthen the resilience of communities to disasters through the development of adaptation plans, trainings and afforestation/reforestation of mangroves. The construction/rehabilitation of disaster resistant infrastructures will make evacuation points more accessible. And finally, the capacities of local authorities responsible for the coordination of the response in case of emergency will be strengthened.
