Pact in Myanmar: Rural communities lead their own development

Across Myanmar’s central, rural dry zone, communities have markedly improved their lives with the support of Pact and its partners, in areas including health, food security, livelihoods, access to credit and renewable energy, and water, sanitation and hygiene. Pact’s unique, integrated model – one focused on making holistic, systemic change and building strong local institutions and decision-making – means villages lead their own development.

Pact and its partners implemented the Shae Thot project in Myanmar from 2011 to 2018. The project was supported by USAID and paid for by the American people.
