Summary:

This document compiles lessons and good practices that arose from implementation of the Delta 2 Programme, funded by the Livelihoods and Food Security Trust Fund (LIFT).

The lessons were presented by implementing partners during Learning Alliance workshops held in Bogale and Yangon on 1st and 3rd October 2014 respectively.

The purpose of this report is to share the experiences of LIFT’s partners in the implementation of their projects during Delta 2. The report presents lessons shared at a series of workshops organised by LIFT in October 2014, focusing on agricultural production and post-harvest loss reduction, integrating farmers in the rice value chain, making income generation activities profitable, organising collective services.  Participants also shared their experience of hire-purchase models, market price information and agricultural finance.
