This paper synthesises the major findings from the Income and Assets, Vulnerability, and Nutrition outcome studies to explore LIFT’s overall contributions to strengthening resilience in Myanmar. The first section presents an overview of key trends in LIFT villages from 2015 to 2017, highlighting changes to the social-political context and rural livelihoods since 2015. It then describes LIFT interventions and examines progress towards LIFT’s purpose and programme-level outcomes. The third section includes a discussion on resilience, how different households have fared in the face of shocks and stresses, and what coping strategies and forms of assistance have been effective. The paper concludes with key recommendations for LIFT and development partners seeking to build resilience in the Myanmar context.
