Nutrition insecurity and livelihood decision-making in rural Myanmar

全球在消除营养不良方面的进展过于缓慢，无法实现关于饥饿的千年发展目标。国际研究表明，这些失败的原因是，贫困家庭现有的生计选择越来越偏离其确保粮食和营养安全的传统渠道。这一论点在国际发展研究中具有很大影响力，支持对营养敏感的发展干预措施的呼吁。该项目的目的是利用从缅甸农村1 600户家庭收集的原始调查数据来检验这一提议。这将是第一个这类项目，旨在在缅甸过渡的这一关键时刻对这一问题提出重要见解。

Global progress against malnutrition has been too slow to allow the Millennium Development Goals on hunger to be met. International research has proposed that these failures are due to the fact that the livelihood options available to poor households are increasingly misaligned from their traditional channels for ensuring food and nutrition security. This argument is highly influential in international development research, underpinning calls for nutrition-sensitive development interventions. The aim of this project is to test the proposition using original survey data collected from 1 600 households in rural Myanmar. This will be the first project of this kind, aiming to shed crucial insight into this issue at this vital moment in Myanmar's transition.
