Myanmar’s livestock and fishery sectors are crucial to the livelihoods of many vulnerable households, and an important dimension in improving nutritional outcomes in the country. The COVID-19 pandemic and efforts to mitigate its spread have led to disruptions in these sectors arising from declines in incomes and restrictions on movement. Careful monitoring of the impact of COVID-19 on these sectors can guide government, private sector, and development partners on policies and interventions to minimize potential disruption. This virtual policy seminar will analyze the current situation in Myanmar’s livestock and fishery sectors, based on the results of recently conducted phone surveys and highlight potential actions to keep these sectors functioning during these challenging times.
