The Assessment of value chains in pilot areas of the Myanmar Programme on the Elimination of Child Labour (My-PEC) in the Ayeyarwady Region, Yangon Region and Mon State
24 July 2024
This assessment focuses on value chains identified in Labutta Township in the Ayeyarwady Region (the rice, dried shrimp and mud crab value chains), Ye Township in Mon State (rubber, durian and betel nut) and Dagon Seikkan Township in the Yangon Region (street food, and home-based enterprises).
The assessment highlights the critical need for coordinated efforts to strengthen value chains in Myanmar. By addressing identified constraints and leveraging opportunities for collaboration, My-PEC can contribute to sustainable local economic development and the reduction of child labour through improved livelihood opportunities.
