Myanmar—its economy, society, and political system—finds itself in tragic circumstances, with deep, prolonged, and multifaceted hardships falling upon its people.

Poverty and malnutrition were still widespread (in 2015-16, one third of preschool children were stunted and three quarters had inadequately diverse diets), but economic growth was strong, and the democratic government and its development partners were rolling out and scaling up social protection programs for the first time in Myanmar’s history.
