Digital agricultural extension in fragile and conflict-affected countries
Purpose Access to agricultural extension and crop advisory services is critical, yet, in conflict-affected settings, their delivery and use are poorly understood. This paper has three objectives: first, to assess the distribution and types of agricultural extension services used by farmers in Myanmar; second, to examine changes in service use before and during conflict, focusing on the rise of digital agricultural services; and third, to analyze …

In Good Times and in Bad, in Sickness and in Health
Agriculture is rapidly transforming in many low- and middle-income countries – most often driven by the adoption of new agricultural technologies – but changes remain poorly understood in fragile and conflict-affected states.

Can nutrition education mitigate the impacts of Covid‐19 on dietary quality? Cluster‐randomised controlled trial evidence in Myanmar's Central Dry Zone

The intervention was designed and implemented as a cluster-randomised controlled trial in which 15 villages received the intervention and 15 control villages did not. The intervention was implemented fr…
