Abstract: In October 2019, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) began the Small-scale Aquaculture Investments for Livelihoods in Myanmar project, or Fish for Livelihoods (F4L), as it is known. The project, which runs until 2024, aims to improve nutrition among the people living in Central and Northern Myanmar by promoting inclusive and sustainable aquaculture growth that focuses on small-scale farmers. F4L has three components: (1) increase small-scale aquaculture production, (2) implement the use of market system approaches, and (3) improve nutrition and water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) practices. Objectives of this study are: 1. To determine the proportion of female participants consuming at least five food groups over a 24-hour period. 2. To determine the frequency of consumption of fish and fish-based processed products (FBPPs) among respondents over a 7-day period. 3. To determine who decides to harvest fish and to manage income among the respondents’ households.
