The Ma Sein Climate Smart Village (CSV) is located in Ayeyarwady Region in the southwest part of Myanmar. Situated at the base of the delta, Bogale is susceptible to effects of sea level rise, flooding, and saline water intrusion. Farm households that do not diversify their income sources (having sole reliance on rice-based agriculture) are more vulnerable. Diversification of alternative livelihoods is a key strategy for enhancing adaptive capacities. This could include small livestock, aquaculture, and homestead intensification. Climate-Smart Villages (CSVs) demonstrate community-based adaptation in agriculture in different agroecological zones in Myanmar
