Particularly, the aim is to guide them on preparedness and resiliency building measures. It does this by providing information on ENSO’s social, poverty, economic, and agricultural impacts in Myanmar and outlining ways forward. The report finds that ENSO’s impacts vary from region to region but tend to exacerbate current climatic trends. Myanmar’s government attempted to prepare for, and respond to, the 2016 El Niño, but capacity andorganizational constraints limited its effectiveness. Preparing for ENSO is important because of Myanmar’s low resilience to climate shocks, the importance of agriculture for the national economy, the rural and poor populations’ climate vulnerability, and the lack of research on ENSO in Myanmar. 2019-04-11T19:07:33Z 2019-04-11T19:07:33Z 2019-04 Report http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/142691554202690382/Striking-a-Balance-Managing-El-Niño-and-La-Niña-in-Myanmar-s-Agriculture http://hdl.handle.net/10986/31523 English CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Economic & Sector Work :: Other Agriculture Study Economic & Sector Work East Asia and Pacific Myanmar
