ACF started working in Myanmar in 1994 on treatment and prevention of malnutrition. ACF is currently implementing and developing projects addressing malnutrition, mental health and care practices, Gender & Protection, food security and livelihoods, water sanitation and hygiene promotion, nutrition security and disaster risk reduction through an integrated approach. On 01 February 2021 a State of Emergency was announced by the military, a coup came into being and the military government took control of state organs.
