Launched in 2004 pursuant to Myanmar’s Law on Cooperatives, Golden Plain provides a range of services to rural communities throughout the economy, with an emphasis on training and agricultural productivity. Although its services are available to all producers, women often represent the majority of participants in their programs and a number of training activities are oriented toward women’s livelihoods, including development of enterprises, in general. Among other areas of capacity-building, Golden Plain has implemented programs for Agriculture Extension Workers, including through a Farmers’ Field School, as well as training activities Training of Trainers (FFS-TOT); crop husbandry; home gardening; livestock management; creation of “banks” for rice and seeds; small business development; food processing and preservation; and democracy and governance. Much of Golden Plain’s work is supported by Myanmar’s donor community and international NGOs, including SWISS Aid, JICA, and Save the Children.
