Myanmar Energy Poverty Survey

Mercy Corps and partners, with the support of the local firm Myanmar Survey Research (MSR), conducted an Energy Poverty Survey in Laputta Township with four foci: i) a Household Energy Poverty Analysis; ii) a review of the experiences of previous community energy and reforestation projects; iii) a market analysis for fuel efficient stoves and saplings in Laputta Township, and iv) a fuel efficiency analysis for the different stoves marketed in Laputta Township. The findings are intended to help guide development of appropriate strategies for Mercy Corps, MSN and EcoDev, as well as any other organisations working on energy poverty reduction in the Ayeyarwady Delta.
