Climate Smart Village (CSV) practices include climate-smart agriculture (CSA), which aims to be ecologically, culturally and gender responsive. This study focuses on the CSA program in Myanmar which responded to needs of women smallholder farmers in relation to climate-hazards and risks. Homesteads and raising small livestock are perceived as women’s domains. There is a need to provide women with capacity building to sustain and transform economically lucrative homestead and livestock production that will supplement field production of crops dominated by men. Promoting a “portfolio” of options approach will give target communities a diverse set of adaptive opportunities tailored to the economic context of households.
