Two years after Cyclone Nargis struck the Ayeyarwady and Yangon Divisions of Myanmar, sweeping across over 50 townships and hitting Yangon, the country’s most populous city, the fourth Periodic Review (PR IV) examines the status of households in the most affected area. In this context, PR IV details the present status of households and the progress or lack of progress made by the households towards recovery. Where information allows, this assessment compares the current situation to that before the Cyclone. The assessment relies on the responses of 1,400 sampled households living in the most devastated areas, the Ayeyarwady and Yangon Divisions. The results are presented in three interlinked chapters: Healthy Lives, Productive Lives, and Protected Lives.
