• 2021-09-08: Response from Derek. DFM_RPT_BGL-Key-location-report_comments_2021-09-08.docx . Suggestions: (1) The addition of a short statement of methodology that explains how the data for the report were gathered, by whom, and using what methods. (2) A glossary of key Bangla terms used in the report. (3) There is some inconsistency in use of terms and spellings in the report. It would be ideal if these were to be harmonized.

• 2021-10-18: Comments from Derek. "I like very much the additions that you have made and think that the report is now much stronger. I have made some edits and inserted a number of additional comments requesting clarifications at various points in the text. ... In the next submitted version of the report, please separate out the final section on Immediate Research Plans and Subsequent Actions. I think there’s no need for that as part of the report, rather, it is the basis for a further discussion among us about your plan for the coming six months."

DFM Myanmar consumption survey

• 2021-03-18: Forwarded by Ben Belton. "I was able to ask an intern to have a first go at editing Sithu’s report on dried fish consumption in Myanmar – it still needs some refining, adding a proper introduction and conclusion, and some contextualization using secondary sources (e.g. need to compare the levels of consumption reported here with those reported elsewhere), but it is a good start."

DFM-DFYWA Working Paper 01

• 2021-04-22: Draft received from Dasu
• 2021-07-16: Reviewer comments from Derek to Dasu. See "appraisal". "I think there’s real potential for an academic publication from the report. I realize this may not be your priority, but I would be happy to discuss options for helping you to transform it into an academic article if you were interested. Ratana is also putting together an e-book on outputs from the scoping phase of the project for a public audience, and we’d love to include a short piece from DFYWA in that. The volume will be free and written in accessible language, with lots of illustrations, so should be a good way to get our preliminary findings out."

• 2021-08-25: Revised draft received from Dasu. DFM-DFYWA_RPT_Living-on-the-edge_2021-08-25.docx . "I am attaching the final report as prepared by Mr Venkatesh with this mail. You may please get the DFM and SSHRC logos added on the cover as you suggested and upload it on the DFM website.
