Grants and Contributions

This project aims to strengthen local organizations in both refugee and host communities to respond to locally-identified development priorities in Cox’ s Bazar district (CXB). Project activities include: (1) establishing a nexus hub to map and coordinate the intersection of humanitarian, stabilization and development efforts; (2) implementing 108 small-scale infrastructure projects in 18 selected unions; (3) establishing seed funds for the creation of pooled financial resources to support local organizations and small-scale entrepreneurship; (4) strengthening coordination mechanisms for development-driven interventions in local communities. This involves assisting 10 participating local organizations in building key transferable skills; (5) improving camp-based community representative structures linked to the larger humanitarian service delivery and to community-based protection; and (6) recruiting and training identified Rohingya researchers in data collection, analysis and reporting. The project targets 5,300 direct beneficiaries from host communities through infrastructure employment and livelihood diversification and indirectly benefits up to 1,818,222 host community members through expected economic spinoffs. It also targets directly 26,870 Rohingya refugees and indirectly benefits 210,000 Rohingya refugees through strengthening camp-based representative structures and skills building to help reduce vulnerabilities.

Canada’s Phase 2 support to the Livelihoods and Food Security Fund (LIFT) presents two overarching priorities for nutrition over the next three years (2022-2024) which impact on the crucial 1000 days from pregnancy up until the child's second birthday and beyond for populations across Myanmar, including those in Rakhine State. These are 1) safeguarding the nutrition status of Myanmar’s vulnerable populations, particularly women and children, from immediate threats that lead to undernutrition; and 2) protecting short- and medium-term food and nutrition security of vulnerable groups, including women, children, internally displaced people, ethnic minorities, migrant workers, and people living with disabilities in order to mitigate the crisis and prevent backsliding on decades’ worth of progress.

This project will support IFAD’s full environmental and climate mainstreaming agenda. Canada’s financial support to IFAD will substantiate IFAD 12th and 13th replenishment resources and be deployed via IFAD’s Performance-Based Allocation System, which includes climate dimensions as a way to direct allocation of resources to countries in highly vulnerable situations. It will contribute to increasing the programming and geographic flexibility of IFAD’s climate work to reach and benefit all Member States, while also being carefully targeted to reach the poorest and most vulnerable people in countries most affected by climate change.

IFAD provides grants and low-interest loans to developing countries to support programmes and projects that promote agricultural growth and inclusive rural transformation, with a focus on helping poor rural people improve their production and productivity, build their capacity, connect to markets and services so they can grow more, earn more, and become more resilient. It targets the extreme poor and food-insecure in rural areas, with special attention to women, youth and indigenous peoples as key beneficiaries, but also as full partners.

It will elevate the capacity of responsible agencies, locally and in cooperation with other departments to respond to terrorist actions; conduct terrorist investigations; and to bring perpetrators to justice in accordance with the rule of law and with respect for human rights.
