Description:

January 2019 – Following the outbreak of violence in Northern Rakhine State in August 2017, more than 735,000 Rohingya crossed from Myanmar into Bangladesh over a period of several months. These refugees joined some 200,000 to 300,000 Rohingya already in Bangladesh following earlier waves of displacement. The speed and scale of the influx has resulted in significant humanitarian needs. With GAC’s support, Development and Peace is helping to provide safe shelters and secure settlements to Rohingya refugees in the camps in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh. Project activities include: (1) distributing material for transitional shelters and upgrades to existing shelters according to priorities identified by refugee households; (2) providing house-to-house technical assistance following the distribution of shelter materials; (3) providing gender sensitive semi-permanent shelters for particularly vulnerable households, such as women or child-headed households; and (4) providing solar lighting and other site improvements.
