Description:
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.
Organization:
Global Affairs Canada
Expected Results:
The expected outcomes for this project include: (1) improved gender-responsive, community-based development and small-scale infrastructure projects, such as street lighting, maintaining dams to reduce soil erosion and rehabilitating bridges and roads for access to local markets and institutions (including healthcare facilities and schools in communities in Cox’s Bazar); (2) strengthened coordination mechanisms dedicated to development-driven interventions in local communities in Cox’s Bazar. This involves assisting 10 participating local non-governmental organizations in building sexual and gender-based violence pertinent skills; and (3) improved localized, camp-based and representative community structures that are linked to the larger humanitarian service delivery and to community-based protection.
