$4,000,000.00

Description:
October 2024 - An estimated 1 million Rohingya fled political persecution in Myanmar, with the majority seeking refuge in overcrowded, temporary settlements in Cox’s Bazar District, Bangladesh. These refugees face numerous protection risks, including violence, exploitation, and a lack of legal rights, as they are not permitted to work in Bangladesh. As a result, they remain heavily reliant on humanitarian assistance to meet their basic needs. With GAC’s support, Development and Peace – Caritas Canada and its local partner, Caritas Bangladesh, helps provide safe and gender-sensitive emergency shelter, sanitation, and protection services to Rohingya refugees in Cox’s Bazar District, using a community-based approach. Project activities include: (1) rehabilitating shelters; (2) distributing emergency shelter kits; (3) rehabilitating water and sanitation facilities; and (4) providing protection services.
Organization:
Global Affairs Canada
Expected Results:

The expected outcomes of this project include: (1) increased use of safe and dignified gender-sensitive shelters; (2) improved water, sanitation, and hygiene services; and (3) increased use of safe, dignified and inclusive protection services, including for survivors of gender-based violence.

The expected ultimate outcome is lives saved, suffering alleviated, and human dignity maintained in countries experiencing humanitarian crises or acute food insecurity.
