Socio-economic Support to Host and Displaced Communities in Cox’s Bazar District (SHADE) Since 2017, almost one million Rohingya, have fled to Bangladesh as displaced people from Myanmar. They live in and around makeshift camps in the sub-districts of Ukhia and Teknaf in Cox’s Bazar district. This long-lasting crisis has made life harder for the nearby Bangladeshi communities, especially in Teknaf and Ukhiya. Consequently, both the local and displaced people face serious social and economic challenges. Furthermore, frequent fires, natural disasters, and funding shortages disrupt the lives of the Rohingya. Additionally, increasing violent conflicts, insecurity, gender-based violence (GBV), drug abuse, crime, and sexual violence escalate tensions between the local Bangladeshi and Rohingya communities. Gender inequality, lack of skills and training, and poor protection systems worsen these dire conditions. Objective Conflict root causes and gender inequality, including GBV, have been addressed, and the livelihoods of host communities and displaced Rohingya in targeted areas have improved. |
