EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The District of Cox’s Bazar, located in southern Bangladesh, has some of the poorest living conditions in the country.At the same time, over the last four decades, in successive waves, it has received Rohingya refugees fleeing from targeted violence and persecution in Rakhine State, Myanmar. Since August 2017, an estimated 745,000 Rohingya refugees have fled to Cox’s Bazar District, where approximately 860,000 refugees are now residing in 34 camps in Ukhiya and Teknaf Upazilas.2 Needs among the host communities in Ukhiya and Teknaf arise mainly from existing development challenges, but may have been compounded by the refugee influx.
