Context and History of the Project
In June 2018, Fondation Hirondelle started a project in Bangladesh, in the Rohingya refugee camp of Jamtoli. In 2019, we expanded the project into two additional Rohingya refugee camps and we also work with affected Bangladeshi communities near the camps. Fondation Hirondelle’s work aims to contribute to the resourcefulness and resilience of refugees and the host community and strengthen social cohesion between the groups.
In partnership with HEKS/EPER since July 2020, Fondation Hirondelle’s project aims to improve the access to important and practical information for thousands of listeners a week living in the camps and in communities nearby. The project also aims to contribute to increased social cohesion between refugees and host populations through shared media programming.

The Issue
Since the outset of the Syrian crisis, parties to the conflict have instrumentalized aid, restricting, impeding, and diverting humanitarian assistance to their benefit.
These barriers to access have undercut humanitarians’ ability to serve people according to need in a cost-efficient and principled manner.
The lack of access has also meant that Syrian aid workers and organizations have played an outsized role in the humanitarian response, from delivery and programming to monitoring and evaluation.
The victims of attacks on humanitarian workers and civilian infrastructure are overwhelmingly Syrian aid workers and health personnel.
Donors must increase support for local aid organizations and workers in Syria and elsewhere by accelerating the localization of the aid response.
