Rohingya Response and National Resilience Programme (RRNRP) 2021 marks the fourth year since the massive displacement of Rohingya refugees from Myanmar into Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh. While the Government of Bangladesh and international community have maintained the provision of immediate lifesaving assistance, the needs are immense and complex challenges continue to emerge and reshape the nature of the response. The humanitarian community swiftly shifted priorities in 2020 to respond to the impact of COVID-19 on the Rohingya and host communities. With the scale up of COVID-19 interventions, other humanitarian services reduced. Studies revealed a decrease in shelter maintenance and livelihoods, and deterioration in the protection environment, and deepen the impact of the crisis on host communities with price increases and strained livelihoods. Alongside these challenges, monsoon and cyclone preparedness and response will remain at the forefront of the response in 2021 for the humanitarian communities in Cox’s Bazar. Through this project, IOM is supporting programme efforts through protection, shelter, health, water, sanitation and hygiene, site management and site development.
