However, the country’s path towards sustainable development is not without its challenges – including frequent natural disasters, gender inequality, and a mass influx of refugees. Since August 2017, more than 700,000 Rohingya refugees have streamed across the border into Cox’s Bazar after fleeing persecution in Myanmar’s Rakhine State. The sheer scale of the Rohingya refugee crisis threatens to reverse the country’s development gains, plunging nearly one million Rohingya and the surrounding Bangladeshi communities into extreme poverty.
