Catalyst for a Harmonised Approach on Nexus for Growth and Empowerment (CHANGE)
Switzerland is leading the humanitarian-development nexus approach to the protracted Rohingya crisis in Bangladesh through five UN agencies, which will work to mainstream and institutionalise cross-sectoral cooperation by strengthening the capacity of local non-governmental organisations. This will not only improve assistance to refugees and advance durable solutions, but also promote local ownership and leadership of the Rohingya response, ultimately reducing costs.

| Contexte | As 2024 marks the 8th year since the mass displacement of Rohingya refugees from Myanmar to Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh, the situation remains dire. Over a million Rohingya, living in congested camps, are entirely reliant on UN led humanitarian aid for survival, delivered through Local Actors (LA). The Government only authorises the local NGOs to operate under a 12-month project cycle and approvals are more easily provided and less scrutinized under the umbrella of the UN. The crisis has severely strained the resources and infrastructure of Cox's Bazar, one of Bangladesh's least developed districts, exacerbating pre-existing challenges incl. food insecurity, malnutrition, and low literacy rates. The COVID-19 pandemic and recurring climate shocks have worsened the situation. Despite efforts to provide basic education and protection, the refugee population, especially women and girls, face significant risks, including gender-based violence, trafficking, and limited access to justice. The ongoing humanitarian response, coordinated through the Joint Response Plan (JRP), emphasises the need for durable solutions to reduce dependency on aid and build resilience. Due to increased violence in Myanmar, the prospect of a safe, voluntary return remains unlikely in the near future. The fall of the government in Bangladesh during July-August 2024, has created uncertainties that might lead to changes in the dynamic of the operation but also provide opportunities for policy openings and true piloting of more sustainable programming. |
