Description

The Rohingya crisis has placed significant socio-economic pressure on host communities, particularly in Teknaf and Ukhiya, with locals expressing concerns about being outnumbered, rising labor competition, environmental degradation, and damage to infrastructure. The 2023 Joint Response Plan aims to address these challenges by enhancing security frameworks, strengthening community safety efforts, and fostering dialogue between Rohingya refugees and host communities, with the Government of Bangladesh and law enforcement agencies playing a key role in ensuring stability.
