Project Description
If provided by the financial institution, the Early Warning System Team writes a short summary describing the purported development objective of the project and project components. Review the complete project documentation for a detailed description.

According to the Bank’s website, the project will continue the support of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) to Bangladesh in managing the influx of around one million displaced people from Myanmar (DPFM) since 2017. Now a protracted situation, the crisis is putting significant pressure on infrastructure and causing substantial challenges in terms of food, shelter, health, security, water, sanitation, and other services in the DPFM camps and host communities. The project will work with the government, humanitarian agencies, and other development partners to address the critical and complex infrastructure needs and basic services with a focus on cost-effective and sustainable solutions while providing opportunities for skills development and livelihoods. Support will encompass interventions in water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH); roads; security and safety; drainage; food security; and disaster resilience, applying a differentiated approach in the DPFM camps and host communities. Capacity building support will also be provided to the government to deliver interventions efficiently, effectively, and sustainably while coordinating with the large-scale humanitarian response.
