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 bank documents, "the project development objective is to improve the access to and utilization of Health, Nutrition and Population (HNP) and Gender Based Violence (GBV) response services among the host and the displaced Rohingya population (DRP) in Cox’s Bazaar district. These include community clinics (CC), union level facilities (UHFWC), Upazilla health complexes (UzHC), family planning centers and District Sadar hospital (DSH).

Provision of water supply, sanitation (including toilets) and power supply at these health clinics will also be upgraded to ensure requirements to provide services.
