Job Context

It has now been over two years since the influx of Rohingya people to Ukhiya and Teknaf Upazilas of Cox’s Bazar district in Bangladesh. To respond to this crisis, ActionAid Bangladesh (AAB) provided support to Rohingya people in two sectors, one is Site management & site development, and another is protection. Livelihoods enhancement is key to achieving protection. In addition to building resilience, avoiding aid dependency, preventing the development of potentially harmful coping mechanisms and improving social capital, it enables refugees to contribute to local economies, as well as to their future (re)integration within their former country of residence or in any other country.

The Food Security Sector (FSS) through its Livelihoods Working Group, advocates for activities that enable refugees to move towards self-reliance and socio-economic empowerment. The Livelihoods Working Group promotes activities using 06(six) approaches: 1. INCLUSION and RESILIENCE 2. SOCIAL COHESION 3. MARKET-BASED: 4. EFFECTIVENESS 5. ENVIRONMENT 6. SAFETY NETS. “Promoting women and girls’ empowerment through enhancing protection and economic resilience of Rohingya women and adolescent girls in 3 camps” project, supported by UN Women, has incorporated these approaches.

This project has extended its livelihood activities to provide a complementary service to Rohingya women and girls to ensure their protection. Skill trainings on different trade are included in Livelihood activities where production plays a great role to achieve economic resilience of program participants.
