Purpose
This project aims to contribute to environmental rehabilitation and long-term development of Cox’s Bazar District (CXB) through supporting an ecologically sustainable approach in host communities and Rohingya refugee camps. Project activities include: (1) securing access to cleaner energy by providing alternative cooking fuel through continued provision of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) instead of firewood to reduce deforestation in CXB; (2) contributing to environmental and ecosystem protection by restoring local forestland and watershed, with a view to enhance climate resilience to landslides, flooding and droughts; (3) developing and updating environmental and watershed management plans using participatory planning at territorial level; (4) providing technical support for a multi-sectoral joint monitoring platform for environmental and socio-ecological assessments; (5) promoting renewable energy technology in farming communities; and (6) training Rohingya women beneficiaries in resilience building through green skills development.
