Young people’s well-being and development in Bhasan Char Rohingya refugee camps in Bangladesh: GAGE endline findings

The mass displacement of Rohingya populations into Bangladesh began following the 2017 military crackdown in Myanmar, with the vast majority settling in highly congested camps in Cox’s Bazar District, Bangladesh, now hosting over one million refugees. In response to overcrowding and environmental pressures in the camps, the Government of Bangladesh initiated relocations to the island of Bhasan Char in the Bay of Bengal starting in 2020, with most relocations taking place between 2021 and 2022.
