Community feedback: social cohesion - population movement operation (PMO), Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh

This thematic report shares the results and recommendations drawn from a series of perception surveys conducted with guest and host communities in Ukhia and Teknaf sub-districts by the Bangladesh Red Crescent Society team between 1 to 21 August 2019. This Community Feedback: Social cohesion document is the second of a three-part report series exploring the key transecting issues emerging from a series of community surveys conducted by the Bangladesh Red Crescent Society (BDRCS) Community Engagement and Accountability (CEA) team in August 2019.

The data collected from the surveys supports our understanding of the needs of both the displaced community from Rakhine as well as the surrounding host communities in Cox’s Bazar. These reports, which draw on both the survey data and supplementary secondary sources, provide a preliminary analysis of the issues. They will be used to inform the Red Cross Red Crescent’s Population Movement Operation (PMO) response and hopefully promote further inquiry among humanitarian policy makers in Bangladesh.
