IOM Bangladesh - Needs and Population Monitoring (NPM) Round 14 Site Assessment

Following an outbreak of violence on 25 August 2017 in Rakhine State, Myanmar, a new massive influx of Rohingya refugees to Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh started in late August 2017. Most of the Rohingya refugees settled in Ukhia and Teknaf Upazilas of Cox’s Bazar, a district bordering Myanmar identified as the main entry area for border crossings.

This dataset presents the result of the NPM Round 14 Site Assessment exercise, which collected information related to the Rohingya refugee population distribution and needs during the months of December 2018 and January-February 2019.

• The data collection for NPM baseline survey was conducted between 9 to 19 December 2018: it provides an update about the population distribution and movements.
• The data collection for NPM Site Assessment survey was conducted between 14 January to 13 February 2019: in addition to an update about the population figures, this includes a multi-sectoral needs assessment.
