<p>DFID is working closely with our partners to ensure the effective delivery of humanitarian
assistance. As the second largest donor to the Rohingya crisis in Bangladesh, with
£256 million provided since August 2017, the UK is committed to protecting the Rohingya
community, among the world’s most vulnerable people. We ensure consistent, in-depth
monitoring, including regular field visits, though these are now restricted due to
the COVID-19 crisis. We are also actively involved in UN and development partner coordination
processes to identify and address issues which are affecting the effectiveness of
the response. This includes active engagement with the Government of Bangladesh Inter-sector
Coordination Group and individual sectors of the response working on, for example,
shelter, nutrition, and reproductive health services.</p><p>We work closely with the
UN Office for Project Services to maintain oversight of our support on the ground.
We recently assisted them to establish an office in Cox’s Bazar, including staff funded
by UK aid, to enhance coordination and routine monitoring.</p>
