<p>We are aware of the difficulties facing the host communities in Cox’s Bazar district,
Bangladesh. Our latest £117 million funding includes over £20 million of new support
to the thousands of already vulnerable Bangladeshi families, who now have nearly one
million refugees living in their district.</p><p> </p><p>This funding will allow over
10,000 individuals of the host community to access livelihood opportunities; over
50,000 people will have improved access to safe water. Around 6,000 host community
children and adolescents will access improved quality education and vocational training.
Host community members will also benefit from a range of health services, including
gender-based violence and sexual rights and health services. DFID is also supporting
host communities in Cox's Bazar through our strategic partnership with BRAC on education,
health, ultra-poor graduation, skills and climate change work.</p>
