<p>A June 2019 study by the Overseas Development Institute found that refugees felt
that their lives would first and foremost be improved through education, then better
living conditions, then the ability to support themselves. The study also describes
the Rohingya people’s immediate concerns affecting their quality of life, including
shelter conditions, lack of firewood or stoves, issues with healthcare, water, sanitation
and hygiene and protection support, inadequate food and insufficient supplies.</p><p>
</p><p>The UK has committed £256 million in funding since August 2017 to improve many
aspects of daily life including food security, nutrition, shelter, health, and education.
The UK engages regularly with the Government of Bangladesh to discuss the need to
improve refugees’ access to education, skills and livelihoods. While progress has
been made, life within the camps remains challenging for the Rohingya and the uncertainty
about their future is a difficult burden to bear. The UK has supported regular surveys
conducted by Ground Truth Solutions to help the international community better understand
the changing perspectives of the Rohingya in Bangladesh.</p>
