<p>The UK supports the overall recommendations in the “The Language Lesson” report,
which was co-funded by DFID. Since the report was published, access to reliable information
has improved according to the latest GroundTruth Solutions survey with Rohingya in
Cox’s Bazar. As a follow-up to the report, DFID has supported Translators Without
Borders to undertake an innovative Myanmar/Bangladesh cross-border study to examine
the Rohingya language in-depth and analyse how language barriers impact access to
services and intercommunal relations in Rakhine State and Cox’s Bazar.</p><p> </p><p>DFID
will consider with relevant implementing partners how the findings can inform future
programme and policy development. DFID has funded Translators Without Borders to engage
with humanitarian actors to raise understanding of the language barriers to address
needs of Rohingya. This has included training of interpreters, field workers, surveyors
and management staff, and the production and dissemination of a glossary of key humanitarian
terms in Rohingya language.</p>
