Community-Based and Integrated Mental Health and Psychosocial Support Project in Cox’s Bazar
Amidst the protracted Rohingya refugee crisis, the mental health and well-being of both refugees and host community members, especially adolescents and youth, remain a pressing concern. Factors like violence, prolonged displacement, limited resources, and a lack of access to quality mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) services have profoundly impacted their wellbeing. The transition from adolescence to adulthood also adds another layer of challenges for young people, amplifying the impact of external factors on their mental well-being.
The MHPSS Survey is an initiative under the Community-Based and Integrated Mental Health and Psychosocial Support Services in Cox’s Bazar project implemented by UNFPA and its partners with support from the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC). The MHPSS Survey was conducted by SANEM under the technical guidance of UNFPA Bangladesh.
BUILDING RESILIENCE OF BANGLADESHI ADOLESCENT GIRLS:
The Adolescents and Youth programme of UNFPA in Bangladesh in partnership with a national NGO, Concerned Women for Family Development (CWFD), has prioritised the sensitive and frequently overlooked needs of adolescent girls during disasters. The programme’s focused response to adolescent girls during natural disasters across the country has led to a significant increase in the number of girls reached.
Sexual and Reproductive Health Working Group Bulletin (January to March 2024) - Rohingya Refugee Response, Cox’s Bazar
This bulletin primarily presents data collected from the SRH Working Group partners who reported to the Health Sector 4W reporting tool from January to March 2024. There is a general decline in the number of people who accessed services during the reporting quarter; this is largely attributed to several factors, such as limited movement and reduced operational hours during Ramadan. During this reporting quarter, 56 health sector partners delivered integrated SRHR services through 46 primary health centers, 58 health posts, 1 Comprehensive Emergency Obstetric and Newborn Care (CEmONC) facility, and 6 Field Hospitals under the health sector.

Maternal and Perinatal Death Surveillance and Response (MPDSR) in Bangladesh
Bangladesh initiated the implementation of the maternal and perinatal death review (MPDR) system in 2010 with the aim of achieving the Millennium Development Goal targets on maternal mortality reduction by 2015. The MPDR system was piloted between 2010 and 2015, initially covering 10 out of the country's 64 districts. Drawing on lessons learned from implementation and international guidelines, the program was subsequently updated and renamed as the Maternal and Perinatal Death Surveillance and Response (MPDSR) system in 2016. It became an integral part of the government's routine program and gradually expanded its geographic coverage, eventually encompassing all 64 districts by 2022.
UNFPA, UNICEF, and WHO Bangladesh, along with other development and implementing partners, have been strong technical collaborators with the Government and Ministry of Health and Family Planning, providing support for the nationwide implementation of MPDSR.
