Humanitarian Response Program on Sexual and Reproductive Health for the Rohingyas in Bangladesh

Abstract

The Ipas Bangladesh humanitarian response program evaluation was commissioned by the Maternal and Child Health Division (MCHD) of icddr,b (International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research, Bangladesh), Dhaka, Bangladesh. The icddr,b team would like to thank Ipas Bangladesh country office colleagues for their continuous support and cooperation to conduct the evaluation within the limited timeframe. This work would not have been possible without active participation of the stakeholders (program head, service providers, facility managers, program managers) from Ipas Bangladesh, BAPSA, UNFPA, IOM, Hope Field Hospital for Women, BDRCS Field Hospital, IOM Primary Healthcare Centre, and Friendship Maternity Hospital. We are thankful to them for providing us with necessary information and important documents relevant to the program. We are also grateful to the FDMN women and girls for participating in the study and sharing their experiences with the study team.
