∎ Job Summary:
∎ CARE is one of the world's leading international humanitarian and development organizations, committed to helping people in poor communities improve their lives and alleviate poverty. Founded in 1945, CARE is working across 104 countries to fight global poverty and marginalization. CARE has been active in Bangladesh since 1949 being one of the largest country offices of CARE. CARE works to help people achieve social and economic well-being, while being among the best in their fields. In CARE, put women and girls at the center of our work because we know that we cannot overcome poverty until all people have equal rights and opportunities. CARE Bangladesh is currently shifting towards a program approach, where it has developed longer-term impact visions to have more sustainable changes in the lives of the extreme poor and marginalized.
∎ Cox's Bazar is amongst the poorest districts of Bangladesh. In Ukhia, 33% of people live below the poverty line, and 17% below the extreme poverty line. This is linked to the region's poor land quality and high risk of natural disaster. Since the Myanmar refugee influx in fall 2017, over 902,984 refugees or 201,150 households (HH)s have settled in Ukhia, and Teknaf. Despite limited resources, the local host community population welcomed the arriving refugees during the fall of 2017, sharing food, shelter, and supplies. However, the refugees' extended presence has strained the community's already scarce resources. Within the sub-region, the residents of Ukhia and Teknaf have been particularly affected, with 336,000 residents directly impacted by the refugee influx, leading to a deterioration of relations between these host community members and the refugees. The region is highly prone to natural disasters; it experiences regular cyclones, floods, and landslides with triple global average precipitation. Both individual homes and community shelters are weak and in disrepair. Over 40% of households do not meet Sphere standards; they are overcrowded, weak and highly susceptible to damage and destruction by strong winds, rain, and flooding. Land degradation, including the removal of over 700 metric tons of firewood daily from the area, has led to a loss of topsoil, coupled with the heightened risk of flash flooding, has increased the potential resulting destruction. The accumulation of improperly disposed waste and poor pre-existing drainage systems aggravate these risks and increase the likelihood of damage to host communities' houses. Furthermore, community response plans and structures are ill-equipped to safeguard or offer substantive protection.
∎ CARE Bangladesh is providing life-saving DRR services and site improvement and shelter infrastructure to forcibly displaced Myanmar nationals in Camp's, Ukhia sub-district, Cox's Bazar. With support from IOM, CARE Bangladesh has acted as the Site Management Support Agency (SMSA) for Camp 16 since November 2017. Since then CARE has undertaken various Site Management (SM) and Site Development activities in close coordination with the Office of Refugee Relief and Repatriation Commission (RRRC), and in support of the Camp in Charge (CiC), to ensure a safe and dignified life for the people residing in Camp 16. CARE Bangladesh is working to address critical humanitarian gaps and meet urgent needs through coordination and collaboration with different stakeholders, information management, the linking of community members and persons with specific needs to different service providers, camp operations, Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR), and site improvement works.
