Project Brief:

Prottasha-II is a flagship project for the reintegration of Bangladeshi returnee migrants. The European Union (EU) is funding a four-year-long project titled “Improved Sustainable Reintegration of Bangladeshi Returnee Migrants (Prottasha II).” BRAC has already implemented Prottasha Phase I in 64 districts of Bangladesh. The overall objective of the project is to contribute to the long-term sustainable reintegration of Bangladeshi returnee men, women, and children migrants and promote safe migration.  The project will work to ensure the sustainable reintegration of Bangladeshi returnees and their families into their communities in a gender-sensitive manner. The project focuses on interventions at every step of the returnees’ journey once they reach Bangladesh, from enhancing access to needs-based arrival assistance to sustainable and gender-sensitive reintegration services (psychosocial, social, and economic) in their “home” communities.  The project is also working to enhance the awareness of aspiring migrants about the risks associated with irregular migration and migrant smuggling and to promote knowledge and understanding of safe migration. The project is scheduled to conclude in June 2027.
