In 2017, atrocities by the Myanmar military drove over 850,000 Rohingya across the border into Bangladesh, where they continue to live in temporary settlements today. Over the past four years, as conditions inside the refugee camps have deteriorated, the host community in Teknaf and Ukhiya—who generously welcomed refugees in 2017—have seemingly grown wary of their protracted presence. Intensifying environmental, economic and social impacts linked to continued Rohingya displacement have raised tensions, and studies since 2019 have documented declining social cohesion between refugee and host communities.  This study, undertaken by the International Rescue Committee (IRC) and the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC), in collaboration with researchers at Dhaka University (DU), assesses the challenges and opportunities to social cohesion in the Rohingya context. The report maps out social tension across five issue areas: environment and ecology; labour market; cultural and political landscape; land; and the presence of the humanitarian community.

Війна в Україні вплинула на життя мільйонів людей, змусила 10 мільйонів залишити свої домівки, і створила безпрецедентні гуманітарні потреби всередині країни. Станом на сьогодні 14.6 мільйонів людей потребують термінової гуманітарної допомоги. З лютого 2022 року IRC працює в Україні пліч-о-пліч з місцевими партнерами, щоб надати життєво важливу підтримку людям, які постраждали від конфлікту, аби допомогти їм вижити, відновитися та повернути контроль над своїм майбутнім.
