Project Details
As part of the Rohingya response, UNICEF has been providing prevention and treatment nutrition services to Rohingya refugees across 33 camps to address the high prevalence of malnutrition. Through a mutual cost-sharing and partnership agreement, UNICEF and WFP jointly support the operation and management of 34 Integrated Nutrition Facilities (INFs) in 25 of the 33 camps. These programs are managed by different implementing partners under a rationalization approach, with one partner dedicated to each camp. Entering the eighth year of this response, it has been observed that several INFs constructed earlier on now require renovation, while others need complete reconstruction. All 34 INFs that are currently being managed by UNICEF and WFP were initially built as temporary bamboo structures, which have since weakened and urgently need upgrading to enhance disaster resilience. Additionally, the layout of some INFs do not fully align with sector recommendations due to space constraints and management arrangements among others. Renovations are needed to bring these facilities in line with sector standards. Based on an agreement between the Government and three UN agencies (WFP, UNHCR, and UNICEF), UNICEF has been providing necessary support to Integrated Nutrition Facilities (INFs) to ensure their readiness for delivery of nutrition services.
