IOM and KSrelief Sign $2.5 Million Agreement for WASH in Cox's Bazar
The International Organization for Migration (IOM) and KSrelief have established a $2.5 million agreement aimed at enhancing water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) services in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh. This agreement addresses critical infrastructure needs and public health risks related to the Rohingya response amid funding shortages and facility degradation.

A $2.5 million agreement has been signed between IOM and KSrelief to improve WASH services in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh. The project, initiated in Riyadh by Eng. Ahmed bin Ali Al-Baiz and Othman Belbeisi, includes upgrading solar-powered water networks, constructing decentralized wastewater treatment systems, and enhancing faecal sludge management.
Additional activities involve distributing hygiene kits and strengthening community engagement. This initiative is vital as it addresses severe public health risks exacerbated by overcrowded conditions and infrastructure deficits, supporting long-term sustainability of WASH services. Such investments may help mitigate the potential reversal of progress made in recent years.
