Abstract

The world is facing a tremendous problem in the form of food insecurity that is posing a great challenge to achieving sustainable development goal 2 of creating a hunger-free world. Refugees and displaced populations are particularly vulnerable to food insecurity and malnutrition, who lack any productive assets and depend on aid. Rohingya refugees, displaced from Myanmar and took refuge in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh, live in a crowded unhealthy environment and are severely vulnerable to food insecurity and malnutrition. In our recent study, we found that only 21.6% of the households in Rohingya refugee camps had acceptable food security status. Interestingly, this study further revealed that acceptable food security status was significantly higher among the households that had some additional income aside from aid, compared to those relying on aid alone. This shows the importance of promoting livelihood opportunities to improve food security status among the camp dwellers. In this paper, we presented our views on promoting livelihood opportunities to address the overwhelming food insecurity crisis among the Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh.

促进谋生机会,解决孟加拉国罗辛亚难民营的粮食不安全问题。
世界正面临着以粮食不安全为形式的巨大问题,这对实现可持续发展目标 2 "创造一个没有饥饿的世界 "构成了巨大挑战。难民和流离失所者尤其容易受到粮食不安全和营养不良的影响,他们缺乏任何生产性资产,只能依赖援助。从缅甸流离失所到孟加拉国科克斯巴扎尔避难的罗兴亚难民生活在拥挤、不健康的环境中,极易受到粮食不安全和营养不良的影响。我们在最近的研究中发现,罗辛亚难民营中只有 21.6% 的家庭拥有可接受的粮食安全状况。有趣的是,这项研究进一步显示,与仅依靠援助的家庭相比,在援助之外还有一些额外收入的家庭中,可接受的粮食安全状况要高得多。这表明了促进谋生机会以改善难民营居民粮食安全状况的重要性。在本文中,我们就促进谋生机会以解决孟加拉国罗辛亚族难民不堪重负的粮食不安全危机提出了自己的观点。
