Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study generated in-depth and advanced understanding of the livelihood resilience of Rohingya refugees living in Bangladesh. The study implied RIMA-II framework developed by FAO to measure and analyze livelihood resilience of the refugee people. Among the four main pillars, adaptive capacity and access to basic services had the most impact on livelihood resilience. Among the surveyed refugee households most of the households had moderate resilience based on the calculated resilience index of this study. From the survey the study found that most of the refugees are receiving aids inform of food items, water supply, sanitation and cooking fuel. Despite the aids, household income of the refugees decreased significantly.
