In response to the Rohingya Refugee crisis beginning in 2017, UNICEF, in partnership with Bangladesh Rural Advancement Committee (BRAC), has established a network of 1000 CMVs in Rohingya camps and host communities in Teknaf and Ukhia upazilas (in January 2018) that are trained, incentivized and supervised to reach and engage households on a range of priority multi sectoral behaviors. As Rohingyas and host communities have expressed a need for more information , the importance of CMV network is high.
To measure progress and results of the CMV network, C4D Section in collaboration with SPEAR Section conducted Baseline and Midline surveys in 2018 and 2019 respectively. The Baseline Survey assessed the Knowledge, Attitudes, Practices, and Behaviours (KAPB) of the Rohingya and host communities and identified that the CMVs were the second most important source of information in the Rohingya camps. As a follow-up of the Baseline, a Midline Survey was conducted to compare the changes in KAPB levels in 2018 and 2019. A randomized saturation design was also implemented during the Midline to provide an exhaustive analysis of the impact of the CMV network. This evaluation is now the endline evaluation of the programme, aimed at understanding what worked and what did not work, the impact of the CMV network in terms of Knowledge, Attitudes, Behaviors, and Practices (KABP) of the Rohingya and Bangladeshi host communities in order to inform UNICEF and partners future C4D interventions in humanitarian settings.
