Why this matters
The evaluation of the Education Cannot Wait Multi-Year Resilience Plan II Programme in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh, highlights the complexities of providing education services in a densely populated country with significant poverty and inequality challenges. With over 1 million Rohingya refugees hosted in one of the country's poorest districts, the strain on education services is substantial. The programme's focus on expanding access to inclusive, quality education, promoting gender equity, and strengthening systems is critical in addressing these challenges. The use of a theory-based, contribution analysis approach and the incorporation of cross-cutting themes such as gender, equity, and child rights, demonstrates a commitment to understanding the nuances of the issue and identifying effective solutions. As the evaluation aims to inform future programming and generate actionable recommendations, it will be important to monitor how the findings are used to improve education services for both refugees and host communities in Cox's Bazar.
