CAMP GREENING
CAMP LIGHTING
Saman is happier since solar street lights have been introduced in her neighbourhood in Camp 18. “The area used to be very dark, there were a lot of stealing incidents. Now, the streets are much safer.” Inside her house, she also has a light connected to a solar panel on the roof. “This makes our daily lives much easier.”

Standard Operating Procedures for Solar Street Lights
and Mini-Grids have been developed by the EETWG with
support of the RRRC. Once finalized, They will provide
technical guidance to partners who are implementing
community lighting in the camp, ensuring quality and
coordination of the procurement, placement and
installation of community lighting.

Natural Hazard Risk Analysis Task Force: Supporting Risk-Informed Planning
The Natural Hazard Risk Analysis Taskforce is a specialized sub-group of the
Information and Assessment Working Group of the ISCG. It provides natural hazard
products to partners, supporting risk-informed planning. For example, flood and
landslide-prone areas were used as an input data to optimize the 2019 Planting
Strategy of the Energy and Environment Technical Working Group (EETWG).
MONTHLY FEATURES
Community-Based Bio-Engineering:
A Durable Solution for Soil Stabilization and Camp Greening
In Camp 4 Extension, UNHCR and BRAC are implementing biological solutions to mitigate soil erosion, a critical issue particularly during monsoon season.
Using this method, mixed vegetation comprising of herbs, shrubs and trees, including species that help bind the soil (e.g. vetiver grass) or add nitrogen fertilizer in the soil (e.g. Arhor) have been planted since October 2017, rendering the area entirely green within just seven months.
To enhance sustainability, refugees were encouraged to grow vegetables themselves within the plantation area, such as pumpkin or bottle gourd, under the condition that they take care of the vegetation adjacent to their shelters.
The concept has proven to be successful and will be replicated in other areas of the camps. Discussions are ongoing between UNHCR and IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) to scale up the project in 2019.

Measuring Impact: LPG Impact Assessment
To assess the multifaceted impact of LPG distribution on refugee and host communities, an impact assessment will be conducted by EETWG with support of multiple partners. The assessment will focus on protection aspects, food and nutrition security, social cohesion, environment, fire safety, among others, aiming at drawing a comprehensive picture of the LPG impacts.
UPCOMING PROJECTS
Camp 4E in May 2019
During May, UNDP successfully implemented a 20-day cleaning campaign under the Solid Waste Management project in Teknaf Municipality.
50 Workers mobilized, including 42 women
150 m3 Of waste collected from the streets
Moving forward, a two-day training involving 100 pilot households will take place on 18-19 June on waste segregation and community composting, as well as distribution of two-colour waste bins on 25 June in Teknaf.
11 m3 Of the collected waste was sent to recycling

Our Biodiversity, Our Food, Our Health: Celebrating
Biological Diversity
Photo: UNDP
On 22 May, International Day for Biological Diversity was celebrated in Camps 4, 15 and 26, organized by IUCN and UNHCR on the theme of ‘Our Biodiversity, Our Food, Our Health’. The event aimed at raising awareness on the dependency of food, nutrition and health and the impact on biodiversity and our ecosystems. The event started with a rally, actively engaging children from the community who sang slogans in their language, such as ‘Don’t kill
elephants’, ‘Don’t kill birds’. It was followed by field demonstration by Elephant Response Teams (ERTs) showing situations of human-elephant conflict mitigation, followed by a discussion, led by UNHCR and IUCN, on biodiversity and the importance of protecting the environment.
