The Japanese government has decided to provide $9 million to assist the World Food Programme (WFP) and the International Organization for Migration (IOM) for their operations in Bangladesh.
Of the amount, approximately $4.55 million will be provided to the WFP to develop agricultural infrastructure, strengthen market linkage with rural farmers and improve the food value chain in Cox's Bazar, Ishwardi and Patuakahali districts, said a press release on Tuesday.
It will also provide approximately $4.47million to the IOM for construction and maintenance of shelters, disaster risk reduction activities, maintenance of medical facilities and latrines, and the construction of deep tubewells in the Rohingya camps and host communities in Cox's Bazar.
