Context of the Evaluation 2.1 Presentation of the BPRM funded Project The BPRM funded project titled Inclusive Specialized Services for Vulnerable Persons, including Persons with Disabilities in Coxs Bazar Rohingya Camps and Host Communities has three main objectives. The first objective is to enhance the quality and timely access to comprehensive functional rehabilitation and healthcare services through mobile units, static points, and targeted health facilities in camps and host communities. The second objective is to improve the protection environment and increase resilience of persons with concerns, particularly persons with disabilities, older people, and other vulnerable individuals, among the Rohingya community through equitable access to life-saving protection and mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) services and strengthening community-based protection mechanisms. The third objective is to promote the inclusion of persons with disabilities and older people in the overall Rohingya humanitarian response, including disaster risk reduction and preparedness services in camps and host communities. The project (Phase 2, Year 3) started in September 2024 and was originally scheduled to end in August 2025. However, following the U.S. Governments stop work order, consistent with the Presidents Executive Order on Reevaluating and Realigning United States Foreign Aid, HI fully halted all PRM-funded interventions after January 24th. After two weeks, HI received a waiver from PRM, permitting the continuation of lifesaving activities including physical rehabilitation, injury and trauma care, emergency mental health interventions for crisis-affected individuals, maternal and newborn health care, screening, identification, and referral of individuals for persons with disabilities. HI revised the project removing activities not aligned with life-saving definition of BPRM and requested for extension of three months to ensure the life saving services continue without disruption. Since the influx in August 2017, HI has established emergency mobile teams that consist of a team manager, a project officer for beneficiary identification and referral pathways, rehabilitation staff, a nurse for basic healthcare and referrals, a protection officer for case identification and external referrals, two MHPSS officers for individualized services and referrals to specialized mental health services, and an inclusive sports and recreational officer for facilitating sessions with children and adults.
