CARE has been implementing different components of protection and prevention of gender-based violence in the Rohingya refugee camps. One such component is training local volunteers to be first-responders for psychosocial counselling.
Major activities of SD & DRR sectors are the construction of drainage, pedestrian pathway, retaining walls, and stairs. Besides this, drainage cleaning, tree plantation, and creating cash for work opportunities are also part of SD & DRR interventions. Care & maintenance of the existing structures, emergency preparedness through capacity building, simulation exercises, early-warning systems, awareness raising, relocations, and other risk mitigation works are also major responsibilities of this sector.

Following the onset of the refugee crisis, CARE launched Site Management and Site Development (SMSD) activities in various camps to support Rohingya refugees. Popularly known as Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM) globally, it is the first time that CARE has this implemented this highly technical program in one of its missions, that too in one of the most complex and the biggest refugee camps of the world.
CARE teams are making continuous efforts to improve the quality of life for Rohingya refugees in camps through, among other things, better coordination, service monitoring, reduced disaster risk, strengthened accountability mechanisms, improved accessibility, enhanced infrastructure, and active community mobilization and participation.
