Abstract
This brief presents findings on
consumption, coping and basic needs from the Cox’s Bazar
Panel Baseline Survey (CBPS) conducted between March –
August, 2019 in combination with findings from the first
rapid follow-up on a sub-sample of the baseline households
conducted between April-May 2020. Baseline data was
collected from 5,020 households across camp and host
settlements (camp settlements are defined as areas within
the camp boundaries set by the government, UNHCR and IOM
jointly, host settlements are defined as all areas outside
of the camp boundaries within the district). A 3-hour
walking distance was used as a cut-off to segregate host
areas as being high and low exposure to the influx. In
addition to baseline pre-COVID findings, the analysis
presents updated topline statistics on the current situation
of access to basic needs drawn from a rapid phone follow-up
of 3,150 households across camps, high and low exposure host communities.
