Protection Working Group in Cox’s Bazar. UNHCR has
partnerships with UN agencies and coordinates the delivery of its
assistance with humanitarian partners through the various sectors

Bazar is the Ministry of Disaster Management and Relief and its
Refugee Relief and Repatriation Commissioner (RRRC), as well as
the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ministry of Home Affairs in

staff work closely with the RRRC’s Camp-in-Charge officials in the

refugees in the response, with over 7,000 volunteers who are
