Head of Danida in Bangladesh Peter Bøgh Jensen in a statement said the host communities in Cox’s Bazar have been “struggling”. “Crops were damaged over and over again, and the fast influx from Myanmar put increased pressure on the local farmers. Danida has been running the ‘Farmer Field Schools’ as part of the Denmark-Bangladesh Country Programme which was signed last year. Denmark is a longstanding development partner to Bangladesh in the areas poverty alleviation, human rights and climate change. The aim is to partner Bangladesh in its journey towards being a middle-income country, the embassy said.
