Since the outbreak of the Rohingya crisis in 2017, the Korean government has contributed $3.7 million to Unicef Bangladesh for providing access to survivor-centered and adolescent-focused services against gender-based violence.
Between 2015 and 2019, with the financial support of $8 million by KOICA, Unicef has implemented the "Project for Improving Effective Coverage of Maternal, Newborn and Child Health Interventions and Reducing Preventable Child Death" in Tangail and Khulna District.
