Learning from GAGE longitudinal research in Bangladesh: Adolescent well-being in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh: challenges and priorities

14 May
09:30-17:00 (GMT +6:00)
GAGE
Sayeman Beach Resort, Cox's Bazar

During this event, new research will be presented from the Gender and Adolescence Global Evidence (GAGE) programme, a 10-year mixed methods research and evaluation study following the lives of 20,000 adolescents in the Global South.

In Cox’s Bazar, GAGE has partnered with researchers from Yale University and the World Bank to implement the Cox’s Bazar Panel Survey (CBPS), the first multi-purpose household survey that is representative of the post-2017 influx of displaced Rohingya and Bangladeshi households in host communities in Cox’s Bazar District.Mixed-methods midline data collected in 2023 will be presented as part of the GAGE longitudinal research programme, to explore how adolescent lives have changed since baseline findings from 2019.

Researchers will shine a light on programing and services, and how the uptake of opportunities available to Rohingya and Bangladeshi adolescents and young people in Cox’s Bazar are impacting their lives. We also explore how the provision of adolescent and youth services intersect with young people’s gender, age, disability, marital status and other identifying characteristics.

During the event, we will:

  • Disseminate research with international and national actors (policy makers, government officials, academics, INGO/NGO practitioners, donors, youth researchers) and explore avenues for maximizing the uptake of evidence.
  • Consult with cross-sectional stakeholders on the research recommendations and suggestions to strengthen policies and programmes for Rohingya adolescents.
  • Coalesce around an adolescent agenda, inclusive of key priorities for Rohingya and Bangladeshi young people in Cox’s Bazar.
