The following statement is in response to a Dhaka Tribune story that was published alleging ADRA’s involvement with a recent anti-repatriation rally at a Rohingya camp in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh.
Адвентистское агентство развития и помощи (ADRA) в Бангладеш приостановило свою деятельность в стране после официального уведомления от правительства Бангладеш, в котором содержатся обвинения в том, что ADRA прямо или косвенно участвовало в поддержке недавнего массового собрания в лагере беженцев рохинья в Кокс-Базаре. В результате ADRA связалась с правительственными чиновниками, чтобы получить разъяснения по поводу сложившейся ситуации.
ADRA denies any wrongdoing and remains committed to cooperating with the authorities in order to resolve this situation as soon as possible and resume its role as a Site Management Support (SMS) agency in southern camps on Cox’s Bazar.
ADRA is committed to the principle of neutrality. As a result, ADRA does not engage at any time in controversies of a political, racial, religious or ideological nature. Furthermore, ADRA ensures that any partnerships with other organizations are anchored by this principle so that humanitarian aid can be delivered based on need alone.
ADRA, which has been present in Bangladesh since 1981, is a non-governmental organization registered with the Government of Bangladesh’s NGO Affairs Bureau. It focuses primarily in development projects in the areas of Education, Resilience, Rehabilitation and Development, Emergency Response, and Economic Development. Over the last four decades, ADRA’s primary thrust in Bangladesh has been to provide resources and opportunities to vulnerable individuals and families in rural areas, enabling them to be self-reliant.
In the Cox’s Bazar region, ADRA is a primary actor supporting the Government through the Office of the Refugee, Relief and Repatriation Commissioner (RRRC) and the Camp in Charge (CIC) to provide life-saving support to the refugee crisis.
