Needs and Population Monitoring (NPM) is designed to regularly and systematically capture, process and disseminate information to provide a better understanding of the movements and evolving needs of populations on the move, whether on site or en route. Similar tools and methodologies have been successfully implemented over 60 countries. The NPM baseline form, the �rst level NPM data collection tool collects the basic information of the site rapidly and provides a baseline for continuous site monitoring through the NPM site assessment, a second level detailed data collection tool. Please note that the assessed population is only the UMNs residing in two Upazilas of Cox’s Bazar District, and does not represent the overall Rohingya population.
The �rst level NPM tools used in this survey provide baseline information of the UMN sites including location, population, the movement trends and preliminary needs expressed by the community. The data collection was accomplished through key informant interviews, focus group discussions and observations using the NPM baseline assessment form from 21 - 28 March 2017.
The National Strategy on Myanmar Refugees and Undocumented Myanmar Nationals (UMN) formulated by the Government of Bangladesh highlights that about 300,000 - 500,000 Rohingyas2 have crossed the border in the past and are living in Bangladesh. Following an outbreak of violence on 9 October 2016 in the Rakhine State of Myanmar, an estimated 74,000 UMN have �ed to Bangladesh from Rakhine State until the in�ux become stable around 23 February 2017. The majority of UMN are living in the Ukhia and Teknaf Upazilas of Cox’s Bazar District, a bordering district of Myanmar identi�ed as the main entry area for border crossing.
Level 1: NPM Baseline Assessment (in two upazilas) Level 2: NPM Site Assessment (in two upazilas)
1. This indicates that in 44 sites assessed during this round, in 2 upazilas of Cox’s Bazar district, it is estimated 132, 138 individuals or 23,844 UMN households, 70% of which live in 3 main makeshift settlements. This does not account for all Rohingyas: these sites are by no means all of the locations where Rohingya are living. There are higher numbers present in Bangladesh, known to be spread over a much wider area. There sites were selected for the initial round of assessment based on indications that high numbers of Rohingya are living in those locations. Subsequent assessments will seek to expand coverage.
2. The largest Muslim group within Rakhine State self-identify under the term ‘Rohingya’, a designation that is not accepted by the majority of the ethnic Rakhine population, and is not recognized by the central Government of Myanmar as one of the 135 o�cial nationalities in the country. In order to preserve neutrality on the issue, this group is alternatively refered to as a ‘Muslim minority of Rakhine State’. In line with the National Strategy of the Government of Bangladesh, NPM refers to unregistered members of this minority group as ‘Undocumented Myanmar Nationals (UMN)’.

Findings
UMN and the host community population by Union
3
The assessments conducted in 3 makeshift settlements and 41 host community locations estimate 132,138 Individuals or 23,844 households are living the assessed locations. The makeshift settlements host over 100,000 UMN in these 2 Upazila. The NPM estimates that 63,705 new arrivals are living in the assessed locations and 48% of them are sheltered in the 3 makeshift settlements.

*The host community population is an estimate from 2011 census data and used for planning purpose only.
Raja Palong Union in Ukhia Upazila hosts over 81,000 UMN in the Kuthupalong and Balukhali makeshift settlements and host community location. The increase of the population in this Union by 139% will need increased service delivery and alternate resource identi�cation to mitigate the sudden demand on the natural resources and services.

It was reported that the in�ow into Cox’s Bazar District slowed at the end of February. The movement trend between 15 – 27 March 2017 indicates �uid nature of the movements while people were settling in the makeshift settlements or host communities. The makeshift settlements observed highest in�ow of over 6,800 individuals compared with the 1,000 individuals into the host community locations. Around 400 people left the makeshift settlements and 370 people left host community locations. This trend indicates a potential increase of the population in the makeshift settlements most likely due to more regular services provided at the makeshift settlements. Reportedly, poor living condition and overcrowding were the reason for people leaving the makeshift settlements. Balukhali makeshift settlement records the highest number of people as it a new site and comparatively less crowded.

Needs and Vulnerabilities
The needs in the chart below show the most urgent needs prioritized by the community and do not re�ect the relative priority of the sectoral needs. The NPM site assessment tool will capture status of detailed sectoral service indicators and will elaborate more on the needs at the site.
5Needs and Population Monitoring http://www.cxbcoordination.org | [email protected]
NPM will continue to monitor the sites identi�ed in the Round 1 through the NPM site assessments and update the baseline established from the round 1 by expanding the coverage of the NPM study area. The site assessment shall be conducted on monthly basis to ensure the regular site monitoring site services and population movement dynamics.

During the NPM assessment, the enumerators collected vulnerability data to identify individuals that may require additional assistance, including pregnant or breastfeeding women, people with speci�c needs, unaccompanied minors, children separated from their households and households headed by child or elderly person. Out of the total population, about 25% of are vulnerable people and at least having one of the above vulnerabilities. The graph below provides an overview of the vulnerabilities across the locations surveyed by the site type. These �gures are indicative and obtained through the NPM baseline assessment.
