It shows the effectiveness of current interventions and international aid, identifying critical gaps in protection and support.Key findings highlight the pressing need for comprehensive strategies that integrate child protection, educational opportunities, and psychosocial support. The study advocates for a collaborative approach involving strengthened community-based initiatives and enhanced capacities of local and international actors. These recommendations aim to better safeguard the rights and futures of Rohingya children amidst the ongoing crisis.
