Which organisation has made a large contribution on the housing issue of the 'Bihari' community in Bangladesh?

Think it through first, then pick an option.

  1. a CEDAW
  2. b UNDP
  3. c UNICEF
  4. d UNHCR
Answer and explanation

Correct answer: d UNHCR

UNHCR works on refugees, the Rohingya and Bihari housing.

Why the other options are wrong

  • a CEDAW: CEDAW is the convention on women’s rights; the Bihari housing work is UNHCR’s.
  • b UNDP: UNDP works on socio-economic development and the 17 SDGs.
  • c UNICEF: UNICEF works on disadvantaged children’s rights, education and medical care.
