Problems identified by
participants
Solutions suggested by participants Response by humanitarians SNFI SECTOR
Lack of shelter resistance
to external environment
(the shelters do not
provide enough
protection).
- Build stronger shelters
- Provide more support and materials to
repair shelters
- Increase the amount of shelter materials
distributed
- More resistant materials are not allowed by the GoB
- Temporary materials require regular replacement
- Labour support (e.g. portering and construction
labour) is limited to households with special shelter
needs that are identified by Protection partners
because there are finite resources. However,
partners can increase technical support by providing
supervision/advice to households.
- Quantity of shelter materials is determined by
limited funding. Having to constantly replace
temporary shelter materials is very costly.
- RRRC approved double storey steel shelters- there
will be implemented phase by phase as require
significant funding.
Updates: Our Thought report feedback
[9]
Problems identified by
participants
Solutions suggested by participants Response by humanitarians SNFI SECTOR
Shelters are too small
and lack privacy.
- Increase shelter size/provide bigger
shelters
- MoDMR and RRRC are imposing 10’x15’ shelter size
for up to 6 family members. UN organizations and
Sector is advocating to change it and to ensure
minimum 3,5 m2/person in the shelters where
possible
- Double-storey shelter design has been approved by
the MoDMR. It offers more space and the upper
storey has more privacy (if the GoB agree on the
size family proposed by humanitarian actors) 1
double storey unit for up to 6 family members and 2
double storey units for more than 7 family
members.
- Land in the camp area is limited and families are
growing, so space is becoming increasingly scarce.
The entire camp area would need to expand, and a
lot of households would need to live in double-
storey shelters for there to be space for larger
single-storey shelters. Expanding the camp area is
very sensitive, complex, and unlikely to happen in
the near future due to GoB restrictions.

[10]
Problems identified by
participants
Solutions suggested by participants Response by humanitarians SNFI SECTOR
Lack of key NFIs (lighting
inside the shelter,
mosquito nets, stoves
are not working) and
infrequent and not timely
NFI distributions.
- More regular and predictable NFI
distributions where participants can
select the NFIs they need
- Distribution of specific NFIs depending on
needs (clothing, assistive devices, kitchen
utensils, etc.)
- Vouchers assistance guidance are developed, pilot
already implemented in camp 20 and 20 Ext,
- Pop up stores piloted by UNHCR,
Both solutions require significant funding
- Vouchers and pop up stores would provide
distribution of specific NFIs base on the needs and
beneficiaries selection
- Partners will improve communications regarding
the frequency of NFI distributions so that
households can plan ahead.
Updates: Our Thought report feedback
[11]
Problems identified by
participants
Solutions suggested by participants Response by humanitarians SNFI SECTOR
Insufficient LPG to last
the month, especially for
larger families, and
difficulties rationing LPG
to last the month due to
delays in distribution and
unclear messaging
around distribution
delays
- Increase LPG allocation for larger families
- Improved communication when LPG
distributions will be delayed so people
can ration their LPG to last until then
- Need for the assessment to see which size of the
families is affected, why and if time between refills
can be reduced or other mitigation measures can be
taken- ex. different size of pots.
- Communication will be improved, and delays should
not happen at the first place.
Updates: Our Thought report feedback
[12]
Problems identified by
participants
Solutions suggested by participants Response by humanitarians SNFI SECTOR
Difficulties collecting LPG
because of weight
- Increase the porter system to ensure
more support for households who need
to carry heavy LPG cannisters to their
homes
- Will be discussed so partners plan for more porters
in their budget
- Ensure token or other system to ensure porters are
carrying the materials till the shelter

Fire response- Partner’s experience
• Long time consuming to get treated Borak Bamboo
• Heavy rain fall causes slow progress of reconstruction of shelter
• Heavy rainfall hampers on Site Development works
• Heavy rainfall increase DRR risk as well as hampers on SMEP big schemes
• Community engagement is really taught as several motivation need to same H/H
• CFW is also taught as we engaging labour out of huge community need
• Shortage of skilled labour in camp
• Rigit 15 by 10 feet approved shelter make barrier to use extra space as some how H/H unwilling to leave their occupied space
• Identified WASH block but slow Progress of Wash Actor
• Taught to build trust with community without quality shelter reconstruction
• Frequent Decisions Change by H/H also make slow progress of Reconstruction works
• Staff Movement in Covid-19 is another cause of slow progress
• Protection related stress as H/H are relocating internally to their relative's house
• Rigit site plan and space also hampers on reconstruction works
• Need to build trust with community by esuring quality works
• By treating Refugee with respect and listen to their remarks will make the field work easier
• Motivation is the best solution to ensure common understanding with Refugees
• Positive & timely communication, coordination and liaison with stakeholder and sectors helps in smooth operation
• Should not give any false hope to Refugee as it will make complexity
• Should avoid to blame others, important to create safe and health work enviornment in the field
• Common messages should dessiminate during community session also helps field operation
• Consult and respect General Refugee and community leaders
Lessons learnt to over come challenges
Challenges❖ Bamboo treatment process
❖ Quality Borak Bamboo Crisis
❖ Crisis of quality shelter materials (like: Tarpaulins, Metal putting, Muli Bamboo)
❖ Slow Progress of SD & SMEP
❖ Lack of Ideal Warehouse of Vendor
❖ Staff Movement in Covid-19 Restricted Situation
❖ Many families with 6 members refused to accept the newly designed shelter
❖ Heavy Rain
Challenges
⮚ Shortage of treated bamboo as quality bamboos are not available in the market. Only bamboo from Dinajpur/Rangpur/North Bengal is accepted in IOM-BTF hub.
⮚ Heavy rainfall hampers shelter works.
⮚ Bamboo treatment process takes long time.
⮚ A partial no. of Rohingya HHs consisting of 5 or 6 people don’t agree with new design of shelter(specially 15x10 feet size).
⮚ Side development activities by other agencies don’t complete in time due to various reasons.

Updates from HLP TF
Update from HLP TF
❏ The current HLP Coordinator finishing up on 30 June, under recruitmentfor replacement, in place by August, hopefully.

❏ Starting HLP response in the fire-affected camps
| HC HLP Response Plan
Legal Identity/Civil Documentation: ON GOING
▪ Development of Guidance Note on Restoration of the different types of legalidentity/land related documents lost/damaged,
▪ Legal counselling and support with filling application forms etc for the restorations of thedocuments,
▪ Name and mobile numbers of the HC HH (92 out of 135, plus the remaining) whoreported to losing to be provided to NRC ICLA/HLP team, through the data sharingagreement with NPM/ HLP TF.
HLP : ON HOLD
▪ Redevelopment strategy by IOM to Build, Back, Safer Strategy with site planning etc.
▪ HLP Response to be developed after Phase 2 of the Strategy; after 1-1.5 months, as
part of the Relocation Plan
▪ HLP relocation concerns
▪ 311 HH for road construction/fire breaks
▪ 610+ HH for slope stabilisation (TBC)
▪ # of HH that the HC want vacated from their private land (approx 122 HH)
▪ Limited Khas/private land left, need for alternative land, rental negotiations
▪ Need to address/mediate HLP tensions
| HC HLP Response PlanLegal Identity/Civil Documentation: ON GOING
▪ Total beneficiaries reached (heads of HHs + other members of HHs): 222.
▪ # NIDs lost in fire - 51
▪ # Birth Certificates lost in the fire - 90
▪ # of other docs lost (excluding HLP docs) - 91
▪ # of Land Related Documents lost in the fire - 21 (mostly Dalil and
Khatian).
▪ Issues: Most of the beneficiaries were not aware about the application
procedures for such documents as NID, birth certificate, passport, etc.
▪ They often have to turn to the brokers or intermediaries, which involves
additional financial costs and further obstructs the access to the civil and
identity documentation.
▪ Beneficiaries also not giving priority to replace the documents as most ofthem are lives on hand to mouth.
