IFRC is the leading agency in the shelter sector for natural disasters– and few other agencies have shelter in their mandate

National Societies implement a wide range of emergency, transitional and permanent housing. However only since 2006 IFRC has created a Shelter Department.

Beyond emergency response

households will over time extend and upgrade shelter solutions provided using materials, cash, contracted local labour or self-help

Emergency response should support the sheltering process providing materials, cash, contracted local labour or self-help + technical support as appropriate

damaged/destroyed home The issues of tenure

SHELTER Session for

trainings Other aspects to consider…

Lack of shelter counterpart within HNS Shelter response should be linked with watsan, health,

livelihood (integrated approach) and general relief programming.

Shelter is often a key component of recovery programming – consider household livelihood activities and potential local economic impact of shelter response.

Procurement & Logistics and relief are key to successful shelter.

Gender and crosscutting issues Include monitoring & evaluation of the solution in

budget.
