1. Shelter After Disasterthe revision in two phases of 'Shelter After Disaster - Guidelines for Assistance', the key guidelines first published by UNDRO in 1982

a collaboration between Shelter Centre and OCHA

the revised guidelines will be published by OCHA in 2008

the first phase of the revision will be a scoping study

the revised guidelines may be accompanied by a parallel compendium of case studies and papers

tangible impact:

there will be consensus field guidance for stakeholders on post disaster settlement

the revision process will begin this afternoon

2. Shelter Principlesthe development and agreement of guiding principles for the sector

at the last Shelter Meeting (November 2004) it was agreed to develop a common set of guiding principles for transitional settlement and shelter that would precede three different sub-sets of principles for those who are:

(a) displaced, (b) affected by natural disasters, (c) reconstructing their homes following conflicts

tangible impact:

there will be a brief and clear consensus approach to future disasters

2. Shelter Principles feedbackwhich publications can these principles be integrated into?

which other initiatives should these principles be linked with?

which languages should they be available in?

3. Shelter Moduledefinition, development, testing, and publication of the specifications for a new transitional family shelter, involving a consortium

• transitional shelter for both conflict and natural disasters

• designed to be adapted by beneficiaries

• easy to manufacture, stock pile and airlift

tangible impact:

increased availability of shelters that can be stockpiled for emergency response and that can be manufactured using open source specs and designs



3. Shelter Module phase 1funding by USAID/OFDA for the development of a performance specification for the Shelter Module

what transitional shelter module do you need?

… is this the right approach to developing it?



4. Shelter Coordination(a) develop and agree simple sectoral coordination tools

(b) disseminate, practise and contribute to existing sectoral tools for coordination and preparedness capacity

building

(c) develop a delivery system for products and services

when developing and implementing strategies in the field in the past, we found that the steps on the next slide were useful

for this product, it may not be possible to develop and agree tools for all of these steps

it should be possible to agree what the steps should be

tangible impact:

there will be tools for sectoral coordination agreed and practised by stakeholders



4. Shelter Coordination4.1 develop a coordination structure

from emergency transiting to return/reconstruction4.2 develop a common assessment method

linking to monitoring and evaluation4.3 map where people are in what TS options

what proportion are with host families, and where?4.4 map areas of responsibility

what capacity is where to ensure equitable support?4.5 map the progress of works

updated regularly4.6 agree specific guiding principles and standards

adopting those relevant to the situation4.7 describe the appropriate TS options

eg what support should be offered to host families?4.8 describe major implementing steps

what will happen in winter, or in another quake?4.9 a public consultation and information strategy

beneficiaries, government, and aid community4.10 a handover or exit strategy

when should each phase stop and how?

In the past we’ve found these 10 steps useful…

building on our websites and CD we are developing a better delivery system… Shelter Base



4. Shelter Coordination

Shelter Base will be developed over the next year as the delivery mechanism for Shelter Coordination and all Shelter Centre services

Shelter Base will:

1. not need to be installed on your Hard Drive

2. run off Hard Drive, USB key, RWCD-ROM, or internet

3. be freely distributable

4. be continuously improved

5. update itself at your command....

Shelter Base

will include:

Shelter Library

Shelter Training

Shelter Coordination

Shelter Register

Shelter Funding

presenter: Matthew SlaterShelter Centre




when there is new information available, you will receive a small message asking you which information you wish to download to update your Shelter Base, eg:




Shelter Base can be expanded to include a number of coordination, implementation, and management tools:

• tools to share maps, assessments, strategies etc.• tools to make maps, such as for areas of responsibility.• tools to run coordination meetings• tools to share contact details

all these tools will be simple to use, without training

the tools will look like web sites,

but you will be able to edit them like Word documents



4. Shelter Coordination feedback4.1 develop a coordination structure

4.2 develop a common assessment method

4.3 map where people are in what TS options

4.4 map areas of responsibility

4.5 map the progress of works

4.6 agree specific guiding principles and standards

4.7 describe the appropriate TS options

4.8 describe major implementing steps

4.9 a public consultation and information strategy

4.10 a handover or exit strategy

comments on the 10 steps?

is this the right way to proceed?

are any coordination elements not included?
