Slide-2

Coordination Coordination with stakeholders i.e. Cluster leads, relevant government authorities, leading shelter actors, donors, local actors and partners for global coverage, critical needs, gaps to see the potential role of the organization to step in and add value

To analyze the context to deliver a context-appropriate assistance 0.5 Mins

Slide-3

Need & Gap Analysis Analyzing available baseline information if any i.e. Damage assessments, MSNA, REACH, 4W etc and conducting targeted Rapid Need Assessments in gap locations

To understand demography, level of severity / damage and vulnerability in specific context and ensure the needs/gaps are measured

Slide-4

Capacity Correlating context and needs to organizational sector specific strategy (boundaries), technical and operational strengths and weaknesses from HQ, regional to local context i.e. SWOT analysis, region and country’ operational strategy, Partnership, available and expected Resources (Funds and HR) etc

To design a viable product and process To know organizational needs to sync with response demand

Slide-5

Standards Consulting Local shelter cluster strategy, key shelter actors’ response, organization’ own guidelines and government counterpart ‘guidelines in addition to global standards i.e. SPHERE etc.

To comply with global and local standards and guidelines To design a uniform assistance package

Slide-6

Time-line

COTEXT & NEEDS equation alone determine needed timeline for assistance to be relevant and together with organizational CAPACITY analyses equate to a TIME-LINE for the intended intervention (Product and Process)

To determine the timeline for the relevant assistance in addition to viability                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     1 Mins

ContextNeedsCapacityTimeline

ProductProduct should be designed (or opted from already available options)* in the light of correlation analyses of context, needs/gaps, capacity, standards and time-line

Defining Intervention logic (key intended results, impacts, objectives, activities) are as important as shelter product itself (Direct & Indirect benefits) keeping gender & protection at the core of the product design

Integrated approach leads a Shelter to a settlement i.e. livelihood opportunities, WASH, Gender & Protection, Health, HLP, Community infrastructures

*If Emergency Shelter kits, Repairing kits, Sealing off kits, Transitional Shelter etc are defined by the leading cluster agency or donors in specific context

Slide-8

ProcessImplementation strategy / approach (PROCESS) has to define how to deliver the product timely.

Program Quality framework (MEAL) to be the driver of the program to achieve the intended results and impacts

Community consultation, engagement and local capacity building (empowerment) to promote social cohesion

Implementation approach opted should promote the local economy if possible
