4. Project background


Guidelines currently undergoing major restructuring taking on board ideas from:

•IOM (project funders)

•project implementers, interviewed during Pakistan mission

•recent publications

Evaluation mission to Pakistan undertaken:

•collection of case studies

•interviews with project implementers

•testing of evaluation tool



Key suggestions gathered during the Pakistan evaluation mission for Transitional Shelter Guidelines:

•a ‘tool’ to assist the selection of TS types based on climate, culture, available materials, available labour, etc

•best practise guidance on general construction, use of materials and DRR techniques for the most common TS ‘types’

•the guidelines should be suitable for use by field staff with little or no technical experience
