Updated Strategy Two hub meetings held in Tacloban and Cebu attended well by beneficiaries, local authorities, local and national NGOs and international agencies. Roxas was due to have one tomorrow in Iloilo but that has been postponed to next week. The aim of the meetings were to provide contributions to the Shelter Cluster’s strategy and identify means of operationasiling further its strategy – essentially to help develop a roadmap for the emergency shelter response for the short & medium term.

Recommendations around 3 key issues: How do we prioritise activities in order to cover the gaps, and ensure equity What are the prioritised activities for agencies to contribute towards building back better How do we support local government/actors?

Survey Monkey - 25 agencies contribution to date Allied Recovery International ADRA NICCO Lutherian World Relief Bohol Evangelical Disaster Response Network Islamic Relief Worldwide Save the Children Secours Islamique France Citizen's Disaster Response Center Danish People's Aid Medair World Renew Shelter for Humanity Habitat for Humanity Philippines FDSA Handicap International HelpAge/Cose Care Philippines Association for Aid and Relief - AAR Japan ICAN foundation Catholic Relief Services Helping Hand for Relief & Development SOS Attitude Philippines Red Cross

Type of shelter interventions (1) Retrofitting & Repairing (material distribution)- 60% (2) Rebuilding (material distribution) - 52% (3) Transitional Shelter (construction)- 36% (4) Progressive (core) Shelter (construction) - 32%

Building Back Better – Safer (1) Training - orientation to beneficiaries- 76% (2) Training for carpenters and other skilled workers - 72% (3) Community awareness & mobilization campaigns (Vulnerability and Capacity Assessments, Participatory methodologies on Safe Shelter)- 52%

Critical technical issues SHELTER CLUSTER to prioritize AGENCIES to contribute (1) Housing, land and property rights 68% 12% (2) Building Back Better & Safer shelter awareness 44% 24% (3) Technical guidance / standards on engineered solutions 40% 16% (4) Emergency Market Mapping Analysis (EMMA) - Shelter material market analysis 36% 0% (5) Beneficiary communication and community engagement 28% 32% (6) Emergency Shelter Reinforcement and Retrofitting (7) WASH for Shelter 20%

What are the prioritised activities for agencies to contribute towards building back better If we are supporting self-build, how do we actually ensure houses are built back safer. Do we have to go beyond materials, cash, IEC material and training carpenters: Outreach strategy: Through agencies Through the media Outreach/roadshow Assessments?

How do we support local government/actors? Municipal Shelter Focal Points Training TESDA Training DRR Training Communication – Community Committees Capacity build LGUs with technical assistance/assessments

Vulnerability targeting (1) Female-single headed households – 85% (2) Persons with disabilities or chronic illness – 81% (3) Older persons - 81%

TARGETING STRATEGY STRATEGY CURRENT OUTLOOK There will be a limit to the number of people who we will be able to reach with durable shelter solutions

Emergency Shelter 108,914 HH 21% 62,071 HH 12% 340,808 HH 66% Other region : 8,382 HH / 2%

Emergency Shelter

Are there still gaps? Survey monkey Do you think that there are still gaps and a need for emergency shelter distributions in your area of intervention? Yes 56% - No 48% - Maybe 28%

EMERGENCY SHELTER GAPS Can you help identify gaps in emergency shelter? Proposed for 4W reporting – 2 qualitative indicators 1) Are there gaps in emergency shelter? Select one - Large gaps - Some gaps, but mostly covered - Few gaps - No gaps 2) Comments – points of concern, deteriorating quality, potential relocation issues

Support to Self Recovery 53,688 HH 28% 18,321 HH 10% 114,046 HH 60% 190,055 HH Other region : 4,000 HH / 2%

Support to Self Recovery

What do we know about self recovery? 70% of household will need help to recover their housing REACH ASSESSMENT FINDINGS Data collected in early December 2013

What do we know about self recovery? 44% of partially damaged houses will be able to complete with their own resources, compared to only 9% of totally damaged houses Data collected in early December 2013

Support to Self Recovery

TARGETTING AND VULNERABILITY Damage to household Pre-existing vulnerability

Transition Plan IASC request to the shelter and early recovery/livelihoods clusters by February 5th This is not directly about relief to recovery nor cluster deactivation but about the downgrading of L3 to something else Appears to be first time it has been done Will be a very short document – maximum two pages Criteria for declaration of an L3 – are these still in existence? Scale Capacity Complexity Urgency Reputational Risk

Areas which will be considered in the plan are: 1.       A continuing requirement to address critical humanitarian needs and the violation of human rights; 2.       The need to maintain accountability for delivery in key sectors; 3.       The existence, capacity and willingness of national counterparts to lead sectoral coordination; 4.       The possibility of recurring or new disasters.  Additionally we need to include capacity building (with considerations around global to regional surge capacity) and preparedness activities.
