Step 1: reflect on your experience 5 mins Step 1: reflect on your experience Reflection individually Fill out the matrix handout found in your participant manual: choose one response you were involved in and check the boxes corresponding to the assistance methods and transitional settlement options used

Step 2: share your experience 15 mins Step 2: share your experience Discussion in groups Share your matrices in your group a. Compare experiences of each response combining different assistance methods for an appropriate support package, depending on the settlement option and needs b. Discuss the lessons learned including: - changes in packages over time - conflict and disaster differences - settlement option differences c. Use the flipchart to list the conclusions reached and the key point to share with the other groups lessons learned 1. 2. 3. 4. Each group agrees a key point Key point
