13. SUSTAINABLE SHELTER SOLUTIONS
HOW CAN WE ENSURE THAT FULL HOUSING LAND AND PROPERTY RIGHTS ARE INCLUDED? HLP is not only the plot of land that the people own. 2. IDPs (willing to locally integrate) also need access to the natural resources surrounding the relocaiton site (grazing lands, access to boreholes/berkads, agricultural land…) 3. IDPs should also have access to natural building materials that surround the relocation site (sand quarry, natural rock, soil…)
HOUSING LAND AND PROPERTY

14. SUSTAINABLE SHELTER SOLUTIONS
HOW CAN WE REDUCE THE COST OF CONSTRUCTION AND INCREASE OWNERSHIP? It is generally known that owner driven housing projects have a better value for money compared to contractor driven approaches. 2. To ensure quality, a strong component of capacity building needs to be incorporated. 3. A strong focus should be made on providing the beneficiaries with informed choices. Everybody has different needs and capacity.

15. SUSTAINABLE SHELTER SOLUTIONS
HOW CAN WE MAKE THE SHELTER PROJECTS MORE SUSTAINABLE AND LOCALLY SUITABLE? 1. It is generally known that we have promoted construction techniques that are not sustainable as they are not adapted to the purchase capacity of the beneficiaries. For example: less than 5% of the beneficiaries who received a cement block house were able to expand their house with the same construction technique. 2. A thorough study of local building culture needs to be done, linking this to the access to natural building resources like sand, rock and soil. 3. Using and understanding LBC helps to reduce the cost of the shelter.
LOCAL BUILDING CULTURE

16. SUSTAINABLE SHELTER SOLUTIONS
HOW CAN WE MAKE OUR SHELTER PROJECTS BETTER VALUE FOR MONEY? It is generally known that many buildings can be reduced in cost with simple components of building back safer. 1. Invest in a good foundation and a good hat to protect your building. This should be done with water-resistant materials. 2. Use local building cultures (non-cement based materials) for the construction in-between the roof and foundation. 3. Disaster Risk Reduction: choose the locaiton of the building properly 4. Include localized constraints in technical solutions: termites, water-barrier, bracing of building for high winds…
