12 common assistance methods
Transitional settlement and reconstruction after natural disasters
(United Nations, 2008)
Household non-food items (NFIs)- cooking sets, blankets, etc.
Shelter non-food items (NFIs)- construction timber, tools, etc.
Transitional shelter- habitable, covered, healthy, secure, private living space achievement of a durable shelter solution
Community labour- for simple design projects and traditions of self-building
Contracted labour- for large or complex projects, infrastructure
Direct labour- for small projects and rapid response
Cash- dispersed directly to beneficiaries in phases
Vouchers- an alternative to cash for materials or services
Loans and guarantees- when there is stable access to supplies and repayment is feasible
Local information centres- for info throughout the response
Capacity building- integrates training
Technical expertise- to support all assistance methods

6. Combining assistance methods
These assistance methods are not alternatives, but are combined in order to create appropriate packages, depending on the combination of transitional settlement options supported
Natural disaster example:
Home owner-occupier
Storm
Storm damage
Host family
Information centre
Assistance methods
Cash
Household NFIs

7. Another scenario
Support packages may be coordinated between transitional settlement options, for example in offering information centres
Conflict example:
Home owner-occupier
Conflict
Conflict damage
Self-settled camps
Information centre
Assistance methods
Technical expertise
Shelter NFIs
Community labour

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

10. 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

11. Considerations for every operation
For all combinations of assistance methods:
Local information centres and technical advice may be considered in every response package
Balance and combine labour and resources appropriately
Provide equity between settlement options supported
Assistance methods offered to more than one transitional settlement option can be coordinated operationally
