1. Shelter Environment Advisor Field Review: Haiti
C. Kelly
ProAct Network (

2. Field Review Review environment-focused tools developed
Review role and work of Environment Advisor within field Cluster operation
Assist in technical support to Cluster
Part of a Shelter Cluster-funded project to improve integration of environment into shelter operations

12. Situation Overview Cluster was not advanced as expected
No general needs or damage assessments done
Limited number of NGOs involved in Shelter operations
Significant unmet needs
Focus on clean-up of Gonaives
Staff Overload and Capacity Gaps

13. Environment Advisor Most of ToR not accomplished
Focused more on supporting on-going operations: field visits and inputs on operational issues
Resource demand issues could not be assessed due to lack of information.
Unclear role vis-à-vis Early Recovery

14. Shelter Cluster Issues
Adequate staffing: An Environment Advisor will become a Shelter Technical Advisor when the latter is lacking.
Understanding the Roles of Cluster Advisors
Need a minimum of operational agencies to make the Cluster work as a Cluster
Shelter Cluster and Early Recovery Cluster responsibilities need to be clarified
Accountability and Advocacy not strong

15. Thank You
