  4. Top Challenges We Face… • Coordination – (External) • Technical Design, Program decisions – (Internal) • Obtaining Donor Money – (External) • Unable to follow the Cluster Shelter Strategy – (Internal) • Up to date damage information for intervention – (most affected) – (Internal) • Skilled Shelter staff – (Internal) • Areas for intervention – (External) • Land rights – (External) • Cash Flow – (Internal) • Material supply and management – (Internal) • Capacity building – (Internal) • Skilled labour (masons) – (External)

  5. Summary of the Oxfam Shelter program

  6. 1 year after the floods most people are still living under canvas, low quality open shelter or dangerous unrepaired damaged buildings • People are resilient and survive, but their coping capacity is to bounce back is very low. • Increased mortality rates and sickness in children under 5 in non reconstructed villages

  7. Oxfam Shelter Commitment • Location Sindh • Dadu - 900 + (500 tbc) = 1400 • Jamshoro + Thata = 750 • Total = 2150 • Todays presentation is with the work of implementing partner RDF in Dadu • “Research and Development Foundation” • RDF's vision is of an equitable and eco friendly world

  8. Village Approach Also supported with: • Water – Hand pumps • Hygiene Promotion • Latrines • Hygiene Promotion • Livelihood programs • Poultry distribution • Cash for Work • Agricultural inputs

  12. The Implementation Process • In Detail…..

  13. The Implementation Process by Village • In Summary

  14. Strengths • Community solidarity strengthen • led to Community driven Development plans • led to Community driven infrastructure rebuilding • led to community resilience • more focus on gender equality • Housing… • led to secure safe private space • led to hygiene improvements • led to a space to develop further

  15. Weaknesses • Flexibility – in the size of the house • Not following the tranche cluster strategy • Not working in areas with land rights Issues • Potential conflict with larger cost and lower cost programs • Material intervention of CSEB difficult to implement.

  16. Opportunities • Community mobilisation • for community infrastructure • for schools • for Mosque • for hygiene programs • for health clinics and programs

  17. Learning • Standardisation of the design • Mobilisation of the community • Speed – deliver what you say to the village • Level of Approach – Village, not house • Contained areas of work • Preparedness against bottlenecks • Finance • Human Resources • Material logistics • Position closer to field location

  18. Learning Cont.… • Involve and build relationships with the contractors • Monitoring and Quality control • Define roles and responsibility • Use of drop box • Team formation Keep all your work in a contained area. It makes logistics and mutual support easier. • Regular Learning Reviews

  19. Don’t Rush in!!! • So you have carried out a pilot. • Did you learn from it? • The Design – standardised? • The Team Structure • The community impact • The Processes made into SOP’s. • Adjusted the budget based on pilot? Learn, Learn, LEARN!!!!!!

  20. So now you want to scale up… • Make your life easier by. • Scale up your team from Pilot to Operational size before you go to the first village. • Spend time capacity building the team • Find the contractors before the assessments • Keep all your work in a contained area. It makes logistics and mutual support easier.

  21. Before you go into the first Village… • Have you got all the forms ready? Did you test them. • Have you got a clear process? • Are you ready to follow up with construction soon after assessment?

  22. workshop • Aimed at: • The Shelter Managers • The Engineers • The Social Mobilisers • DATE - TBC – 12 – 17 September • If interested: email proberts@oxfam.org.uk

  23. Request to ERHWG • Re-awaken the “design comparison review.” • Comparison of designs and modality of implementation • to be a constructive feedback and lessons learnt • to visit and assess other NGO’s sites. • Report rate of progress (Number of shelters delivered / Number of Implementing Partners / No of months working) • Bring other NGO’s in to shelter • Do no Harm and Build back better
