Shelter Cluster PalestineBuilding cluster capacity for assessments Shelter Cluster Coordination Workshop, Geneva, 2nd October 2017
Rationale: • $236m recorded on FTS between 2014-2016 • $626.5m recorded on norg.report • - $9m initial emergency response/winterization; $6m T-shelter/caravans; $<90m cash for rent; $207m repairs; $335m reconstruction • Two-phased approach with support of REACH: • Phase I: Qualitative Lessons Learned exercise • To gather and collate collective knowledge, experiences and best practices • Phase II: Quantitative Data collection • To test/validate qualitative data and gain statistically significant data on key achievements and residual needs • Overall recommendations for future response Gaza Shelter Response Evaluation
July - September 2016: • ‘Lessons Learned’ exercise to capture sector knowledge • Secondary data review • Lessons Learned workshop • Online survey • Purposively sampled semi-structured KIIs • Reflections: • External REACH facilitator with good knowledge of context • Focus on humanitarian (emergency response, temporary assistance and durable repairs) clarified cluster scope • Results: • Need for better prioritization and targeting of assistance • Need for agreed minimum shelter standard • Need for quantitative data verification of findings Phase 1: Qualitative participative evaluation
October – December 2016: • Household survey of 1,037 households (vs 1,195) • Sampled per damage category • 95% confidence +/- 5.64% • 25 teams, 14 days, budget $30,000 incl partner contributions • Reflections: • Keep ToR/objectives in mind • Be clear on roles/responsibilities • Clarity in questions: • Damage asst data vs beneficiary perception • Lack of distinction in cash assistance • Results: • Presented to donors to highlight recommendations for future response and outstanding needs • MPWH revised shelter assistance policy (discussions ongoing) Phase 2: Quantitative data collection
Minimum standards TWG: • Support from GSC Technical Surge Coordinator • 30 criteria agreed by SC partners • Coordination and buy-in from MPWH • Housing conditions survey: • 2012 report by NRC – no quantitative information • Representative sample from two sources • MCIT population registration • MoSA hardship cases • 95% confidence +/- 4.56% • 20 teams, 10 days, budget $13,000 (+ in kind) Minimum standards housing conditions survey
REACH evaluation: • Buy in from cluster members on outcome level/better monitoring • Set agenda for cluster workplan/TWGs • Influence on MPWH policy and CB on IM • Housing conditions survey: • Experience used to inform cluster-led survey • Shelter standard in MIC, coord with MPWH/MoSA • Data used for HNO PiN • Definition of IDP? • Now in process of data analysis • Capacity building for IM/report writing Building cluster capacity for assessments
