Project Context & Scope

Shelter Projects is a joint initiative to develop learning and understanding around good shelter
programming, it centres around a collection of global case studies developed through an
interagency consultative process which has already completed nine editions since 2008. Shelter
Projects aims to support learning from past responses in order to inform current and future
practice. As such, Shelter Projects includes case studies of a wide range of different
approaches to shelter and settlements assistance. Case studies highlight both good practices
and challenges encountered and reflect on what could have been done differently.
Scope of work:

  • Conduct a desk review of existing literature and data on the use of Shelter Projects by
    academic stakeholders, as well as the needs and preferences of these stakeholders for
    shelter-related learning and research.
  • Develop a stakeholder mapping, or methodology, to identify the key academic stakeholders in
    the shelter and settlements space, especially from the global south, and including but not limited
    to the humanitarian context.
  • Design and implement a stakeholder engagement plan, using appropriate tools and methods,
    such as direct engagement, surveys, interviews, and workshops, to collect feedback and input
    from the identified stakeholders on the use and value of Shelter Projects, as well as the gaps
    and opportunities for improvement and innovation.
  • Analyze and synthesize the findings and recommendations from the stakeholder engagement
    process, and produce a concise report that outlines the current and potential use of Shelter
    Projects by academic stakeholders, and the products and services that currently or would best
    suit their needs and interests. The report should be accompanied by or include one or more
    specific products drawing from the Shelter Projects repository to better engage with academic
    stakeholders, as well as recommendations that can support the team in their engagement going
    forward.
