Process vs product
• Hexayurt• Universally
rejected by Shelter sector
• Brilliant design
• Yet inappropriate
Dignity
• Living conditions– Would you want your Mum to live in it?– Would you live in it?– Where / how do you:
• Wash? / Cook? / Sleep? / Relax? / Defecate?– How much space do people need?– How do you ensure security?
• What are the aspirations and expectations?• Is their acceptance by the local population?
Participation
• Include the people in the design– Participatory planning sessions
• Needs assessment– Consider (ask) what they want/need
• Have you included all social group?– Women, children, elderly, disabled, discriminated
• How will the people manage their homes?
Ownership
• Who owns the land?– Has the population migrated?– Has the disaster displaced them?– Do they have land tenure?
• Who ultimately owns the shelter?– How do you ensure ownership?
• How will it be maintained?
Labour
• Where does the labour come from?– Pay a contractor?
• Good in extreme circumstances.• Who pays? Who gets the houses? Who owns them?
– Source from a community base?• Good if communities still exist and for central buildings• Who builds? How do you distribute?
– Get individuals to build their own homes?• How can they afford this? What about livelihood? Child
protection?
Resource and distribution
• Where do the materials come from?• How do you distribute them to people?
– Cash / voucher systems– Handouts– Local suppliers / markets
• How quickly do you need them and at what scale?
• How will you transport materials?• Are materials sustainably sourced?
Skills
• What skills are available locally?• How complex is your design?• Would people need supervision?• What about setting up capacity building
programme?– Advice and information centre– Construction training
Governance
• Humanitarian agencies do not work without the consent of the Government
• Projects must be established within existing governmental structures
• Does aid remove the burden on governments to provide for their own people?
