SHELTER

The Shelter Sector partners continue to respond to Eastern

Ghouta and Afrin emergencies. So far a total of 41,007 people

have been assisted in eight different sites hosting IDPs from

Eastern Ghouta and 2,556 people have been assisted in Nubul

and Zahara with different shelter interventions.

Most of the IDP sites that host IDPs from Eastern Ghouta are still

overcrowded with an average occupancy rate over 200%.

Site preparation works at Herjelleh and Karnak IDP sites are

completed and once WASH works are implemented, tents will be

installed. The collective capacity of these two sites is 6,150

individuals. The capacity does not account the hangar at Karnak.

The Technical Working Group continues to review three

guidelines corresponding to three main shelter emergency

responses, and they are: Rehabilitation of Collective Shelters,

Upgrading of Private Un-finished Buildings, and Shelter Kits.

Programme Monitoring and Evaluation: The Shelter Sector IM

team is planning to roll out the Activity Info to replace the

Excel-based 4W. In this regard, three sector partners volunteer

for the pilot phase. Sector IM team has a plan to train sector

partners in May 2018 who agreed to pilot Activity Info.

CRISIS BACKGROUND: The crisis in Syrian Arab Republic that

started in March 2011 has transformed into a complex emergency that

has displaced around 6.1 million people in various parts of the country.

As per the 2018 Humanitarian Needs Overview, around 13.1 million

people are in need of humanitarian assistance of which around 4.2

million people are in need of shelter support and other multi-sectorial

assistance as they continue to struggle in an unsafe and uncertain

environment. Due to the protracted nature of the hostilities, many of

both displaced and host communities become more vulnerable and

their ability to cope and find safe and durable shelter solutions have

been greatly affected. The humanitarian community has been

challenged to both provide emergency and life-saving shelter solutions

while building back community cohesion and resilience through

provision of adequate shelter assistance.

The Syrian Society for Social Development (SSSD) is a

non- profit, non-religious and non-political NGO; registered

with Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor (MOSAL).

The founding members of SSSD have come together from

varied geographical, cultural and professional backgrounds

to provide an effective response to the needs and

challenges of Syrian youth.

SSSD is active in Syria since July , 2009 and has been

providing services in Shelter, WASH, Disaster Risk

Reduction, and Protection related interventions. SSSD has

700 staff members and has an extensive network of more

than 1500 volunteers in 9 governorates of Syria. SSSD is

planning to expand its presence to Ar-Raqqa, Dará, and

Deir ez Zor governorates contingent to the security

situation.

SSSD is an active partner of the Shelter Sector, and have

implemented different shelter activities such as upgrading

of unfinished buildings, camp construction, and

construction of transitional housing. Recently SSSD has

planned the distribution/ installation of shelter kits,

rehabilitation of collective shelter/ damage houses in Homs

and Rural Damascus.

The major partners and donors of SSSD are MoE, MoLAE,

MoSAL, OCHA, Questscop, UNDP, UNFPA, UNICEF,

UNHCR, and WHO.

Lack of shelter materials and manpower as well strict

security protocols have posed major challenges to the

speedy shelter rehabilitation in locations that are severe-

ly devastated (i.e. Deir ez-Zor);

Access and safety are the key challenges in some parts

of the country as well as partner capacity and heavy

processes along with funding constraints;

Increasing needs, diminishing coping capacities of both

the IDPs and host communities, and limited financial

resources of the government to provide shelter compen-

sation require sector partners to scale up operational

presence;

Shelter and infrastructure needs are huge and the Shel-

ter Sector partners collectively do not have capacity to

meet all the needs;

Issues related to the loss of occupancy documents de-

prived some population from accessing shelter supports;

Opportunities for systematic field-based data collection

remain very limited due to access or authorization re-

strictions, resulting in incomplete needs analysis in

some areas.
