Task:
Evaluation of Oxfam Solidarité’s ECHO funded project to address disaster preparedness and mitigation in Sahrawi camps in the context of sheltering processes at settlement and household level. Using shelter decision trees, the field team illustrated choices faced by householders as they sought to change their shelter situation.
Key Lessons:
- To evaluate the impact of technical interventions and training, the programme and construction design decisions must include analysis of why people build in a particular place and in a particular way; who decides; who builds; who pays; who checks on what is being built; and what aesthetic, cultural or structural standards do they check against.
- Household decision-making follows a different sequence and logic from the shelter programming algorithm in technical guidance
