Transitional Settlement, Displaced Populations - Softcover
It is often the national or regional coordinators of organizations who make decisions about whether to support the building of a refugee camp or to support refugees living with host families. Technical specialists, such as physical planners, are not always available until later on in the emergency. Compared with other sectors of response, there has been very little guidance to support coordinators and specialists in making these decisions.
These guidelines, developed by Shelterproject.org at the University of Cambridge, support coordinators and specialists in responding to transitional settlement and shelter needs of displaced populations and their hosts, improving appropriateness, quality, and sustainability. They include best-practice strategic, program, and project planning tools, in addition to a reference section. The book will be useful for planners and managers in Humanitarian programs, especially those involved with shelter/protection, and also for students involved in planning, architecture and development studies courses; policy and research people in NGOs and government.

Book Description:
For the estimated 20 million refugees and 25 million internally displaced people worldwide, well-planned settlements can help maximize their protection and security, and support them by minimizing the spread of disease. It can also help them manage their natural resources sustainably and maintain good relations with their hosts until they can find a new, more permanent home. The result of extensive consultations with a wide range of specialist organizations, these guidelines offer coordinators and specialists a planning tool that links strategy, programmers, and projects with technical information to support implementation.
