Cordaid’s shelter programme

• A new structure for a house and support to

finish the house.

• Repairs to damaged houses (yellow houses).

• WASH (water, sanitation and hygiene).

• Small Community or neighbourhood

infrastructure improvements.

• Protection/legal support in respect of security

of tenure (landownership rights).

Implementation Strategy

Implementation at community level:

• Field survey, assessments including physical mapping

• Community Action Planning

• Beneficiary Selection for Shelter

• Shelter Construction

• WASH

• Community improvements Other community infrastructure provisions i.e. solid waste disposal, drainage, roads, retaining walls etc

Community Action Planning (CAP)

• CAP is a tool or a technique to stimulate planning processes with active involvement of the residents of a particular neighbourhood.

• The objective is to stimulate and empower the populations to identify and prioritize development interventions relating to reconstruction (shelter, water and sanitation, legal assistance/land rights, community managed disaster risk reduction as a minimum) and

• socio-economic development in order for them to receive assistance in implementation of these interventions.

• The result is a neighbourhood plan that contains the summary of priority actions for reconstruction.
