3. T. Shelter evaluation tool The transitional shelter evaluation tool will: • offer a tool for transforming evaluations into case studies • offer a general template for the evaluation of transitional shelter projects • allow for the easy comparison of transitional shelter projects Shelter meeting 10 b is hosted by OCHA Thursday 2 December 2010

5. Progress since SM 9 a Key suggestions gathered during the Pakistan evaluation mission for Transitional Shelter Guidelines: • a ‘tool’ to assist the selection of TS types based on climate, culture, available materials, available labour, etc • best practise guidance on general construction, use of materials and DRR techniques for the most common TS ‘types’ • the guidelines should be suitable for use by field staff with little or no technical experience Shelter meeting 10 b is hosted by OCHA Thursday 2 December 2010
