CENDEP and CARE UK, with other partners, have been working for several years to advocate for an approach to humanitarian Shelter and Settlements assistance that supports shelter self-recovery, recognised by the Global Shelter Cluster and many humanitarian actors as being appropriate, effective and good value-for-money. However, to date, there has been no guidance on how to do this in practice.
