Introduction to 4 afternoon breakout groups:

1. Demand-led research

Shelter Centre


Breakout group 1: Demand-led research

Optimising technical applied research for shelter



Humanitarian shelter specialistsDemand: knowledge of the real problems on the ground



Academic and research institutionsSupply: capacity for technical research




Academic and research institutionsSupply: capacity for technical research


Match these to optimise technical applied research for the shelter sector



Proposed approach

Shelter MeetingHumanitarians continue to identify achievable priorities

Annual Shelter Research ConferenceResearchers agree projects with humanitariansManagement of review processConference scheduled next to Shelter Meeting

Technical Project Working GroupsReview each project

FundingSupport for research proposals from NGOs, UN bodies and RC members creates a strong position from which to seek funding



Q1: Is this the right approach?

Q2: Do you want to participate?

Q3: We will propose some priorities for research:Do you agree with these?Do you have others to add?


Breakout group 2: Regional shelter hubs

Regional hubs could improve effectiveness of response


Regional cooperation can improve effectiveness of shelter response through:

• linking regional and global demand-led research• linking disaster preparedness and response• linking existing national and regional initiatives • linking governments and local, national and regional NGOs• sharing good practice• developing regional tools and good practice



Proposed approach

Assessment• of demand within regions for hubs: ‘pull not push’• of existing regional initiatives and organisations

Pilot project• choose one suitable region• run a regional meeting, training, research conference• external impetus to catalyse a sustainable initiative

Objective of regional hubs on every continent• connected to each other on the Internet• direct B2B communication between regions



Q1: Is this the right approach?

Q2: What is your experience of regional initiatives?

Q3: Would a regional office of your agency be interested in participating?

Q4: Do the universities represented here have interested regional partners?

Q5: Which region would be most suitable for a pilot project?

3. Case study database

Shelter Centre


Shelter Centre is developing, in collaboration with NRC, a new ‘case study machine’

It will include all case studies available publically

The new approach to supporting operational decision-making is surrounding the case studies with related guidance, standards, checklists, evaluations, training materials and other case studies

3. Case study machine

Common challenges to using case studies:

• they offer only one dimension of information

• only a few are usually generated in each format before each project ends

• they are stored in different locations and are not related



Evaluations

Construction guidelines

Risk management guidelines

Agency standards

Minimum standards

Other case studies

Checklists



Question 1

Will you find the case study machine useful in operational decision-making?



Question 1


Question 2

Do you have any case studies that we can use?

Question 2

Do you have any case studies that we can use?

Question 3

Will you contribute to funding it?
