The Shelter and Non-Food Items (NFI) Working Group works in close collaboration with the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs (MLSA) and the Ministry of Territorial Administration and Infrastructure (MOTAI).
Although most requests for NFI assistance come from local governments and community-based organizations (CBOs), efforts are ongoing to strengthen coordination and information sharing among stakeholders through the MLSA.
Our partners' planned shelter activities are structured around three main objectives:
Renovation and renovation of shelters (collective shelters and private housing) incorporating green energy solutions and winter support to ensure a dignified living environment for refugees. This includes providing emergency shelter support by supplying prefabricated containers for short- and medium-term temporary accommodation.
Provide support for infrastructure restoration to ensure refugees in shelters have access to basic services such as hot water, clean energy, and sanitation.
Initiate mechanisms to ensure refugees have access to affordable and dignified housing. This includes the reuse of vacant buildings, social housing initiatives, community-led housing projects, rent subsidies and guarantees, housing vouchers, the acquisition of underutilized housing from homeowners, and housing gift schemes. This includes intermediation and supplementation through repair subsidies. NFI distribution of items such as hygiene kits, bedding (including pillows, blankets, mattresses, bed linen, beds), cold protection (including electric heaters, solid fuel, sourced locally if possible), kitchen sets and clothing, It is tailored to: The expressed needs of refugees. Local governments are responsible for organizing the distribution of NFIs with the support of volunteers and their CBOs, UN agencies and NGOs. Additionally, dignity kits for women and girls will be provided. Wherever possible, we will rely on cash-based interventions.
Partners will continue to address the pressing gender-specific needs of women, girls, boys, and men in refugee and host communities regarding safe access to and availability of water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) services.
Partners will also address WASH needs in schools and other social infrastructure facilities, as appropriate.
