Project: Master Site Planning in Dollo Ado, Ethopia
The master site planning approach brings new ideas to the current design of refugee camps – including rethinking how to design the camp layout, shelter communities, and sharing host community and refugee services. Throughout his Fellowship, Anicet will test different parts of camp design, from locations of services to alternative shelter units, and then will take the feedback to create a master site planning proposal to present at headquarters for wider use.
