Highlights
At the request of national governments, the Pacific Shelter Cluster continued to support national shelter clusters in 2020 with the coordination of four country-level emergency responses in Vanuatu and Fiji reaching around 23,429 households (119,410 people) with emergency shelter and essential household items, and technical assistance including safe shelter awareness, trainings and workshops. Recovery shelter guidance was developed as a part of the TC Harold response, seeking to link humanitarian shelter with longer term recovery processes. The Pacific Shelter Cluster also inputted into the Pacific Humanitarian Team (PHT) COVID-19 Response Plan which covers 14 Pacific Island Countries and continued to support preparedness and capacity building initiatives tailored to in-country needs as detailed below.
