GLOBAL SHELTER CLUSTER ANNUAL MEETING 2020

The Yemen Coordination Team presented their country profile. 

1. Yemen is a complex context where there are regular emergencies within emergencies. For this reason, in 2020 the Yemen Shelter Cluster team created the concept of #72hoursresponse. This ensured that partners were able to displacements cauesd by conflict and disasters within 72 hours through their pipeline while also trying to ensure coordination with parallel mechanisms. 
2. Yemen has a network of 45 funded Shelter Cluster partners and 122 non-funded Shelter Cluster partners. 1% of partners are international, 5% national, 26% are provincial, and 68% are local. 
3. COVID19, flooding, winterization, and summerization were all challenges encountered in the year. The Shelter Cluster put into place guidance for these activities and made innovations in the way the pipeline was handled and made innovations to information management including auto machine learning.
