Coordination
Coordination with stakeholders i.e. Cluster leads, relevant government

Need & Gap Analysis
Analyzing available baseline information if any i.e. Damage assessments,
MSNA, REACH, 4W etc and conducting targeted Rapid Need Assessments in
gap locations
 To understand demography, levelof severity / damage and vulnerability in
specific context and ensure the needs/gaps are measured
0.5 Mins

4. Slide-4
Capacity
Correlating context and needs to organizational sector specific strategy
(boundaries), technical and operationalstrengths and weaknesses from
HQ, regional to local context i.e. SWOT analysis, region and country’ operational
strategy, Partnership, available and expected Resources (Funds and HR) etc
 To design a viable product and process

Standards
Consulting Local shelter cluster strategy, key shelter actors’ response,
organization’ own guidelines and government counterpart ‘guidelines in
addition to global standards i.e. SPHERE etc.

Time-line
COTEXT & NEEDS equation alone determine needed timeline for assistance to be
relevant and together with organizational CAPACITY analyses equate to a TIME-
LINE for the intended intervention (Product and Process)
 To determine the timeline for the relevant assistance in addition to viability

7. Slide-7
Product
Product should be designed (or opted from already availableoptions)* in the
light of correlationanalyses of context, needs/gaps, capacity, standards and time-
line
 Defining Intervention logic(key intended results, impacts, objectives, activities)
are as important as shelter product itself (Direct & Indirect benefits) keeping
