CRAterre, in collaboration with, among others, the Global Shelter Cluster, IFRC, CARE, the AE&CC research unit (University of Grenoble, IDEX), CENDEP (Oxford Brookes University), has been working for several years on the development and dissemination of a method for identifying local building cultures and practices (LBCs and LBPs). The objective is to facilitate the identification of the strengths and weaknesses of local building cultures and practices and the opportunities they offer, to promote them in reconstruction, rehabilitation or housing improvement projects, in an adapted version if necessary, and thus contribute to disaster risk reduction (DRR) and to efforts to contextualize and reduce the environmental impact of responses. Since 2016, 14 SRPs have been carried out by CRAterre with national Shelter clusters (SCs) for the following countries and territories: Fiji, Haiti, Ecuador (Coast), Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Democratic Republic of Congo (South-East), Tonga, Malawi, Burkina Faso, Yemen, Venezuela, Somalia, Nepal, North West Syria. CRAterre and the Global Shelter Cluster believe that an impact study of the SRPs produced is necessary to: • Verify their real impact on the projects and strategies of the Shelter clusters, • Verify their usefulness in making shelter responses more ecological. The aim of this report is to present an analysis of the results of the SRPs impact study on shelter projects and SCs strategies, conducted from March to December 2023.
