UNHCR’s prioritized shelter response will target 80 per cent of the most extremely vulnerable and newly displaced IDPs where households support people with physical or mental disabilities. This response will predominantly comprise CCCM and NFI/Shelter Cluster advocacy and coordination for external actors to implement the urgent shelter intervention themselves, with UNHCR acting as a last resort to provide direct life-saving shelter assistance. Coupled with the presence of disabilities, the selection criteria will focus on single female-headed households, child-headed households, the very elderly and SGBV survivors. Without a full implementation plan, there is a high risk that the majority of IDPs, lacking the capacity and means for self-coping mechanisms, will not have the adequate protection needed to ensure their well-being, storage of belongings and access to livelihoods and vital services.
