Shelter is one of the most complex and resource-intensive areas of humanitarian response, shaping safety, dignity, health, and the prospects for recovery long after the emergency phase. This advanced programme equips senior practitioners to design, lead, and coordinate shelter and settlements response across emergency, transitional, and durable phases.
Designed for an international audience from officer to director level, the programme addresses shelter strategy and response options, settlements and area-based approaches, housing-land-and-property issues, environmental sustainability, and shelter coordination. Participants learn to lead shelter response that is people-centred, context-driven, and connected to recovery.
