Beside the classical shelter interventions, the Sector is launching new types of shelter assistance, stressing on the community empowerment and utilizing its capacity.

Furthermore, the Sector supports governorates’ technical departments for Operation and Maintenance programmes in public collective shelters to be carried out through dedicated units in collaboration with IDP communities
New shelter projects are initiated in empty public or industrial complexes, as comprehensive intervention, combining components of several sectors into one comprehensive response, benefiting high numbers of people through different services
In summary, protraction and complexity of the crisis in the country require further efforts to develop emergency response into more sustainable resilience oriented response. The Sector therefore increasingly promotes support to IDPs’ self-help based initiatives
