Flood Resilient Shelter in Pakistan : Phase 2: Evidence Based Research
Research report and Shelter Guide on flood resilient shelter in southern Pakistan
Abstract
Extreme flooding since 2010 in Southern Pakistan has affected 35 million people and damaged or destroyed 2.5 million homes. By mid-2014, approximately 200,000 shelters have been implemented by various shelter organisations. This study was commissioned by the UK Department for International Development and the International Organization for Migration (IOM)) with 4 objectives:
-
to substantiate the criteria metrics developed for the 14 indicators during Phase 1 of this study through scientific testing and analysis
-
to utilise the criteria metrics to rigorously evaluate the performance of shelter consulted in southern Pakistan 2010-2012
-
to capture the methodology and findings in a research report, contributing to an academic and scientific evidence base on food resilient shelter
-
to make recommendations in a Shelter Guide that will inform best practice in the design, and implementation of flood resilient shelter in southern Pakistan
This guide captures objectives 1-3. There is an accompanying Shelter guide which captures objective 4. ‘Pakistan Shelter Guide: Design for improved flood resilience in Sindh’
