NEEDS ANALYSIS:
During March,800 refugees benefited from the construction of 160 tent foundations and cooking areas.
The objective of the sector is to provide adequate and targeted shelter support Syrian refugees living in camps in order to reduce vulnerability and physical settlement issues within the camp.
In the Arbat permanent camp in Sulaymaniyah work for tent foundation and water sanitation structures was ongoing i.e. UNHCR completed all structural work for eight blocks that can host up to 10,200 persons. Construction works on administration is 75% complete. Besides, Primary Health Care Centers facilities are complete and handed over to Directorate of Health.
All individuals arriving in transit centers and camps will be prioritized for emergency shelter provision, while those who have been settled longer than six months will be assisted with replacement tents and plastic sheeting as well as materials to further build up the cement walls around the tents.
Various technical meetings took place in Domiz with DMC and UNICEF regarding the proposed comprehensive drainage project.
Land development will be required in seven camps for 48,555 persons, and land will need to be allocated for the establishment of new camps. WASH infrastructure will also need to be implemented.

Notwithstanding that the main focus for the shelter sector are the camp refugees, there are some urgent needs for the non-camp population. These include advocacy for continued refugee residency in host communities, upgrades to the dwellings of refugees living in non-camp settings, and the prevention of informal settlements in urban areas.
