| Indicator Name | % of targeted households living in safe, dignified, and adequate shelters meeting Sphere Shelter Standards |
|---|---|
| Indicator ID in PRIME | IN00041189 |
Definition
| Definition | This indicator targets the households/individuals who received shelter assistance and are living in these safe, dignified, and adequate shelters that meet Sphere Standards, the design of which is culturally acceptable, and (reconstruction of which is in accordance with safe building practices and involves the affected population.
|
|---|---|
| Numerator | Number of households that confirm/observed to have adequate shelter conditions meeting Sphere standards as a result of the intervention. |
| Denominator | Total number of households reached through shelter assistance program (in the form of NFI or CVA Distribution) |
Recommended Means of Verification
Data Collection Method/Tool: Routine monitoring / Post-Distribution Monitoring, Technical Assessments (Baseline / Endline).
Data Source: Construction or Technical Assessment Reports, Baseline / Endline Surveys, PDMs.
Who Collects: Enumerator (if self-assessment) or Save the Children/Implementing Partner Personnel (preferably with familiarity with sphere construction standards).
From Whom: Households that received assistance.
Frequency of Collection: Baseline / Endline.
Frequency of Reporting: The SCI centre reporting is only on a bi-annual basis 31st of July and 3the 1st of January.
How to Count/Aggregate Value: The assistance can be provided to different groups at various times, and the values can be aggregated based on the denominator and numerator values rather than taking the average of percentages. However, the LOA values must be generated from the last available Program Participant-based monitoring survey.
Baseline Value Info: If a baseline survey is possible, implementers are suggested to conduct either surveys with HHs to conduct a self-assessment of the situation of the HH, or technical observation by the technical staff.

A couple of recommended questions may include : -
1. Is the covered floor area at least 3. 5 square meters per person?
2. Does the shelter solution and materials meet locally agreed technical and performance standards?
3. Is the shelter solution culturally acceptable and meets minimum environmental considerations?
4. Has the (re)construction been done in accordance with safe building practices and standards?
5. Does the shelter intervention include involvement of the affected population?
It is crucial that the technical observation or self-assessment follows same quality benchmarks that is simple enough for non-technical person to be able to conduct.
NB : In some cases there may be national or local laws that are imposed by the authorities that are not meeting the Sphere Standards, for example meeting space standards. In those cases, as well as when the Shelter Cluster may have set minimum standards that have been adapted to the local context, the indicator may be reported against using those contextualised minimum standards.
