The main objective of this consultancy is to facilitate and inform SI’s Shelter Rehabilitation response strategic planning from a technical perspective. This will be accomplished by (1) conducting technical assessments on damaged structures and (2) capacitating SI’s team on how to approach rehabilitations with a “build back better” approach. Furthermore, (3) it is expected that in the process of conducting this assessments and capacity building, the outcomes can be shared among the relevant stakeholders (e.g., Shelter Cluster) as well as eventually be translated into a general guidance and/or resources data base that can inform SI’s Shelter Department in future responses of similar characteristics.
Technical Assessment
Given the complex context and the limited access to NWS (specially Idleb governorate), the consultant will work remotely in collaboration with SI’s coordination and field teams, which are composed of qualified engineers currently in charge of carrying out the ongoing small business rehabilitations and who will also be responsible for SI’s future interventions.
The consultant will first have to work with SI’s team to shortlist 5 to 10 critical facilities (the final number will depend on the size of the facilities) where the technical assessments will be carried out. This will be done in coordination with local authorities and the Shelter and Early Recovery and Livelihoods clusters. For this purpose, SI has decided to concentrate as first area of approach in the sub-district of Dana, located in Harim district, Idleb governorate.
