19. LEARNING Standardisation of the design Mobilisation of the community Speed – deliver what you say to the village Level of Approach – Village, not house Contained areas of work Preparedness against bottlenecks Finance Human Resources Material logistics Position closer to field location

20. LEARNING CONT.… Involve and build relationships with the contractors Monitoring and Quality control Define roles and responsibility Use of drop box Team formation Keep all your work in a contained area. It makes logistics and mutual support easier. Regular Learning Reviews

21. DON’T RUSH IN!!! So you have carried out a pilot. Did you learn from it? The Design – standardised? The Team Structure The community impact The Processes made into SOP’s. Adjusted the budget based on pilot? Learn, Learn, LEARN!!!!!!

22. SO NOW YOU WANT TO SCALE UP… Make your life easier by. Scale up your team from Pilot to Operational size before you go to the first village. Spend time capacity building the team Find the contractors before the assessments Keep all your work in a contained area. It makes logistics and mutual support easier.

23. BEFORE YOU GO INTO THE FIRST VILLAGE… Have you got all the forms ready? Did you test them. Have you got a clear process? Are you ready to follow up with construction soon after assessment?

REQUEST TO ERHWG Re-awaken the “design comparison review.” Comparison of designs and modality of implementation to be a constructive feedback and lessons learnt to visit and assess other NGO’s sites. Report rate of progress (Number of shelters delivered / Number of Implementing Partners / No of months working) Bring other NGO’s in to shelter Do no Harm and Build back better
