Adaptability

- Yes, it can be used in other contexts, however it is not a complete emergency shelter, it is only covered space.

- consider changing the illustrations used

Text Clarity

- The word tent is misleading. It is a set of instructions for a covered shelter. Otherwise the text is kept to a minimum and it is clear.

- Minimal text in the actual document

Context Appropriateness

- Not sure on what instance within the context of Iraq it is intended to be used, or for how long it is intended considering temperature changes in Iraq. Also unclear how the tools required will be acquired.

- consider changing the illustrations used

Technical Complexity

- The construction of a plastic covered shelter itself is not very complex, but the steps to follow in order to achieve the desired result in this particular example can be. To follow the steps in this material would demand some form of in-person technical support. In itself the material can be too complex. I would not suggest adjusting the material, but would suggest that a message to those using this material to ensure there is a provision for some carpentry support to PoC whenever possible.

- Please see comments in the actual document

Image Clarity

- Step 1 - does not specify what needs to be measured, and what the dimensions the plot should be. Step 8 - it is not easy to understand, and it is too cluttered. I would suggest breaking this into two steps, and adding the information on correctly attaching plastic sheet.

- Please see comments in the actual document

Technical Accuracy

- It covers all basic technical steps. Step 8 should better explain how to attach the plastic sheeting to the wood so it does not rip easily - similar to the inset box used in step 10.

- Please see comments in the actual document

Potential Risk

- Please consider using actual photos of how to pitch and emergency shelter kit in line with the guidance providing by the Shelter Cluster of Iraq

Additional Explanation

Yes, it is enough

No, it needs additional explanation

Rollout

Overall

It is a well designed guide, but needs some minor adjustments as detailed above.

Illustrations are very unclear and without actual text to explain in further detail. Using photos might make the guidance more understandable
