In December 2024, the GSC compiled all 5W indicators used by national Shelter Clusters and Sectors to develop a standardized list. Once this list was harmonized, a mapping exercise was conducted with each national Shelter Cluster to integrate the standard indicators into their respective 5W reporting tools. The GSC then consolidated the 5W data received for the first quarter of 2025 into a master dataset, enabling an initial analysis of the overall scope and nature of the Shelter responses.

This factsheet presents the first global overview based on the GSC standardized 5W indicators.
