Response

Response
In the first quarter of 2022, the sector partners were able to respond to some of the identified shelter and NFI needs. A total of 7,801 households were reached
with emergency shelter kits, 115 households were reached with durable shelter assistance and 84 households received construction materials for the shelter
construction. Similarly, 28,729 HHs received NFI kits. In total, 33,294 households received shelter and NFI assistance in West Darfur, East Darfur, North
Darfur, South Darfur, Kassala, Gedraif, Blue Nile, White Nile and Red Sea states.

Gaps / challenges

Gaps
The Shelter NFI sector is only 4% funded hence there is a considerable gap in funding. There are limited stocks available for responding to the new and sudden
displacements. Further, there is limited partner presence in some states such as West Darfur affecting the capacity of the cluster to respond to the emergencies in
timely manner.

Challenges
Access to some areas especially in the conflict affected and during rains is a constraint for assessing, responding to the needs and monitoring. The local
materials used for emergency shelter construction are not available throughout the year and are bulky to store. Hence there is a challenge to provide climate suitable shelter materials especially during rains. Furthermore, the use of local materials such as wooden pole poses a risk to already stressed environment in some states.
