Ukraine - Monitoring of the Shelter Programme - 2017

This dataset covers the finding of the post-execution monitoring of 232 houses repaired by UNHCR in the frame of the 2017 shelter programme in the east of Ukraine. The monitoring visits took place between December 2017 and August 2018, and were performed by teams composed by at least two members, one from the Shelter team and one from the Protection unit. The monitored sample covers all five UNHCR offices in the field (Mariupol, Sloviansk and Severodonetsk in Government Controlled Areas (GCA); Donetsk and Luhansk in non Government Controlled Areas (NGCA)). The 232 monitoring visits included in the report represent 13% of the 1.732 repairs conducted in 2017 by UNHCR. The number of monitoring visits conducted corresponds to approximately one-third of the target recommended by the SOPs (607 visits, or 35% of the total number of repairs). The monitoring of 2017 shelter activities confirms that shelter assistance - in terms of repair of houses damaged by conflict-related activities - is highly appreciated by the recipients and is generally executed with good quality. The consistent quality is related to the fact that it is easy to find construction companies and brigades with sufficient expertise, and the technology involved is basic and repetitive.
