Title: Consultancy - Shelter and Settlements Global Strategic Review

Background

In 2022, NRC will develop new global strategies for both the Shelter and Settlements (S&S), and WASH Core Competencies (CC) of NRC. This strategic review will aim to assess opportunities, options, and challenges for further development of both CCs, as well as reflect on the representation of and contribution to the new Programme Development Strategy (presently underway). This study is intended to be complementary to the thematic review and other consolidation exercises conducted by the Global S&S and WASH Leads during the same timeframe.

Shelter and Settlements (S&S) and WASH operations exist in NRC as both standalone CCs but also as combined operations (S&S/WASH). This is dependent on a number of factors including the history of programmes in country, staffing, finance, response needs etc. S&S Programming is across all 4 operational regions, Central and West Africa, East Africa and Yemen, Middle East and AELA (Asia, Europe, and Latin America).

The Shelter and Settlements portfolio is broad and includes, Emergency, Temporary and Permanent interventions for Shelter, School construction, Infrastructure (inc. for other CCs), Household NFIs and access to Clean Energy and elements of DRR.

Objectives

The primary objective of the Strategic Review is to identify opportunities and constraints of NRC the Shelter and Settlements portfolio, modalities and approaches to inform both the core competency strategy development and our ways of working with the other CC’s and development areas - with a focus on WASH, Education, Livelihoods and Camp Management as well as Integrated Programming, Durable Solutions, Hard to Reach and Cash and Markets. This will be achieved by:

Reflecting on strategic gaps and challenges in terms of NRC’s global S&S programmes
Analysing gaps (and the driving factors of those gaps) of NRC’s global S&S programmes
Reflecting on broader benefits of the NRC S&S programme
Reflecting on strategic opportunities and other future directions for the S&S programme
Making recommendations on critical issues, strategic areas of focus, and possible new structural or conceptual set up to inform further steps of S&S strategy development
