Monitoring of the Shelter Programme 2017 (Ukraine)

Abstract

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.

Based on the received forms, in all 232 cases, the repair works were deemed to be in accordance with the locally accepted standards and good construction practices.

During the monitoring, shelter colleagues perform visual verification of the materials actually used in the repairs against what partners/contractors reported in the lists of utilized construction materials (including materials procured by both UNHCR and partners). In all 232 cases, the visual check confirmed the consistency of the actual utilization with what partners/contractors had reported.
