Contracted labour- for large or complex projects, infrastructure
Direct labour- for small projects and rapid response
Cash- dispersed directly to beneficiaries in phases
Vouchers- an alternative to cash for materials or services
Loans and guarantees- when there is stable access to supplies and repayment is feasible

Exercise: Environmental implications
See page __
• Divide into four groups
• Each group will be assigned a specific disaster phase and one or two of the shelter types for displaced populations
• Each group will analyze the environmental issues or implications for their shelter type for that stage of disaster response
• Consider what natural resources are used and where the resources come from

Key Points
1. The primary role of the Environmental Advisor is to be an effective advocate for practical shelter solutions that have the least possible negative environmental impact.
2. Transitional shelter should be made of materials that can be moved and reused.
3. Optimize use of debris to use it as resource of building materials and to clear site.
4. The Emergency Shelter Cluster may assist in setting up an IDP camp, but transition and resettlement is not within the mandate of the ESC.
5. Build back safer and build back sustainably
