History of Shelter Meeting
The Shelter Meeting is a continuation of a series of review panel meetings organised by the University of Cambridge shelterproject. The University of Cambridge shelterproject was a not-for-profit group devoted to consolidating expertise in responding to the transitional settlement and shelter needs of populations affected by conflict and natural disasters.
The peer review meetings supported the guideline revision of ‘Transitional Settlement: Displaced Populations’ (Corsellis and Vitale/Oxfam, 2005).
At the final meeting, it was agreed by those present that the secretariat of a new Shelter Meeting would be held by Shelter Centre, so that the value to the sector of these regular events could be continued.
The first Shelter Meeting was hosted by UNDP in Geneva on 3 – 5 November 2004.
