History of Shelter Meeting
The first Shelter Meeting was hosted by UNDP in 2004, and it was a series of review panel meetings organised by the University of Cambridge shelterproject. This 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. Today the Shelter Meeting is run by Shelter Centre.
