A Review of the Philippines Typhoons Shelter Working Group December 2006 – March 2007

The objectives of the PSWG review are to:
1. review and analyse the experience of the International Federation with respect to the establishment and operation of the PSWG, with a particular emphasis on lessons to be learnt for future operations;
2. provide a foundation for establishing policy and guidelines for emergency shelter coordination (cluster) leadership at a national level, including identification of the appropriate mechanisms and procedures to support shelter leadership at the national level within the Secretariat; and
3. provide recommendations with regard to the International Federation’s leadership of future emergency shelter coordination (cluster) activities both at global and at national levels.
4. examine if there were aspects of the Federation's cluster leadership which potentially might have or actually did compromise the mandate and principles of the Red Cross/Red Crescent.
