As part of its ongoing collaboration with UNHCR, REACH carried out a comprehensive shelter assessment in Al Za’atari camp. The overall goal of this shelter assessment was to increase accountability in regards to the distribution of caravans to Syrian refugees in Al Za’atari camp. The specific objective of the assessment was to monitor the status of caravans since they had been delivered. The assessment provided also an opportunity to investigate the physical condition of caravans, and thus to gain an better understanding of the overall shelter situation within the camp in order to inform the shelter sector response in terms of repairs and replacement. Additional information was collected on the use of Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) facilities, as part of a follow-up to a previous assessment carried out by REACH on wastewater in Al Za'atari.
