Host Community Guidelines

This paper serves as a living document which considers the experiences of host community assessments, needs and interventions in both Haiti and elsewhere to develop multi-sectoral guidelines for organisations and agencies in Haiti to support both directly and indirectly earthquake affected areas in Haiti.

It should be considered a first step in formulating guidelines for hosting support in Haiti and to be used in future emergencies. Next steps will be determined by the Host Family Working Group and involve updating information, analysing lessons learned, and applying them in this guideline format to be distributed at an inter-cluster level.
