This review was undertaken at the request of IFRC’s Shelter Department and focuses on: the cluster activation in January; the role and performance of the shelter cluster coordinators; and IFRC’s handover and exit from this role at the end of April 2008. The aim of the review was to identify lessons which needed to be learned, and to make recommendations to help IFRC fulfil its leading role in emergency shelter. The review relied on interviews with key players and the review of key documents.
