Rakhine Settlement Support Project (Rssp)

UN-HABITAT’s shelter recovery project in post-Giri affected areas of Myanmar is designed to: ·  facilitate the retrofitting and rebuilding of basic shelter and essential household facilities; and ·  facilitate community action planning so that people can proactively participate in recovery while re-establishing community-based social protection measures and enhance community capacity to plan and manage the recovery process and sustained long-term development. This is done through the improving of the shelter conditions of most vulnerable households through provision of shelter materials, rapid skills upgrading for safer building techniques, promotion of livelihoods with local construction and mobilisation of building materials; injection of cash into local economy through housing programmes that provide livelihood opportunities for unskilled workers, artisans, carpenters, masons, and ensure sustainability of resettlement sites with integrated approach. The project provides communities with grants and the organizational and technical guidance necessary to rehabilitate and rebuild their shelter. r issue contract to international consultants to prepare and organize researches, capacity building activities and workshops
