OVERVIEW

The objective of the Pacific Shelter Cluster is to support a coherent and effective humanitarian shelter response following disaster events in Pacific island countries, underpinned by a sustained focus on preparedness initiatives. Much of this support is provided to national Governments who are responsible for humanitarian response in their countries.

The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) is the lead agency of the Pacific Shelter Cluster, in accordance with its global shelter mandate, within the Pacific Humanitarian Team (PHT) coordination framework.

The Pacific Shelter Cluster is a grouping of partners that have an operational interest in assisting affected populations in the recovery of their shelter after natural disasters, and currently includes national Governments, NGOs, INGOs, United Nations organisations, regional bodies, Red Cross, faith-based organizations, academic institutions and the private sector.
