Highlights
In 2025, the Shelter Cluster aims to support 1.1million people with emergency and transitional shelter, non-food items (NFIs), and seasonal assistance, for which $179 million is required. The primary focus will be on addressing immediate, lifesaving needs to ensure safety, protection, and safeguard lives, prioritizing communities affected by sudden onset disasters, high-altitude regions facing harsh winters, recent returnees from Pakistan, and IDPs in ISET voluntary planning to return to their places of origin. Assistance will be provided across all 34 provinces, in both rural and urban areas, through the delivery of emergency shelter and NFI items, essential winter supplies, repair services, and transitional shelter support. Transitional shelter, repair, upgrade shelter solutions will be prioritized for persons with specific needs (PSNs), particularly those living in makeshift or damaged homes under severe (phase 4) or catastrophic (phase 5) conditions.
Between January and March 2025, ES/NFI partners have reached 183,299 people, 17 per cent of the overall target, with assistance which includes 4,344 people with emergency shelter assistance, 41,946 people with essential household items; 24,207 people with support to repair and rehabilitate damaged homes; 123,789 people with seasonal winter assistance including heating, fuel, winter clothing and blankets; 1,565 people with support to construct transitional shelter. This included 5,986 women headed households.
The response in first quarter of 2025 was made possible through a combination of carry over and new funding ($9.9 USD Million). Approximately 17 per cent of the total assistance was delivered during the first quarter, largely driven by winter response efforts, funded primarily through carryover resources from 2024.
