Co-led by the International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent (IFRC) and the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the Global Shelter Cluster (GSC) is a platform of shelter and settlement partners. Its mission is to support crisis-affected people to live in safe, dignified, and appropriate shelter and settlements. The GSC and country-level clusters work collectively with national response actors to support people affected by disasters and conflict with timely, effective, and predictable shelter and settlement responses. In the first half of 2023, the Global Shelter Cluster (GSC) continued supporting the work of shelter clusters activated in 30 countries, collectively reaching more than 12 million people with shelter, non-food items, and settlements interventions. With a constant increase in the number of displaced people but also the protracted nature of displacement over the year, the GSC is currently responding with a range of approaches according to the context of displacement through more than 1000 partners (1058) across 30 responses. This mid-term report, covering January to June 2023, specifies priorities and achievements of the GSC at the global and country levels while highlighting key data on the impact and extent of interventions.
