Sphere Revision – Shelter, Settlement and NFI Chapter (2010 Edition)
Abstract:
The Sphere handbook is a relevant and ‘living’ document for emergency response that has improved the accountability of humanitarian agencies in recent years. In order to maintain the relevance and usefulness in disaster response, Sphere needs to keep abreast of changing practices in widely varied contexts in humanitarian work, as well as latest technical innovations. On these grounds and acknowledging the significant changes that have taken place since the 2004 edition, the Sphere Board has decided to revise the Sphere Project Handbook–Humanitarian Charter and Minimum Standards in Disaster Response. The new edition is slated to be published towards the end of 2010. Following the successful precedent set by earlier revisions, this process will also be broadly consultative, and based on establishing a consensus for the changes that will be made.
