Overview:
During 2015, Chitral was affected by two major disasters – the monsoon induced flash flooding and GLOF in July - August, and the 7.5 magnitude earthquake in October originating from Badakshan province in North-East Afghanistan. Chitral was one of the worst hit district in Pakistan, a total of 19,299 houses/shelters were damaged including 3,378 fully damaged[1].
Approximately 68% damages houses in Chitral have been repaired or rebuild, however, recent visits/assessments in Chitral especially targeting UC Mulkow and UC Charun, it was observed that populations still require shelter support especially technical support and capacity building for the community as well as local masons and carpenters as there are still many houses/shelters built unsafely and not resilient to floods or earthquake.
IOM as part of Natural Disaster Consortium proposes to support shelter recovery as part of its Multi-Year Humanitarian Programme through a capacity building project focusing on Build Back Safer trainings and awareness for the community as well as local masons and carpenters. The first step would be to devise suitable shelter design(s) for Chitral in line with Shelter Working Group strategy and guidelines[2]. These designs and associated guiding principles would then be adapted into a training programme which would include a Training of Trainers (TOT). The objective of the training programme would be to build the capacity of the technical staff as well as the master masons and carpenters that at later stage would cascade the trainings to the targeted community, local masons and carpenters at village level.
The TOT, that is planned to be started in in March 2018, will be conducted at the selected villages in UC Mulkow and UC Charun, Chitral district. One TOT will be conducted at a selected village in each UC and the TOT will include theory (in local language) and practical trainings. During the practical training, two demo/model shelters will be built, an adobe and a stone masonry shelter. 15 – 20 masons and carpenters will be selected from the villages in each UC that will participate in the TOT and the construction of demo/model shelters.
Scope of Work:
- In consultation with IOM, devise the 220 – 250sft low cost hazard resilient shelter designs suitable for Chitral with the reference to Shelter Cluster/Working Group guidelines and recommendation. Design focus would be for:
- Adobe, stone masonry or any other low cost or vernacular shelter typologies integrating Earthquake and Floods resilient features
- Develop and provide the user friendly technical guidelines of build back safer shelter construction for above typologies.
- Develop and provide the user friendly training materials which can be used and displayed by the trainers while demonstrating how to build safer shelter during the training sessions for the programme beneficiaries and/or communities.
- Prepare and provide the agenda for the TOT and training content/materials
- Prepare and deliver two sessions of TOT which includes theory and practical trainings. The TOT shall include:
- Site selection and preparation
- Materials selection, quality check and preparation; this should include the recommendation of alternate materials and guidance for usage of salvage materials
- Step by step guidance for all stages of construction (foundation; walls which includes banding, openings, lintel, ring beam, etc; roof which also include roof structures) for all shelter typologies
- Guidance and recommendations for repair and retrofitting
- Shelter maintenance
- Provide the Bill of Quantity (BoQ) for model shelters (adobe and stone masonry shelters)
- Provide time schedule/work plan for the construction of model shelters
- Provide the logistic arrangements for the TOT (i.e. lunch, refreshment, etc)
- Provide necessary stipend for participants (masons/carpenters)
- Provide technical supervision and step by step guidance on the building of four demo/model shelters
- Construction of four 220 – 250sft low cost hazard resilient demo/model shelter
- Link the practical sessions with the construction of demo/model shelters
- Provide handholding sessions – each TOT participant to be requested to deliver training for a specific subject for 20 – 30 minutes, master trainers will monitor to evaluate and provide feedbacks for any identified gaps. During this handholding session the master trainer(s) can evaluate each participant on retaining memory and knowledge they received during the training and also the capacity on delivering the training to the audience.
- Provide the TOT final report with following requirement:
- Narrative report includes lesson learnt and recommendations.
- The evaluation report for each participants
- Documentation includes attendance sheets, soft copy of photos and short video capturing the TOT (during the theory and practical training) and the construction of demo/model shelter
Outputs:
- One 220 – 250sft low cost hazard resilient shelter design for each proposed typology, which includes detailed drawing for each segment of shelter.
- One BoQ for each proposed typology.
- A technical guidelines of build back safer shelter construction for all proposed typologies, includes necessary info graphic illustration.
- A set of training materials for all typologies, includes with info graphic illustration that can be easily understand by the trainers and community. The training materials can be produced as the panaflex posters or any other media
- A training agenda which include details of training content and training materials
- Two sessions of TOT for a total 50 – 60 participants are conducted by at least one master trainer for each session – each session with the theory and practical training.
- A time schedule/work plan for the construction of each demo/model shelter. This need to be linked with the training agenda.
- Four demo/model shelters are built in accordance to the proposed design/guideline.
- Between 40-50 TOT participants received feedback and guidance on how to deliver proper training during handholding sessions.
- Documentation for each training and construction of model shelter – includes attendance sheet, photos and short video for each training subject and construction stages.
- An evaluation report for each participant.
- A final report of TOT.
