1. Purpose of this document
The purpose of this document is to compile in one place the necessary information for planning, monitoring, and reporting Shelter Cluster Activities included in the HNRP 2024.. It provides a description of the intended outcome  for each proposed activity, identifies the most suitable indicators for each activity, recommends modalities of assistance, shows the reference cost and provides instructions for ensuring coherence in activity reporting among different partners. This document does not replace the Shelter Cluster technical guidances and should be read together with those.
